I Have Been Meaning To Blog……….
I have been meaning to blog - really I have, but obviously never got around to it. Not much has been going on, yet there are a lot of things happening. Oooh cryptic. Buahahahahahahahha.
The big happening right now is that I am going back to work on Tuesday. Eeek! I swear, I still don’t know if I am doing the right thing or not. I haven’t even started but there is already a ton of drama going on at the office. First of all, I am supposed to be full time, but the boss feels guilty about letting someone go - who she really needs to get rid of, so I am going to be working 30 hours a week instead of 40. The person she should let go, but won’t will be working 10 hours a week. The good thing about that is that I will be getting full benefits and since my hours won’t be as long, I will be able to either go to the gym after work before it gets too crowded or go to the beach! Yay! The sucky thing is that she is letting the person who she won’t fire keep her parking space, so I will not have a parking space. Dangit. Well, I suppose it will be even more motivation for me to get a bike and ride that to work since it really isn’t that far. I just hate that I live on a hill sometimes.
I guess I could also take the Bus to work, but again, I live on a hill and well, it is really a major pain the ass walking up the hill to get to my house. I suppose I could also look at it as a way to really get my butt in shape too.
Other than that, I have been going to the beach - a lot! Wooot! I haven’t been swimming as much as I did last year though. I mostly just chillax in the water - which is freaking awesome since it’s been getting hotter and more humid around here. Sunday was really bad, I would literally be sweating just sitting in my living room. Ugggh, gross. I really wanted to go to the beach, but there was an influx of jellyfish this weekend, so that was a no go. I guess I could have used the pool at the gym, but the only one with a pool is way out in Mililani and I really didn’t want to use the gas to go there. I am starting to get super tan again though. I think I am going to switch to SPF 70 since I am still getting pretty dark just using SPF 50! Eek!
Oh I guess it’s time for a photo dump!

I like to amuse myself in the water by doing my “Vortex of Doom.” Yea, it’s just me spinning in a circle in the water. I am so easily amused.
Here’s a POV from me swimming in the water.
This is a few months old, but I took it the last time I went to Hanauma Bay. My buddy and I were just hanging out at a picnic table and saw these mongeese diving into the trash can to get some food. I think I saw 4 or 5 mongeese that day. A mongoose kind of looks like a ferret. The funny thing is the mongoose is not native to Hawaii. They were introduced here over a century ago to control the growing rat population back then. However, whoever it was that decided to bring them here forgot that mongeese are diurnal and well, the rats are nocturnal. That turned out well.
Here’s a video of a mongoose going into the trash can.
This is a really bad shot of the SuperFerry taken from the top of Hanauma Bay. You can barely make it out in the background there.
No photo dump would be complete without a couple of pictures of my cat Rayne!
