Hawaii 5-Oh MY Word!

I can't believe that I leave for Hawaii today, well, not actually today, but I leave for Houston today and we fly out in the morning at 9Am.

It snuck up on me like satan the serpent snuck up on Eve in the Garden. Suddenly Hawaii is here and I am somewhat apprehensive. 10 days away in a tropical island filled with Yoga classes, back massages, Luau's, babes in grass skirts, volcano tours, helicopter rides, scuba diving, eating festivals, running of the bulls, chicken races, etc... all of this stuff may sound fun but it is going to keep me away from my blessed computer and all of you, my wonderful blog family! How will I cope? How will I survive?

Fortunately, I wil have my Treo 650 and if I have good signal strength then I will have email access 24x7 and so I can blog from the top of Mt. St. Helens or Vesuvius or one of the other volcanos over in Hawaii, yes, that will keep me sane.

I am going to miss all of you though and just because I am gone doesn't mean that you can neglect Posted Note. I plan to post photos during the trip if I can and so check back often, click on my Google Ads, leave me comments, send me gifts by mail, you know, the usual stuff you do for someone that you love so much that it hurts when they are away.

Some last minute blog fodder...

I did go and see Monster-in-Law with my parents last night and it was HILARIOUS - go see it.

I played air hockey with my mom and my dad at the movie theater while we waited for the movie to start. It was a lot of fun, I have the best parents ever, they are more than just parents, they are fun best friends.

When was the last time you played an intense game of air hockey with your parents? Well that's too long.

So, if you find that you miss me while I am gone and I can't update as often as I would like, then please peruse my archives. You can also check out http://theblogpatrol.blogspot.com as it has some entries there as well and I may update it while I am gone.

KT, Jes, Ben, The Wife, Anne Fitten - faithful members of the BP you must make a united front while I am gone and if I happen to get stuck on a deserted island like they do on that show LOST, then I will have to nominate Jes as my replacement as she is the most equipped to replace me. Her skills with template design and updating and her overall blog mastery have been most impressive and her dedication to blogging and the blog lifestyle has been unsurpassed.

Hopefully my next post will be from Hawaii!

I love you all - one big bear hug - Mahalo!

Umm eddie if you end up on a lost island then I am coming to find you. Look for random hatches in the earth and you may see my smiling face though the glass. Or look for me in a plane wrecked in a tree with Virgin Mary dolls full of crack (I'll bring the party with me). Or better yet I may appear as a scary French woman who knows how to use a gun. But alas Eddie if you do go lost at sea never fear because as much as the BP can hunt out bad blogs and make them go good, we are also a cracker jack search and rescue squad with training in all the major areas needed for such a mission. Never fear here come the John Deere riding, mystry writing, cow pie throwing, and office organizing team to your rescue. And we'll bring a satelite antenae so we can blog about the entire ordeal.

I thought I was a guest blogger for you while you were gone? Where are the keys??? Who will water the plants and take care of the dog?

OH. MY. GOSH. Eddo, what a nomination! i couldn't even pretend to replace you. i'd have to quit my job and take web design and coding classes. i'd have to employ roger to design for me. i'd have to learn how to fix a Treo.

the task is daunting...but i love that you nominated me! :)

YOU. MUST. POST. ENTRIES. AND. PICTURES. FROM. HAWAI'I.

IT. IS. NECESSARY. FOR. THE. CONTINUATION. OF. LIFE. AS. WE. KNOW. IT.

oh, eddo. you're hanging on the beach and oogling bikini-clad women, and we're sitting behind our desks, trying to figure out how to hack into your website to change the theme to something hawaiian. I mean, we're wishing we could be where you are...on a beach, in the sun, surfing the waves, touring the pineapple factories.

you better come back with a tan face and white eyes. clarification: from the sunglasses.

i hope you're enjoying yourself! :)
