Cockadoodle-POO!!

I love Hawaii

I love so many things about it.

If I were to make a pro and con list the list would be ridiculously disproportionate

(Ten Million Pros Vs. A handful of cons)

Cons like huge cockroaches everywhere or stores/businesses arbitrarily being closed when you go there because its "aloha friday" and that means people don't want to work [shocker].These are things that I have been absolutely amenable to dealing with and just accepting and often loving because that is island life. I dont get mad when my chips go all soggy after being open for 10 minutes because of the humidity, I find the silver lining which is that you know now i wont accidentally hurt my mouth on a jagged chip corner.

BUT THERE IS ONE THING I AM STRUGGLING TO ACCEPT.

Roosters.

and all their stupid cockadoodle-dooing

it's ridiculous.

It's been 17 months of living here and I still hate the Roosters.

Maybe one day when Im an old lady in some weird nostalgic way I'll miss that shrill raucous sound. But for right now I really do hate it.

THEY are the reason I am up at 2:35 am BLOGGING!!

THEY start with that unrelenting noise before its even close to dawn.

Honestly I think the biological clock is all wacked out with these hawaiian chickens. Because they start right out side my window at about 2:00 am and just keep at it all night.

I HATE Roosters.

This really is the ramblings of a bitter bear. I really should focus on the fact that at this moment In between each rooster-schreech I can hear the palm trees and the ocean. I am so lucky and so blessed.

But seriously I'm like one more night away from getting a paintball gun and doing work on these chickens. I'm just saying....

Now I am going to put in some headphones and head back to dreamland

I'll do a big halloween post later BUT....

right now im just super super stoked about tarp surfing! If you dont know that that is watch this

I "helped out" my friend Devin Today who is making a little motion picture all about tarp surfing and how it is the sweetest way to get barreled without actually being in the water. You take a big blue tarp make it into a wave and skate/shred through it. It was seriously so FUN. I skated for like a good 2.5/3 hours tonight hahah on a tarp!?!. LOVED IT. I'm a big fan. Honestly it can never beat real surfing but it's up there.

SO RAD!

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was my favorite Kitty's 36th Birthday. But she never gets older than a 3rd grader. She is everything happy and adorable and kawaii

I love you Hello Kitty hope you had the happiest brithday!

Hello Pumkin

Laie Temple Open House

On Thursday I went with my DARLING little friend Michelle >

I just loved going to the temple. There is no place in the world that can make your heart feel like the temple does. And I feel so overwhelming blessed to have one so close. Its a little piece of Heaven that I get to see everyday! Its is so beautiful and I can't wait for it to open and I can go do baptisms. I know the influence of the temple is like nothing else. Its so special. I hope everyone gets a chance to go to the open house.
