save me
imagine a big nail stuck in your skull...
my job feels like me hitting that nail over and over again with a small mallet just enough to cause pain but not enough to kill.
it would cause too much pain to pull it out, even though i know i'd be better off if it wasn't there, so i just leave it alone and just deal with it.
yeah, i am miserable.
at least i don't have to deal with anything like this tho:

Thursday Aug 14th - random blog
SIGH
so today was just a regular 'ol day... not much to say really.
Chris left to go fishing for three and a half days. I can honestly say I don't like when he leaves. :(
Denah and I went to her school orientation and met all of her new teachers and got her bus schedule. I can't believe the summer has just flown by..... What's crazy is she is actually looking forward to school! I haven't met any kids recently that actually look forward to school, so I find this trait of Denah's to be quite intriguing. She never ceases to amaze me....
I look at my Maui blogs and just yearn to go back. After we left Maui, Chris and I both just felt different. I can't really explain it. I think we both know that there are bigger and better places to see and visit and even possibly live in besides Houston. I mean, yeah, everyone knows this already, but until you actually go somewhere else and see/feel it for yourself, you never really know what you've been missing, know what I mean??? I think California calls for us............ one day.................... one day............................................
until next time........

Maui Day 8
Maui Day 8
Monday July 28th
Our last day.....We didn't have any plans, so we just shopped in Lahaina Town again. We decided to eat at 'No Ka Oi Deli' one last time.
There was a guy on Front St. that hand carves tikis and turtles out of wood. He also hand carves your name in to the wood so it's personalized. That was very cool to watch. And it's in cursive! Here are a few pics of him carving in Denah's turtle and our tiki:
We also relaxed at our hotel and watched the ducks and flamingos there.
We did go back to Whaler's Village again to do a little bit more shopping and to kill some time before we headed back to the airport.
We didn't have too much trouble with Dollar rent a car when we turned our car in and in fact we did end up getting the Westin to agree to pay us for the damage on the rental (albeit after a few phone calls). We should get their check soon hopefully.
Our flight home was long, uncomfortable, and did I mention long?? ;) Yeah, trying to sleep on an airplane is pretty much impossible. Not fun, but well worth it.
--------------------------------------------------------
Overall, our trip to Maui was really fun, adventurous, scenic and just overall awesome. We enjoyed listening to the Hawaiian music while we drove around (93.5 KPOA) and just seeing all the beauty that engulfs you. The people are so nice and laid back. The vibe is so relaxed. We can't wait to go back! We both loved Maui a lot. Next time we feel we definitely have a lot more knowledge of things to do and not to do, so we'll be much better prepared. Hopefully you will get some good info from my blog if you ever decide to vacation in Maui. :)

Maui Day 7
Maui Day 7
Sunday July 27th
Today we went back to our favorite street (Front St.) in Lahaina Town to shop and get some lunch. We ate at a place called 'Cheeseburger in Paradise.' The burgers here were good and a bit messy. The tables were set really close to one another and the prices are on the high side but aren't too bad. We got to sit overlooking the ocean, which was nice. After lunch we did more shopping (yay!).
Later on that evening, we went on a sunset dinner cruise set up through the Pacific Whale Foundation (which you should google too since they are a really great organization). We ended up getting seated in a really great spot right in the front of the boat. We had a great dinner (steak, chicken, etc.) and saw a very beautiful sunset. A few dolphins made an appearance and we also saw some strange long fish thing that skimmed across the water. I don't know if it was a fish or eel or what, but it was weird and something we'd never seen before. And it made a weird noise too. Very strange.
After dinner, we shopped a little again in Lahaina and just spent more time in the pool and jacuzzi. It was cool meeting the other traveler's at our hotel....
