It's been so hot, and the only A/C we have at home is "window" A/C, and it's not cutting it.  So Kaylee and I did what we do best - Go to the beach!!  Since our car is always beach ready, we're out the door in a jiff.

If you're visiting Oahu, you really need to go to Lanikai Beach. It's jaw-dropping, just absolutely beautiful.  I go often enough, but it always feels like it's my first time to come here.  It's one of the places where I truly appreciate Hawaii.  

Lanikai beach doesn't have parking, so on weekends you have to circle around the neighborhood to look for parking (street/residential), and wish on yellowfeather to get lucky on looking for a spot.  But on weekdays, parking isn't a problem at all.  In addition to parking heaven on weekdays, it's almost going to a private resort. There is not a lot of people at the beach.  Great place to hang loose!

Two weeks passed and my palm trees haven't grown... I decided to find a project to keep my mind from our plants and palm trees in our driveway.  I got this small beat up desk or side table from Craigslist.  I thought maybe it was a bad call to get it, but I already took it home, so I needed to do something with it.

My husband tightened up the wobbly legs before I sanded it. The previous owner of this table put Chinese paper on the top and coated it some massive lacquer (I think), so it took me a while to sand the top.

I lost track of time that I skipped my Saturday morning Zumba, but guess what?! Sanding this table was a major arm work-out!
