Shaking

Well the other day Hawaii had an earthquake. I was sitting on the lounge chair and I started shaking. First I thought it was Sam leaning against the edge of the chair having a scratch, but I look down and NO it isn't him. So then naturally my next thought is that it was of the people upstairs stomping around making me shake... yes I'm blonde. As if the people upstairs could make me shake with like 8 feet between us. *rolls eyes* So then I thought "It's all in my head", like I imagined shaking. It was such a gently shake. So 10 - 15 minutes went by and a news alert thingy started scrolling along the bottom of the TV saying that there was an earthquake.

The last time there was an earthquake in Hawaii that I can remember was a few years ago and the power went out for 10+ hours. Some places it was out for over 24hours. So I'm assuming that is why I didn't think it was an earthquake because of the no power outage. I seriously thought I was going insane until the news alert came up. I found it highly amusing a couple of days later when I was talking to my mum about it. We were both cracking up with the face that I thought the people upstairs were making me shake... So stupid!

SO EXCITED

My mother has decided to come spend Xmas with me!!! WOOHOO I won't be alone! I'm really excited to see her and I think she'll enjoy spending christmas in a not as hot location as she would've originally. We are also discussing my flying back to Sydney with her the day she departs so we can fly together and not have to do that alone. I mean 10 hours is a long time to be on a plane, especially alone... or is it 11?! I would then return to Hawaii a couple weeks later. I think it sounds like a great idea considering I haven't been home in over 4 years. It would be nice to see the rest of my family and take thousands of pictures!

Xmas

Holy Crap its almost Christmas!!!

For the second time in my 7 year marriage I am going to be alone for chrissy. How depressing is that?!

The first time was 3 years ago because my husband had just deployed to Iraq right after Thanksgiving, and now again this year. I hate being alone for xmas... I'm not even a real big fan of xmas but I do think it is a day where you should be around people; its a day that you just shouldn't be alone.

Anyhow... my dad called yesterday to inform me that my mother is talking about coming to visit me for christmas... which would be AWESOME! It would be so nice to not be alone for xmas, to be able to spend it with family, even if it is only one family member. So I am hoping that she'll come but I will understand if she doesn't. If she does come hopefully she will bring one of my brothers with her. It would be so nice to spend some time with them, either one.

I wonder if I should put up a tree?...
