This is one of my favorite photos from our trip to Hawaii. I can still remember that morning. I awoke before the sun and was lucky enough to witness the incredible color show the sky became. I'm still in awe of what I felt that morning. To feel so lucky and yet so small and powerless. Maui was truly a DREAM.
Mosquito Magnet, anyone?

We're considering getting one of these, but they are so freakin' expensive. Does anyone have any experience or comments regarding these things. Mosquitos are especially bad this year.

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and
make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it!
