New Day

So I've made it to Hawaii. I started a blog dedicated just to life here on the island. I guess I can go back and forth writing the same thing but that takes away from my beach time...
Every day is a new day. Today is the first FULL day by myself, as my mom had to go back to Texas yesterday afternoon. I called her this morning 6am to make sure she made it safe, which she did. It was close to 11am Texas time and the first thing she asks me is "Why are you up so early?" lol Believe me, I wouldn't be up this early except for the fact that you had to travel 12 hours on a place by yourself and I needed to know you made it safely to the ground before I could go back to sleep. I had to pop two Tylenol PM, and for anybody who knows me, knows I don't do over the counter medicine usually. Well, that was my old life! This is my new life and I take Tylenol PM in Hawaii! =) I'm about to head to the beach. The tropical storm has ruined the last 3 days of beach time here, so It's time I catch up. I really hated that it rained while my mom was here helping me get set up =( She is supposed to return with my dad in November so hopefully the weather will be much better.
I just have to say this about Hawaii... normally I would consider myself a bird hater. I hate birds. I think they are gross and ugly and carry lots of diseases with them. The only birds I see in Texas are disgusting seagulls or mange infested blackbirds. However, in Hawaii, I really like the birds here. They are so pretty and don't hound you! They are so many colors and most of them are pretty small and chirp softly. They just go about their business looking cute as can be. Maybe I'm not a bird hater after all.
