Much like my cat, Barbara Walters, Ive been suuuper lazy lately with my photography. I'm feeling the need for some inspiration, or maybe a new photo editing program that will give me some new options. Any of you heard or have any reviews on Lightroom? I've been eyeing this program but I want to make sure its worth the $$$.

Are there any new products you have been using lately that have taken your pictures to the next level? Recommendations?

I did find this "ebook" (link below) that teaches tricks with some pretty amazing results. I might try it out, if so I will follow with a review. What do you think?

I finalllyyyyyyyyy got my blog back!!! Ok I know it has been a really long time since my last post and I apologize for that! But now we must make up for lost time...stay tuned for more randomness from me, your favorite villain.

The Man on the Moon

Today is a monumental day in my life...I am meeting my biological father after 30 years of curiosity. The last time he saw me in person was the day I was born, so it's a pretty big deal for both of us.

At first, I was a basket of nerves; not knowing how him or I will react to each other, unsure if I will measure up to his expectations and vice versa.

As the time for us to meet closes in, the veil of uncertainty also disperses. All doubt is flooding from my pores, and I just feel weightless, almost as if I could float into the universe and never return. This is the most sureal experience I have had up to this point in my life, and I'm holding onto it with dear life. I don't want it to slip away...

Today is a monumental day in my life...today I am meeting The Man on the Moon...

Moving Day(s)

Three years have come and gone...which can only mean 1 thing: PCS time. I cannot believe our time in Hawaii has already come to an end. It seems like we just arrived on island, I'm not ready to say goodbye yet. But, whether I'm ready or not, that PCS date is rapidly approaching.

Last week we had to pack our entire material lives into large wooden crates and send it on its way across the ocean. Here's hoping it doesn't fall in!

Getting on that airplane in a few weeks will prove to be hard for me. I've thouroughly enjoyed being "lost" out at sea...on a beautiful tropical island that feels almost like it's own universe. Where no matter where you went, the air always smelled like flowers...where everyone feels like Ohana...where my heart will always long to be, even if for only a moment.

Mililani Car Show

Last night B and I went to a gathering of car enthusiasts showing off their prized possessions. The horse power was so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife...

This is a 2003 SVT Cobra Convertible 10th Anniversary edition (B's car!)

Here is an SS Camaro:This is a 2003 Cobra Mustang (B's friend's car):

GT 500:

And last but most certainly not least, my favorite car of the evening (besides B's car), this is a '69 Mach 1 Mustang with a 428 Cobra Jet engine:

P.F. Chang's

B and I absolutely LOVE chinese cuisine. And our favorite place to get our latest fix? Well, P.F. Chang's, of course! I'm working on having a little of each item on their menu, lol...

My favorite dish at Chang's is the Wok-Seared Lamb. Just typing those words made my mouth water! If you like lamb, then you are guaranteed to love this dish. They have numerous other dishes that will satisfy any palatte.

Here is a little sneak-peek of what we had the last time we dined:

The appetizer, crab rangoon:

B's "Asian StreetFare Noodles":

I got the Crispy Honey Shrimp:

One satisfied customer :P
