This semester has been unpredictable.  Usually after a week or two, traffic stabilizes but that has not happened!  What’s going on??  I’ve been trying to go to work before 7 and even then, there is so much traffic!  Then when I leave much later – I get stuck in UH traffic.  I heard there’s going to be a new H1 project coming up but luckily it’s at night.  I hope it doesn’t affect traffic in the morning too!  Anyway, just wanted to share a picture of traffic one morning.  I really like rain but we know what happens to traffic when it rains in Hawaii…

I started reading Jalna’s blog a few months ago and just love all her stories and photographs.  She also finds some great deals at the Flea Market, lots to learn from her!  One day, she did a drawing for two beautiful bracelets and a cell phone lariat.  I loved it and put in my name even though I never win anything!  Well guess what??  I was lucky enough to be drawn first!  I was so happy to win these three, thank you so much Jalna!  Check her blog!

I don’t think I take out enough time in the day to be silly.  I watch kids who have no worries and inhibitions and wish I were the same.  I really need to lighten up some days, I wish I could control that.  Wait, doesn’t that defeat what I’m trying to do?  Trying to control being too controlled?  🙂  Anyhow, just wanted to share a quick shot of my youngest brother.  Yes, for those who don’t know me well – I have VERY young brothers.  I love them with all my heart.

Isn’t he the cutest?
