Who is Champuru?

Aloha, I'm Donna, known everywhere on the Internet as "Champuru." I'm a Christian, blissfully wedded to my perfect match (the yang to my yin) of 15 years and a stay-at-home mom to my miracle baby, born in October 2008. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from my hometown, seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest. Read more on the About page.

Randomness

I’m so sad. House was bumped by the 2005 Billboard Music Awards tonight. House is the only must-see TV show on my agenda. I guess I’m going to have to watch an episode from the Season One DVD to hold me over until next week. I remember a time when I used to look forward to these awards shows. Boy, that was a loooong time ago. I feel so out of touch and uncool.

Thank you, M, for the 160 GB external hard drive! Feel free to dump your hand-me-downs over here anytime. Woot!!

Today was a good mail day! I received my first Christmas card of the year. Thank you, Ladybug, for the Christmas wishes from Canada!

Also in my mailbox: My sponsored child, 7-year-old Nurul from Indonesia, wrote me a letter. I’ll need to make it a priority to send her a Christmas card and a photo this week.

Would you like a Champuru Christmas card? Send your snail mail address to donna at champuru -dot- net. Don’t be shy. Surprise me and send me one, too. :)

Always the first responder and with the skills to help in emergency situations, Hubby sprang from the comfort of our bed and went outside to check on the victims. My stomach in knots, I parted the vertical blinds to peer outside to find that the accident had happened just down the road from our home. I whispered a prayer for those involved. As Hubby walked down the hill, I saw a police car with its gleaming blue light arriving at the scene. Others from neighboring units also walked outside in their nightclothes to have a look.
