Another Hawaiian Sunset
Today was a perfect beach day. The weather was warm but not too hot, the breeze was gentle and there were just enough clouds to break up the sunshine a little. I like Hawaii best on days where I get to go to the beach. Unfortunately I don’t get them as often as I’d like,…

Hungry Hippos are Hungry– 2012’s first week in Photos
I thought I’d share some of the pictures I took this week since I haven’t written much. The one at the top is of the hippos at the zoo. ^_^

Post-Christmas Clean-up Fail
Sometimes I’m just like the mouse who was given a cookie. I don’t know if it’s something to do with my age, or that I suddenly have a lot of energy for doing things because I’m excited for the new year or what, but I woke up this morning determined to get down as many…

Welcome to 2012
Happy New Year! ^_^ I’m sitting up, waiting for a phone call. I had one earlier, but thanks to time zones, we missed midnight. This isn’t the first time J and I have done two-stage new year’s calls, though, and I doubt it will be the last. The rumble of the fireworks is less intense…

My first whale of the season
And I didn’t get a photo. It came with a big splash, though– literally! I took a couple of my friend’s kids whale spotting and the only thing we saw was a single, full breach with a massive splash afterward. Very cool. The day was gorgeous, though, and I’m surprised we didn’t see more. Tomorrow…

Mystery Tour: Pearl Harbor Holiday Lights
So, this afternoon I fell asleep as my Tar Heels clobbered another basketball team. I think I passed out a little after three, but I’m not entirely certain… At any rate, I woke up at five when my friend called me. We had an entire conversation where she invited me to go somewhere. I agreed–…

Walking Through a Water Wonderland
Saturday I went for a walk at the air force base and used my phone* to photograph what I saw.

Sojourn
sojourn (n.) a brief period of residence; (v.) to live somewhere temporarily I spent November outside of Hawaii. I meant to blog about it as soon as I got back, but life can be a whirlwind (plus I’m still enjoying as much of my on-vacation-laid-back attitude as much as possible) and I haven’t gotten to…

Another North Shore Weekend
Today has been a productive day, which is good as I was at the north shore again all weekend. Granted, it was for a youth retreat which is also productive (in another way), but today I needed to get the car inspected and the oil changed, get the form from the Navy that says we’re…

Year 29
Well, my 29th birthday has come and gone. It’s been a lovely weekend (week, really) of celebrating with friends and enjoying time together. On Wednesday, I was treated to barbeque and macaroni and cornbread (at my request!) for dinner, followed by cupcakes. Friday I had dinner with a couple of friends, then we headed to…
