pet peeve:

when i'm in the library and someone has music playing so loud on their headphones that i can hear it five seats away.

seriously? turn your freakin music down. i'm trying to focus.

a "wintry" afternoon!

this afternoon when i came home, i got such a treat-

it was cold enough for me to wear a sweatshirt!

granted, i'm still in shorts, but hawaii very rarely gives me a chance to wear a sweatshirt without overheating.

so i'm very grateful.

this afternoon it's gloomy, cloudy, windy, and rainy.

AND the waves are rollin in like crazy.

so i took the opportunity to enjoy the wintry-feeling afternoon.

i made myself some mashed potatoes and minestrone soup, turned the big chair towards the balcony, and sat watching the ocean and the gray sky.

the big chair, my soup, my view.

brrr!

we know it's a long shot. but we're still crossin our fingers

for some fluffy white stuff on our palm trees. :)

...did i mention it's 70 degrees right now? shucks.

just because everything's changing doesn't mean it's never been this way before...

okay so i gotta catch up a little bit. a couple saturdays ago a group of us did this hike called stairway to heaven. it was pretty cool. it was really steep, and i would have been much happier if it wasn't so foggy at the top. we couldn't see a thing! oh well, on the way back down i got some good shots.

oh, and did i mention there are 3,992 stairs?

another day, i found myself alone in the back of my friend's truck with my camera.. so i decided to take a few shots of what an everyday laie drive looks like.
