And You Thought Gas Was Expensive...


While in Hawaii I was in a grocery store buying a few things. One item I needed was milk.

I really wish I had taken a picture to prove this. But seriously? I was in shock.

A gallon of milk, regular old milk, not even organic or anything is...


(drum roll please)


$10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No joke.


Hawaiians probably give their kids Johnny Walker Red Label instead of milk....it is way flippin cheaper. Just slap a nipple on the bottle for infants or pour in a sippy cup for toddlers and away you go.
(I really don't condone underage drinking....just trying to make a point here on the outrageous cost of milk!)

Party is Over...

Today is my first official day back to work after my vacation. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be....

Granted although I didn't bring my laptop with me to Hawaii and thus didn't touch a keyboard for 14 days (hell hath frozen over) I did have my iPhone which helped me keep on top of things. So I guess I did work a little while I was away. But this was my office:




Seriously, I took this photo with my iPhone while lying on Waikiki answering emails one day. All I needed was a Maitai. And life? Woulda been perfect!
