I’ve been out reading blogs this morning, and of course I hit a group of my favorites, that I’m dubbing very uncreatively The Hawaii Bloggers. The Hawaii bloggers are having a get together in their tropical paradise this Saturday, and I am completely envious! (Happy they are all getting together, but wishin’ I was gonna be part of it!) A few of the Hawaii bloggers have posted about it in their latest posts, and it has me aching to be near the ocean!

If you would like to read some about their upcoming get together, and about life in general in Hawaii, here are the blogs to check out today! Bitchatude wrote a very revealing post about living in Hawaii. An inside look at life in paradise, not from a tourist stand point, but that of a resident of this very beautiful and unique state! I recommend reading her post, that is down one from her latest!

Next on the list is Tutu who writes about the get together coming up as well! Another added bonus, Tutu got a BEAUTIFUL new template design, with the ocean as landscape. And no amount of written description could do it justice, you need to see it. The design is one by the talented Tech Wench with West Designs. Wench also happens to be Tutus daughter. (This is a family full of talent and creativity!)

DB at Corporate Crap and other Dubious Wisdom writes encouraging a couple of newly engaged bloggers to take their honeymoon in Hawaii. Going as far as listing some good deals to get there! Making me wish even more I could be on a plane headed for the tropics!
The list of other bloggers that get to partake in the Blogger get together are possibly Kaos and his family. (One of Tutu’s sons)Wired another of Tutu’s daughters. And three of our Jr. Bloggers, Kamalani Tutu’s grand daughter, Dakota at Dragon Rage who is Bitchatude’s son and DB’s step son. Also attending is Missy A local girl and one more Hawaii blogger, who will be moving back to the mainland soon is Becky at April Fool

And yes I’m jealous of each and everyone one of them! All this talk of Hawaii, has me craving to see the ocean! Which in a week or so, I will see, but not in the tropical paradise setting of Hawaii. Kevin and I are taking the rugrats to San Diego for the week, to do the whole Zoo/Wild Life park and Marine World experience, logging more then a few play hours on the beach with the kids as well! We are excited, as we haven’t been to most of the parks there, and haven’t seen the ocean in over a year! (No ocean near the Arizona desert!)

As I was dwelling on my love of the ocean, I remembered a poem I wrote in High School (freshman year) about the ocean. In my 100 things, I talk about writing shit loads of poems, all of which stunk! I’m sure this one was no exception, although when my High School decided to put together a book of poems to sell (as a fundraiser) they included this one in it. And since it’s my blog, I’m posting it! Putting it in the drop down of this post, making it easier for you to avoid it, if you so choose! (I’m soooo fooking polite!) So here goes....
