Maui Christmas? Nope.

So, this is supposed to be the blog where I lose weight in preparation for my trip to Maui. You know, my big goal—my weight loss treat—my 10-yr wedding anniversary—the driving factor in taking this journey into weight loss.

Now I get to tell you how it has been diverted by my ambitious husband’s desire to get an education. Pfffft... Stupid Worker’s Compensation.

Let me tell you this—be safe at work. Don’t ever get injured while on the job. You will become royally effed and it will last for YEARS people.

This trip has been set back due to the fact that the workers comp insurance company FINALLY gave us the education voucher---YAY! But his schooling starts at the end of September --- WHAAA? Therefore, our trip will most likely be at the beginning of September where my body won’t be anywhere near where I wanted it to be--BOOOOO WHAHHHHHHH!

As I type this, I realize how ridiculous I sound, bitching about visiting Maui. Not bitching that I can’t go. I am crying about my weight and the fact that I will probably be about 20 lbs from where I had intended to be during our trip.

WHAHH! Poor me. Crying about being overweight in Maui. Whateva!

Now, mind you, we have been steadily saving for this trip for over a year. We have it all planned out. But the universe doesn’t hear dates or times; it hears wants, desires and wishes—so, be careful what you wish for. Needless to say, that day when I said “it would be so cool to go to Maui on Daisy’s birthday”—is going to happen. What other 11-year old gets to goto Hawaii for her 11th birthday? Well, not ours....we are very adamant about telling her it’s a coincidence, not her present.

Sure, we could go a month later, at Christmas time—but that would be about $700 more PER PERSON. It’s not in the budget.

So whahha, I have to goto Maui early. What's good is that I am looking forward to running on the beaches, hiking in the hills and walking along the road to Hana as we take in the scenery….maybe I’ll lose weight while we are there…only time will tell!

On another note—I had one of the best weeks ever for my heart and soul. I got to perform with my girls—The Real Housewives of Rio Linda—in my hometown of San Jose at the Improv. Reading my blog this morning made me realize that it’s nights like that when God or Buddah or the Universe show you what life is all about. Family, Friends, Love and GOOD times. I got to reconnect—in person, not online—with some of my most amazing and dear friends and I will always remember that night. Time is priceless. Hawaii ain’t shit compared to time spent with the people you love.

Have a great week!
