Tuesday Tune

Happy Tuesday!  I've rounded up some new favorites of mine - I'm not sure how they've slipped through the cracks but I recently heard them and want to share with you.


"...this is the beginning of your day, life is more intricate than it seems, always be yourself along the way, living through the spirit of your dreams..."





"...and I never knew before but I feel like a child in a cold, cold war, so strong, so tough, sitting in suburbia, waiting for the wind up, and I don't want to dance... I just want to jump from the prison of circumstance..."

Tuesday Tune

For the couple days we had a car in Hawaii this song kept popping up on the local radio station (Island 98.5, my favorite!).  The second song is one that's been on repeat lately, very upbeat.  Have a great Tuesday (is it too early to countdown to the weekend?)!

Hana Hou!

Hello, friends!  J and I had such an awesome and relaxing vacation on Oahu and have had an extra treat of a whole weekend at home to regroup (you know how it is after a vacation - all of a sudden you have things to do!).  

The Hawaiian phrase hana hou roughly translates to do it again or encore and on this Monday as my body sits in my cubicle at work, my mind is still on the island... so, friends, let us travel back to Hawaii - can you feel the steady breeze, warm sun, richly humid air?  I am transported back in an instant!

For ten days we hardly did anything but relax, sunbathe, swim, eat, read, people-watch, and nap on the world famous Waikiki beach.  We did, however, see Pearl Harbour and rent a Jeep (awesome!) for two days to drive around the island.  I was able to show J the UH campus, Pali lookout, and my other favorite beaches around the island, among other beautiful sights.  

I'll be sharing more photos throughout the week - no harm in extending that holiday feeling for as long as possible!  It is just what we needed!

Aloha & Tuesday Tune

Friends, J and I are on a plane right now (or maybe we are on the beach?) heading for Oahu, Hawaii for a glorious 10 days!  So, aloha!  And see you all on the 14th!

And I have to leave you with a sweet song (somewhat cliche I suppose) from the islands:
