Aloha friends!
Another week is over and here’s what happened:
+ Saw Lady Gaga in concert last weekend – survived Vegas and got back Monday.
+ Went to pick up my son’s school schedule! He goes back to school in less than a week and a half. My daughter goes back the day after he does, so summer is almost over for my kiddos.
+ From Wednesday to Friday, we were basically trapped inside the house! We had to get our house painted according to our home association 🙄 – I mean, they weren’t wrong the paint outside of our house needs a refresher! Since they had ladders all around and I didn’t want to be in the way, me and the kids stayed home. On Friday, they painted two doors that they had to leave open while it dried so UGH…I got a headache from the paint smell. They will finish up this week, two more days I believe.
+ Going to lunch with my friends today!
+ Ever since coming back from Vegas, I haven’t really been in the mood to read! I still read, but I haven’t found anything that is keeping my attention. Not sure if it’s because I was just recovering from my trip or what…a book slump? Maybe. Maybe I’m ready for fall? 😅

What a crazy week! I am so jealous you were able to see Lady Gaga!! She isn’t touring anywhere near me this year, and it is devastating. I LOVE her newest album.
I hope you have a great week! ☺️
No one really comes to Hawaii for concerts these days so I have to fly out to see anyone which is pricey but we made a weekend out of it and it was a nice getaway for me and my hubby. Her show is amazing and I love her album also!
