Runner up for the most boring post EVER

I’ve been sitting here all day staring at a blank computer screen.  I want to write but the words just don’t come to me.  I had the same problem lastnight when trying to come up with a post for my other blog.  Eventually I forced myself to just start writing and it came together.  Perhaps taking a week off from really blogging made me lazy.

Here it is Tuesday and I’m still trying to get myself back into gear.  I have had a hard time getting to sleep the last couple of nights and then struggling to get out of bed in the morning.  Apparently my body adjusted to the time change in Hawaii a little too well and now it doesn’t want to revert to the normal routine.

I think I may be dealing with a little bit of depression because of having to leave beautiful, warm Hawaii and return to cold, dreary, snowy KC.  I can’t even bring myself to write a vacation recap which I will probably regret later.  This blog does serve as the keeper of my memories these days since my brain can’t seem to keep up.  I could post pictures, but you’ve all seen them over on Flickr right?

I’ve been thinking about making a few changes to the blog in the near future.  If I can find the time (and courage) I think I’m going to switch it over to WordPress.  Along with the switch I may decide to change the design up a bit.  I don’t feel like this blog is going anywhere lately.  Even though it shouldn’t matter, I think I actually have less readers now than ever before and that is kind of disappointing.  I’m guessing it is because I am censoring myself more than I used to.  I’m more cautious about what I write because I have realized that I can’t keep this site hidden forever and eventually someone will read it that I didn’t expect to.  I either need to get a more interesting life or find a more interesting way to write about my life because I am even bored with it right now.

Before I start messing around with my blog though, I need to finish up a couple of other projects that I have halfway started.  I think I need another vacation so I can work on those.  Sometimes I miss the days when I could sit with my computer for hours on end until I actually finished the project I was working on.  I’ve gotten really bad about promising designs or blog help to people and then not following through due to lack of time.  The sad part is that I have no idea where my time goes.

Back to the Snow

hawaii06 507

Well, we’re back and it is freakin’ cold here.  Our wonderful vacation is over and now we’re trying to get back to our normal routines.  We got back to KC around 11:30 Saturday morning and have spent most of the time between then and now sleeping.  Zach fell asleep around 4:00 Saturday afternoon and slept until I woke him up at Noon on Sunday.  That’s 20 hours of sleeping without waking up!  I kept checking to make sure he was okay, but he apparently just needed to catch up.

I have tons to catch up on both at work and at home and all I really want to do is crawl back in bed.  I glanced at my feed reader briefly, then clicked on “mark all as read” because the number of posts was overwhelming.  So, if anything exciting happened with anybody over the last week, feel free to tell me about it in a comment or e-mail.

Can we have another week please?

This is the view from the balcony of the hotel Hubby and I stayed at lastnight. Zach stayed with his Granny and Papa and let us have a night to ourselves.

We head home tomorrow and I’m a little bummed out about that. We’ve really enjoyed our time here and are definitely not ready to go home to the cold.

Aloha!

hawaii06 031We arrived in Hawaii lastnight about 40 minutes ahead of our scheduled arrival time.  We were exhausted after the long flight but Zach did amazingly well on the plane.  He didn’t fuss the entire time and actually slept for much of the second flight which was nice.

Today we spent the day driving around the island sight-seeing and taking lots of pictures.  This place is just beautiful.  I only wish I could capture in the photos what I’m actually seeing with my eyes.

I’ll be updating my Flickr page all week long so make sure and check back for updates.  I’ll try to write when I have a chance but I’m not promising anything.

An update and a question

It seems like this week cannot possibly go by any slower.  Usually I’m wanting time to slow down, but this week I just want it to speed up already!  I suppose the last few short work weeks probably perpetuated the feeling a bit but it just seems like the week is going on and on and on.  I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I leave for Hawaii on Saturday.  Nothing at all.

I have my suitcase partially packed.  All of my clothes (and Zach’s) are packed with the exception of a few last minute things that had to be washed.  Zach’s backpack full of toys, snacks, blanket, pillow, and other distractions is almost ready.  I just have to figure out whether to pack the dvd player in his bag or mine.  I need to make myself a checklist of all of the various electronic devices and chargers we need so I don’t forget anything important.

I’m really slugging along at work today.  Other people keep distracting me (which isn’t hard to do) and I’ve gotten nothing done.

My lovely cold–that I totally thought was clearing up–is back with a vengeance.  It started yesterday afternoon and has gotten worse since then.  It seems to be clouding my brain quite a bit today and keeping me from being able to think very much.  I have a feeling that the people sitting around us on the 6 1/2 hour flight from Vegas to Hawaii will love me.

So, for lack of having anything intelligent to actually say today, I’m going to ask a question.  We’re going to Hawaii and I know there are some really cool things to see there, I just don’t know what.  I know we’re planning to go to Pearl Harbor and on a whale watching cruise or something but that’s about it.  We’re going to be staying in Honolulu and probably won’t travel to the other islands unless we suddenly become rich.  So, where should we go and what should we do?
