Aloha friends!
Nothing new happened this week – got some errands and organizing done. We have a wasp situation at our house – my mom got stung about 3 weeks ago while trying to remove her sweet potato plant in my backyard (they don’t live with me, but we have a big backyard so they like to plant stuff in it lol).
I’ve lived in this house for almost 8 years now and usually summer time means a wasp here and there. No one has ever gotten stung until now. We have mud wasps that build these little mud tunnels around our front door and back door…and if we did have a wasp build a comb – it’s one wasp, on a very small comb. But this year we had a big one wasp comb above our balcony which just got sprayed. But my dad also found they are living near the sweet potato plant in the ground, which he just removed. So I hope they stay away now? But they seem to be flying all over my backyard now – UGH. Can they just please go away? Hopefully they decide to build their comb somewhere else. 🥴 Animals sure do love my house! First it was a huge bird nest under our solar panel and now this…😅.
Today is Father’s Day and I wanted to treat my husband to a buffet brunch but the restaurant was booked up until July 3rd! So that’s when we will celebrate Father’s Day and his very very belated birthday. I hope you guys have a nice time celebrating Father’s Day!

Currently Reading:
Shows/Movies I Watched:
- Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey (Netflix) – every time I hear testimonies about the FLDS it reminds me when it was happening in real time on the news and how disgusted I was with the marrying of very young girls. So glad they can share their experiences but what a toll that community took on people on their lives.
- Hustle (Netflix) – such a good sports movie. It’s a basketball movie and honestly the last time I loved basketball was when I was young because Michael Jordan and the Bulls were so dominant. That was the only time I loved basketball. But this Adam Sandler movie is good, tense, and inspirational!
- Halftime (Netflix) – this came out right after Hustle and I just let it play since I was blogging plus I love J.Lo – her music makes me dance and I wish I had her body! Also I grew up with her when she was a dancer on In Living Color and then she played Selena. She’s come a long way, such an icon!
Games I Played:
- My Singing Monsters
Music I Listened To:
- Stranger Things 4 Soundtrack – so good and nostalgic, reminds me of my childhood.
