Awe...THanksgiving in the past now a little Christmas at HOME to look ever so forward to! Had a nice Thanksgiving though with my little friend Kori in tow. Got to have some major beach time, which crazy enough I don't seem to get much of here on Maui (bizarre in deed). Got a little toasty and overdone but grand times all the same. Spent some relaxing days at Kaanapali beach and had my eyes reawakened to all the lovely "sights" here on Maui thanks to my wonderful scenery spotting friend :)

We also did a little house and dog sitting which proved to be....something. Had us some grand luxuries including an ocean view, hot tub, lanai, CABLE TV +, walk-in shower (with a BENCH!!), and of course the company of two adorable dogs. NOW one dog had some hyperactivity issues but alas won my heart in the end. Poor Kori and I didn't get much sleep due to this particular over hyperactive dog who also enjoyed waking up at the incredible hour of 5AM but it twas grand times all the same. AND I got my ole' bi's and tri's back in shape so that was an extra bonus. Nothing like throwing a rubber soccer ball for hours 5 days straight :)

Otter...sweet but deadly....

Also was able to spend Thanksgiving with Kori and some other Maui friends. One of our school workers prepared Thanksgiving dinner for all of us young teachers including ham, turkey (yum!), green bean casserole, vegetables, yams, mashed potatoes, salad, rolls, AND tofu casserole and salmon for yours truly. What a sweetie in deed. We were all very stuffed and pleasenly plump by the end of dinner...so we then decided to burn off some calories by doing a little Thanks Day karaoke in Kathy's living room. Awe angelic sounds were created that evening in deed.

We likey Thanksgiving







After saying good-bye to Kori and THanksgiving leftovers I am back at school and working at the bookstore. I actually work everyday until I leave for home for a little Christmas joy!!! So getting sleepier and sleepier each day and yet getting more and more excited for soon being home with family and friends. Shall be grand in deed. Will be hard to leave afterwards I'm sure but my parentals will soon follow my return for their little February Maui vacation...NOW won't that be a hoot?!! For now I continue to count...only 16 more days!!!!!!
