JADE FLOWER LEI At the Haiku Ho'olaulea 2008 at the Haiku Community Center last weekend, we ran into someone making leis from JADE flowers. These incredible looking flower garlands are a traditional Hawaiian custom. A lei is worn around the neck. The flowers grow in long bunches from a climbing vine that entwines through a tree branches. These ones are growing in the Waipio area along the north shore of Maui Hawaii - in the Haiku district. That's the real color of the flowerets. Are you thinking of moving to Haiku Maui?

3, 4F, 2, 4, 3, 8my measurements back then -too embarrassed nowSo my Haiku'ic - Friday Confession is that I've gained a shit load of weight since I had my 2nd child. It's not baby weight. It's lazy-overeating-never-get-off-my-ass-possibly-hormonal-because-of-the-tubal weight. I need to lose...I want to say...60 pounds. J. and everyone else says that that's way too much and that I'll look anorexic but I pay them no mind.The only time you pay attention to someone telling you that you want to lose too much weight is when they say "You don't need to lose a pound!"If they say anything like "oh, that's too much!" or "maybe 10 or 15" or "you could just tone up a bit!" then they're full of shit; they think you're a walrus and are trying not to hurt your feelings.Trust me.My tits weigh 10 pounds ea

And it's been a week with no one there! No word on what happened, but knowing that they were in foreclosure last fall, only to be given one more chance, I can infer that foreclosure has finally caught up to them.

Is it a virus, spreading blog to blog? Is it contagious? With each new pregnancy announcement, I start to sweat a little, wondering if a second form of birth control should be added to the regimen. Can't be too careful, right? I mean, my two girls are adorable, but the thought of a third one right now makes me nauseous.So to all of you pregnant bloggers out there - I love you, I'm excited for you, and I will keep reading (and I want you to come visit me, too), but keep your maternity cooties to yourself, OK?To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:1.

Cordy's new breakthrough:Her hair is OK to touchWithout a meltdownRubber bands and bows -Ringlets cascading downwardShe looks so girlyCordy's sensory issue with her hair has been a problem for over a year. Those gorgeous curls are always begging for attention, yet any attempt to touch them is met with screams and wails. This is especially a problem for distant family and strangers, who seem to be drawn to those Shirley Temple ringlets with a burning desire to pull one of those little golden springs.Every time we wash her hair is a battle. While she likes to splash and play in the bath, she despises water on her head. And combing out her curls takes an entire episode of Bunnytown, since we have to distract her with TV to even have a chance at getting a comb near her. Sure, she has pretty h

Ok, it’s not really a haiku and unfortunately, it’s not the first time I’m writing about vaginal repair. This year, an old apartment that used to be a ticketing office magically transformed to a lying-in-clinic/ dermatology clinic/ spa! Well, the fact that this clinic is an enchilada isn’t the thing that’s most interesting about it. In an effort to reach out to the middle-aged women who probably need to have their vagina umm… remodeled, re-uphostlered and… renovated, the clinic put up a very eye-catching tarpaulin that literally makes everyone look stare ogle gawk.
warning: pictures after the jump may be riveting.

Dark clouds overheadPlease let us weather this stormCrossing my fingersMy stomach in knotsDid we offend you, karma?Let things go our way.I wish I could tellAll these worries in my headBut I must stay muteWant to know how to drive a blogger insane? Give her news that directly affects her family and stresses her out, but then tell her she can't blog about it because people involved may read the blog, which could affect the outcome. It's killing me.I want to explain what's going on. I want to whine and cry and ask for a shoulder to lean on, spilling out my fears to any who would listen. It's a situation I've never had to deal with before, it's scary, and being unable to type out those words is almost painful. It's such a big part of my life right now that writing posts without discussing it feels sort of dishonest.As soon as I'm able, I will share everything. But for now, I can only write these vague lines. Slightly therapeutic, but overall still unsatisfying to me, and I'm sure

Her first school picture Takes an hour to make her sitSo very CordyI knew in advance that picture day didn't go well at school. Her teacher told me that it took nearly an hour to get her into the picture room, and even then she didn't want to get near the flash and the camera. To make it even better, she had split her bottom lip that morning, too.Cordy used to love getting her picture taken at photo studios as a baby. Proof? OK, if you insist:See? I told you she loved the camera. But since the summer before she turned two, photo studios have scared her terribly, and after the last attempt at two years old, we haven't tried taking her back. Her sensory issues have only become worse since then - I can't imagine she would be able to sit for an entire photo session.So I wasn't surprised to find this as her first preschool picture:A slightly scared, cautiously curious, partially pissed-off look. Yep, that's my girl. And while at first I was a little disappointed that we didn't get a

sueña con sus batallas.
Otro es mi sueño.

La barba no lo sabe.
Crecen las uñas.
Ésta es la mano
que alguna vez tocaba
tu cabellera.
Bajo el alero
el espejo no copia
más que la luna.
Bajo la luna
la sombra que se alarga
es una sola.
¿Es un imperio
esa luz que se apaga
o una luciérnaga?
La luna nueva.
Ella también la mira
desde otra puerta.
Lejos un trino.
El ruiseñor no sabe
que te consuela.
La vieja mano
sigue trazando versos

Cordy will not accept that Halloween is over, and I'm slowly going insane from it. I think even at Christmas she'll be walking up to Santa, saying "Look, mommy, a red monster! Happy Halloween!"To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What's a haiku, you ask?

Looks like the SciFi Channel has given up on forcing us to watch Flash Gordon by plopping two minutes of Battlestar in the middle of it: the Razor flashbacks are now online. Here’s your haiku review: (more…)

Once again, my lovelies, it's Haiku Friday!
The way, and how much, you sleep - as well as how you start your day - have so much impact on the shape of things in your life.
Let me dabble with...
My stomach in knots,I feel sick, no energy -Sugar hangoverThe one problem with having a child who doesn't know what to do with candy is that I then eat way too much of it.Cordy loved trick or treat, had a lot of fun looking at her candy, but has yet to figure out that you eat it. Meaning it's just sitting in the bowl, taunting me. I've been snacking on it for over 24 hours now, giving me the worst candy hangover since I was eight and devoured all of the Reese's Cups in my stash in one sitting.

It’s really late and I’m super-tired. But I’m not too tired to bring you a haiku, my friends.
And so,
two outdoor parties
in cold and rain, the sickness:
inevitable
Yeah, we party like penguins out here in the sticks.
I’ll write more when I unfreeze.
That’d be tomorrow.
Come visit me tomorrow. tomorrow. tomorrow.
(That was me, doing an echo. echo. echo.)
Okay, I’m going to bed.

My dog is stinky.Made appointment for groomer.Named Tiny Bubbles Chester is anxiousFell off table way too scaredBlood everywhere…eww! It’s OK BuddyLet me find the source of bloodSit still you big lug I said “Sit Still PLEASE”Yucky. You lost a toe nail.“SIT NOW CRAZY DOG” Oh, no…you did NOTI should not have raised my voiceYou pooped everywhere! -- Needless to say, Chester’s recent grooming experience SUCKED! We adopted the poor dog from the Australian Shepard Rescue League on January 1st of this year. We were approved for adoption rather quickly, however it took about 9 months for us to find the “right” dog for our family. He is really a big love…and I mean BIG. He is 90 lbs. The typical Aussie is around 45 lbs. We joke that we got a 2fer. He is pure Aussie, but looks like he was bred with a Newfoundland. He is such a gentle giant. He’s so sweet and so great with our other dog and, most importantly, the k
Once again, my lovelies, it's Haiku Friday!
I'm going to celebrate Beauty in Nature this Friday. It's one of my favorite things about existing.____Eastward it rises
Tomorrow, it will return
We wait in darkness.____Web spins so quickly
Flies die - no chance to escape
Spiders are hungry.____Each petal opens
Slowly she stretches upward
The gladiolus.

The sudden sharp painIt's like a Vulcan nerve pinchLet go! Let go please!I'll chop it all offIf you pull my hair once more -That really hurts kid!After nearly a year of growing out my hair, I'm seriously tempted to cut it again right now. Mira is practicing her death grip, and my hair is her favorite target. Sometimes she doesn't even look - she reaches upwards and back, finds hair, holds on and pulls. And when that happens, I'm at her mercy, brought to my knees as I beg this little person to please release me.My hair is too short in the front to be held back in a ponytail. I tell myself that this phase will pass (along with the biting - that will pass, too. Right?), and cutting it all off would be bad. But bald can be sexy, right? It has to be better than having patches of bald spots from a tiny torture specialist.To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:1. Write your own haiku on your blog.
