Winter Beaches — 2012’s second week in photos
It’s the end of week two of 2012 and I’ve got another week in phone-photos for you. ^_^ The first one (above) is from 1/8/2011 and is the ceiling at the Exchange. The mural is by Wyland, and I realized I’d never taken a photo of it. Now I have.

Thursday Treat: Cupcakes!
Today was a long day, and I decided to treat myself to something sweet at the end of it (and after I’d had supper). Unfortunately, all I had in the house were some box cake mixes that I not only was saving to turn into other things (they make good bases for stuff), but make,…

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. ^_^

Happy Birthday, Mr. Tolkien
Today is J.R.R. Tolkien’s birthday; he’d have been 120 years old. Traditionally, fans raise a glass to him at 9pm their local time and give a simple toast: “The Professor!” I like that it fits so well with the things I love about J.R.R. Tolkien and his work: it’s simple and traditional (old-fashioned, even) but…

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…
