Results
Hawaii’s primary election was held yesterday and I found the results to be quite interesting.
Senator Ron Menor won’t be back in the State Senate next year. I was surprised, but not surprised by that result. I mean Menor was arrested earlier this year for drunk driving and I think he would have been okay, except that instead of keeping his mouth shut and apologizing for his behavior, he had to make some cockamanie statement that he was driving eradically because of a foot injury and because he was only wearing 1 contact lens. That was such a stupid thing to say.
Josh Green also beat out his rival and will be joining the State Senate next year. I wonder how this is going to effect commitee assignments next session. Green is currently the chair of the House health committee and is also a physician. The current Senate health chair is David Ige and he’s an engineer by trade.
The Honolulu Mayor’s race is also heading to a runoff. I was disappointed that Panos Prevedourous didn’t do better. The guy reminded me of the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
I really hadn’t done much this past week. I was just so tired this week, most nights I would come home, relax a little and then pass out for 5 or 6 hours. Of course those really long “naps” completely messed up my sleep schedule.
I also never made it to the gym this week, but I did break out my Turbo Jam DVD’s instead. Oooh yea. I had forgotten how much fun they are! I did the 20 minute workout on Wednesday and then decided to just go for it and did Cardio Party Mix 2 on Thursday. I was surprised I could make it through the whole thing! Yay! Okay, I was pretty tired by the end, but I did it! I just did Cardio Party 1 tonight. I still don’t know why some people gave CP1 some bad reviews. I think it’s a great workout. Maybe it’s because it’s not as advanced as the other cardio parties?
I am also anxiously awaiting my Iron Core DVD’s from Amazon. I picked up a kettlebell several months ago, but since I am not sure how to actually use it, it’s been sitting on my floor waiting to be utilized for more than a couple of swings.
I am not sure what I am going to do Sunday. I guess I should clean my house or something. It’s a mess!
