After doing the mandatory house chores for the weekend (laundry and cleaning bathrooms), we decided to try the new Yogurtland by UH. We chose our yogurt flavors (I think I ended up with about 5 different ones - tart, cheesecake, taro, etc.) from the dispensers, and then topped it with a variety of toppings (Chris' bowl looked like a splash of rainbow treats from Farrell's, with gummy bears, sprinkles, and other sweet things on top). I kept it simple and just sprinkled graham cracker crumbs and fresh blueberries on mine. We ran into friends, Linh and Alan and Jordan, joining them at their table to enjoy our afternoon dessert treat. For about 40 cents an ounce, it wasn't bad. I like how you can choose your own goodies. But I think I'm still a Yami Yogurt fan.
We ran a bunch of errands afterwards, then took a long windy road trip up Tantalus, to put Chase to sleep and to take in some city views from the picturesque lookouts. We met the Halsalls for Sunday dinner at Big City Diner. Chase made our server Sarah laugh with his "Incredible Hulk" impression. He surprised us with his love for brown rice, eating nearly an entire scoop all on his own, before he started decorating the floor with food.
Met high school friend David for, my third dessert of the day, ice cream at Bubbies. We talked about things to do in Thailand for his upcoming trip, Chase, his wedding details, and caught up on friends. He was only here for a long weekend before heading back to California.
After my sweet tooth today, it's no wonder the dentist found a small cavity on Friday. Better brush and flouride rinse good tonight.
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
