What's there to complain about?

Hello! Yes, I am in the wonderful paradise of O'ahu or A.K.A. my new home. I landed yesterday at 12:45 PM after 12 hours of traveling. My flight from Houston was 8 hours long! I made it through, although I thought I would toss my cookies at the end when we were landing. Now lets get down to buisness and talk about how...for a lack of a better word...stupid I am. Although, I have to say no one tried to talk me out of out and so I choose to (since this is my blog..LOL) not take full responsibility for my stupidity. With all the changes going on in the airline buisness, you can only check in one bag. Thats fine, I'll pay the 25 bucks for my second bag. I can't downsize that much! But, I didn't really want to pay the 50 dollars for any of the bags weighing over 50 pounds. Sooo...in my grand scheme of trying to be frugal, I thought...hmmm...I just won't take ALL my hair products and I'll just buy them new when I get to Hawaii. WHY oh WHY did no one tell me that was dumb?

Yesterday, after landing, all I wanted to do was take a shower. We stopped at Safeway so I could by the essentials (we all know that a grocery store is more expensive to buy hair stuff than at a regular store like my beloved Wal-Mart). I bought 4 things...4 THINGS! It costed me $37.00. That wasn't what was dumb...I'm still getting to that. We leave Safeway and I think. Why did I not bring my hair stuff and just pay the $50.00 because I only have half of my hair weapons and I've already spend $37.00! What was I thinking!?!?

On the lighter and better sides of things. Andy introduced me to the best pizza. It's thin crust, which I love thin crust...but better than that, it looks like "T.V. Pizza". You know the pizza that is big and gooey and looks yummy. That's what I had for dinner last night and just happen to have for breakfast this morning =).

One more thought. The saying goes "home is where the heart is". I have to say I feel very torn about that saying. While I'm very happy to be here with Andy, I'm so sad that I'm not in Kansas with my family and friends. My heart is there too. So I guess your "home" can be in many places. I miss you guys already!
