Aloha Ladies!

I am new here and I thought I would check out your board.

I am a 52 year old Hawaiian chick who lives in Southern California. I have been married to Willyyyuuum (he is a cpa) for 19 years. Neither one of us has kids. But we do have two fur babies they are Yorkies(Lea & Nahui).

Let me see... I have been retired now for 20 years. I have adopted my neighbors across the street and just became a Grandma to a little girl. She is adorable.

I love to talk, throw parties and laugh alot. I hate to cook so I have a sign over my stove which reads... when the smoke alarm goes off dinner is ready.In my spare time which is 24/7 I love to travel the south pacific islands. I do write but never had a book published ha ha ha.... I design pillows which I use every thing imaginable on them. I tried once to paint a mural in my upstairs gym which came out? I swim every day, jet ski at the colorado river 3 times a year or more depends whats up with my body. I walk, and rollerblade <-ha ha ha. (if I am not falling on my but).

I have had Lupus now for huuummmm... lost count of the years... Lupus is a autoimmune disease(opposite of AIDs) for which I hope they find a cure soon before they run out of removable damaged organs to take out of my body! ha ha ha... I got to laugh because I would have never believe I could get such a weird disease which attacks the inner workings of my body... weird... Right now I am in remission and in perfect health and like I said I do swim every day with Nahui (my little doggie from hell ha ha)in my hot spa out back which keeps me from being a huge pillsbury doughgirl. Right now I am an medium pillsbury doughgirl... ha ha ha... It has gotten harder in my 50's to keep the weight off and keep in shape.

Let me see... oh yeah.... five years ago I had a complete hysterictomy which of course turned me into the wife from hell... ha ha ha... Funny girls I went from an Island Princess in my husbands eyes to the wife from hell with a negative personality. Well that stage really only lasted until they got me squared away on the hormones & prozac for a few years. It's weird now I went off the hormones and my hot flashes subsided. I know that is not possible but it's true. I felt worst on Estrogen then off Estrogen. And I think the negative personality change has been curbed with prozac maybe... I do have my days girls....

Mentally I am nuts and I love to laugh... I am an adult A.D.D.er and plus I am dyslexic on top of that. You will notice my dyslexia the more I write...trust me....ha ha ha... Personally I think I have conquered both of these mental problems with professional help of course.... ha ha ha.... yeah right! ha ha ha... Well that about covers me... if ya want more info on me go here....

Welcome Leilani, I think you have joined about all you have to do is post. I remember seeing your website before too. I know that God hasn't given you more than you can handle because you have a great attitude.

Most of us have medical problems some worse than others. That is why it would be nice to be born old and worn and get younger and better as time went by....lol....No, I would just rather act childish than to be a child again. There were no home computers then. Do come back and visit us often.

Aloha BB! Now that I am well I think I am going pull up my hammock and rest a while if you girls don't mine? ha ha ha... I was in and out of the hospital a lot and I think the serious drugs they gave me did some thing to my memory. It's either that or I am getting senile.... ha ha ha

Mahalo for letting me stay!

Aloha,

Leilani

Aloha Francine,

I love your web page. What a happy family you have. I thought after I answer these responses I will go back and check every bodies web page out. I think I could write until I am blue in the face and ya still won't know who I am but with my web page you get a pretty good idea where I am coming from.

Mahalo for the welcome back!

Aloha,

Leilani
