I have a feeling you’re gonna have fun clearing away all the clutter and organizing your ducks. Glad to hear you’re moving towards what draws you.

Oddly enough, I’m just as excited to be moving in the opposite direction. Don’t care if I never see another Starbucks or shopping center — ever.

Wow! Kate you kinda described my life waaaayyy back when my kids were small and I was a stay at home mom (minus the internet!). I was in the burbs, but didn’t have the money to go out and hadn’t been there long enough to make friends. Boring doesn’t begin to describe it.

I hope you are successful at selling your house quickly and finding the place you want with a more citified atmosphere.

We’re very likely going to be moving soon – when my husband gets a job, since there are no jobs for him where we are now. When we move, we want to get closer or in a city with more things to do. The burbs are great for kids, but when the kids are gone – they get boring too.

Anyhow, best, best, and more best of luck to you!

Good luck with the house hunt. If you are still going to be on Oahu youre still in paradise as far as this NZer is concerned.

Sounds like you’re near the Punalu’u restaurant. It’s a dump, but I love their spicy shrimp. Re: Tab, the commissary in SD sells it, so you might want to check at the commissaries on the island.

Well Kate if you were looking in the neighborhood of 151st and Blackbob in Olathe you would have Starbucks, Super Walmart, Lowes, movie multiplex, schools, Kohls and all the usual suspects for vittles within two miles. On the other hand it is a bit far to the beach and we have these weather thingies called tornadoes. Steaks are good but BBQ KC style is better but no poo poos. The best of luck to you.

Reflections On Boredom
The venomous one describes a life more boring than mine. I didn’t think that possible. Oh wait, I did. I don’t go out often although there is lots to do when I do. Mostly, I lay in bed and play on my beloved iBook, by choice as I hate pain with a pas…

I’ve been on Oahu 8 or 9 times; the last few I was accused of being kamaaina (a native) so I must’ve been doing something right. I did start to notice the sense of isolation .. when you realize that you’re on a 35-mile-across rock in the middle of the ocean. And people still can’t believe that the worst traffic jam I was *ever* in was on Oahu’s north shore (any accident on a 2-lane road can bottle things up for a lonnnnng time). What does all this mean? I think it means “I feel your pain.”
