The Meyer Monkeys: LOLO HEAD

LOLO HEAD

I'm a lolo brain. Just felt like saying that. Okay, this blog is going to be pretty strange because that's how I've been feeling these days. Here's a brief update of my life since I've abandoned my blog (starting with today):

- Scotty made me SUPER proud. He got over his anxiety of swimming without holding onto to me in the pool and now jumps into the water all by himself and can kick and paddle and hold his breath like a big boy! He lasts for a good 3 seconds =).

- I made an attempt at getting insurance so I can finally see a doctor but we'll see how that goes. Apparently I failed to realize that I only had a hospital certificate of Scotty's birth and not the real thing - that will probably delay things even more.

- I haven't been working. Feel like poop. Today I actually had hardly any barf/gag attacks. hehe.

- My baby daddy turned 31 in July. And our guests of honor AUTUMN and KENDALL and ALEMA came to celebrate! Sorry audz for not posting pictures yet. (Brett's probably gonna kill me for showing this picture!haha. Isn't he so babelicious haha. Okay maybe just to me.)

I'll probably think of more things later. Oh! I really need help from those of you who can. I NEED TO LEARN A SIMPLE HULA DANCE BY NEXT MONDAY. I was asked AGAIN to dance for a ward luau, but this time it's in front of single adults 30yrs. and older. LUCKY ME. I feel so UNPREPARED. I don't dance hula very often and so the only song I know is THE HUKILAU. pathetic huh. So all my keiki hula friends HELP A SISTER OUT! Anyone remember the song "Hene Hene Ko Aka" I don't even know if that's the title. I would love you to the moon and back if you could make a little video and post it on your blog so I can rehearse before monday. It can be of any song but I was thinking of that particular song because it kind of is meant for couples. Holla at your girl. =)
