Waikiki Aquarium, earlier this year.

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." -Randy Pausch

Keeping myself busy busy busy. Actually more like keeping my mind busy, because really I was already a busy little bee before all this. Here's a list of what I've got planned so far...

-I started re-reading "The Last Lecture," by Randy Pausch, who died of pancreatic cancer 2 years ago. A very inspirational book. If you haven't already watched his lecture, definitely youtube it. Priya suggested I start reading, but I'm really not one of those get engrossed in a storyline kind of readers. Saw this on Wayne's floor and thought I could use a book like this.

-The Workout Plan: running, running my ass off.

-Malia doesn't know it but this year I'm sending out Citron Kidz Christmas Cards. I'm totally making this happen! Think Hello Kitty, 4 lovely ladies, and Christmas.

-Cleaning my room. Time for a room facelift! Looks like shopping trips to Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond are in my future.

-ATV field trip. Ala, Chaz, and I have been talking about this for sometime now. Let's make it happen soon!

-SF for a few days at the end of month! My third favorite city to visit (behind Tokyo and NYC).
