The Lion King!!

When Brandon's family came to visit this last week they took us to The Lion King in Honolulu!!! I did not even know they had broadway shows that came here, but they DO!! I was so excited for weeks before!! It was amazing!! I thought it was going to be people dressed up in animals suits...boy was I off!! the costumes were amazing, people walking on stilts on both hands and fet!! the animals looked amazing. Thanks again mom and dad Frandsen for taking us, it is the coolest thing we have done in a long time, except for getting married.....

The winds of change are blowing...

as most of you know I work with a six year old girl with special needs at school.... I have ben doing this job since last december, almost a year now!! It i s a good job because it is 5 minutes away, and I am home by 2:30. Unfortunately, I was notified about a month ago that they will be switching schools shortly, not just in the next town... but all the way in Honolulu. Since there is no way I am willing to commute that far again, I started looking for a new job....I actually found two opportunities, one was a case manager position with DOH. The other was a family support worker for the Healthy start program here on the North Shore. I went with the position closer to home which is working for the healthy start program!! Basically I go and teach parenting skills to at risk families... I am pretty stoked about the opportunity to learn something new! I start the Monday affter Thanksgiving!!!

Boo!!!

Ok, so perhaps I am a little late on the Halloween post. My friend Alysha had this great Idea that we should go all together as the the flinstones.... but Brandon refused to wear a "dress" so then we tried to get them to wear togas.... and that was a no go also, even ater we bought the stuff for them.... Brandon wanted to be something and I qoute "manly and scary" so last minute (literally 15 minutes before the party) brandon wrapped himself in toilet paper, and called himself a mummy, but it kept ripping, and then it started to rain... so he covered it in saran wrap... needless to say he ripped the thing off like 15 minutes later becuase he was roasting in it... oh well! it was a fun night, we went to a little party and then watched a scary movie with some friends....

TAGGED...

ok, so it took me a while to notice my name on Jessica's blog, and then I got super busy for the first time in my life.... So here I go... A few random things about myself...

1.I have meal ordering anxiety- Going out to eat is a bittersweet experience for me. I always panic when it comes time to order, because at that moment it is the most important decision I will ever make. i will regret it for the rest of th day, and it will ruin my mood and leave me grumpy and unsatisfied. I have tried everything to rid me this condition, I have tried sharing with Brandon, but he ats everything, just leaving m hungry. I have tried asking the server, but what to do they know? they don't host a show on the food network, they are just servers....I have even been known to hunt down the server in the kitchen to change my mind.... it is that bad....


2. I am a "Honu Gaurdian" -Honu is Hawaiian for Turtle. It started the first time Brandon took me to Laniakea Beach to see the Turtles... It was love at first sight...They are so big (see picture atop of blog) and cute! So, the turtles come out on the shore to bask in the sun, and when they do this sometimes the tourists go crazy and do nutty things... so they have people who put ropes around them and just chill on the beach and educate tourists about them etc. it is pretty much the best volunteer gig EVER! I am hoping to really get into it soon!


3.Hi, my name is Ashley Frandsen, and I am a candy addict.- I should start a support group or something becuase it is a serious problem. I love candy, but I am very particular about my candy, I like the kinds that most people hate. I only like certian kinds, and certian combinations... let me explain... I love the fun dip, chocolate covered gummi bears, chocolate covered cookie dough, razzles, peeps.... I LOVE gummi bears, but only the green and clear ones, and I have to eat one clear and one green at the same time, or it is a no go.


4. I had over $90 dollars in rental late fees for the movie "SELENA" - I believe it was my ninth grade year... I rented Selena, I was an immediete fan.... I laughed, I cried... I refused to take it back... I watched it over and over... I watched it alone, I watched it with friends, and I cried at the end everytime.. (don't act like you did not). Then, as much as I loved it, I totally forgot it, and like over a month later, I shamefully returned it to Hollywood videos... I know what you are thinking... Selena?!?! hey, it tugs on the heartstrings...


5.Raw meat= Death - I hate touching meat... it is pretty much the most disgusting thing ever.... but ground beef takes the cake. The problem is, I LOVE hamburgers, this puts me in quite a pickle... So what I do, and it has been working out quite nicely, is I do everything else, but I make Brandon do the patty process, as I am unable to touch the patty until it is well- done.


ok, so that is all I could think of.... not as funny as some of the others I read... I have been busy get of my back... ok, so I am going to tag: Tiffani, Kristen, Maggie, Tracy and Cheme
