SAVE ME!!! I HAVE TURNED INTO A SHOPPING FREAK

I have an american ip address.  Do you know what that means?  I can vote on American Idol.  I can watch all manner of tv…all of it, not just what the CRTC decides I can watch.  I get awesome movies and tv on Netflix.  And….I can get stuff shipped to our Hawaii address!  All those awesome fat lady sites…endless wonderful stuff that is simply not available in Canada.  And because the Americans think they are the fattest people on the earth (I think it is actually Canadians but don't tell the Americans that) the sites' sizes go up high enough for me to be able to buy stuff.  And buy stuff I have.

I have already received three parcels, although not clothes.  One box was gasper stuff (CPAP), and two more were awesome pictures from Redbubble.  And I truly will have nowhere to hang them, but I love them.  Now I am waiting on three more packages.  One of them has two dusters and a pull over apron.  Really?  And another one has three identical blouses, just different colours.  And the last one has….I forget.  I must stop.  I must not go on Amazon.  Its just so tempting.

Yesterday we went to the pool for a long time and blissfully floated around.  Then we went into Lahaina to the Outlet Malls…(Cookie:  the mall is all around and part of Hilo Hatties)  It was seriously a disappointment.  The Sketchers store had already closed down.  There were still a lot of stores but not any I would be interested in.  We went down Front street, stopped along the way and eventually made our way home.  We went for an evening swim…it was heavenly!

Today we headed up the mountain.  We had so much fun.  We took along a pringles can and watched the increasing pressure as we climbed bulge out the paper seal across the top of it.  We do this  every time.  It wasn't overly cold up there or windy but truly beautiful.  I shall put some pics here.  We stopped at Colleen's for fish and chips on the way home, truly delicious as always.  We spent the evening watching Amazing Race and Good Wife and now its bedtime.  Hana tomorrow. Because I can't post in the morning I will put this weeks challenge here.

Find your 'purpose' and live it every day.  Define your strengths, passion and what matters to you.  Sit down and write a mission statement..short term (daily) and long term and live it, every day.  Hmmm..not bad if your kind of lost.  Or do this and realize you already ARE living with purpose!  TTYL
