silence is golden, but so is snot

Isn't that a disgusting title?  Ok, snot's not (s'not?) exactly golden in color but you get the idea.  So, yeah I'm home sick (lost my voice and developed a co-dependent relationship with the box of Kleenex) and now I'm stuck hanging out with Rachel Ray and Kathie Lee and Hoda.  Which might make me feel worse, come to think about it...  Anyhoo, the extra time off of work gives me a chance to catch up on everything I've been putting off  liiiiiike...posting some fantabulous Hawaii pictures!

Scot took me to Waikiki as a surprise for my birthday this year- I did not realize where we were going til we got to the gate in our connecting city of Salt Lake.  He's devilishly good at keeping secrets!  We spent a week hanging at the beach, driving all over the island of O'ahu in our convertible, and indulging in water activities and culture.  It was an amazing trip and I highly recommend going, only make sure you budget twice what you normally would for food.  Everything was so expensive, holy crap rarely did we eat anywhere that didn't fall between $15-$20 a person, before drinks.  I've posted a few of my favorite pictures below-

Hawaii has the absolute BEST sunsets!!!

(Okay the people on The Today Show just started talking about Octomom.  If I don't get well soon I might go out back and drown myself in the pool.)

Oh, and I'm supposed to run the Turkey 5K in 2 days, and cook Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night.  If I'm still alive after that, I've got another update on deck.  Stay tuned.
