I wish I had a such a long list for coping with the Navy, but these all sound pretty good, though I did notice that “getting a tattoo of a boy riding a corn rocket so that I can get free lunch at an awesome taqueria in SF” didn’t make the list.

Melia, I can only imagine the wonderful things that machine can do. $300 is much more reasonable when divided by 4.

Aw, thanks, ladies. Melia, it is does feel really good to get back to the things that make me happy. It’s been a tumultuous couple of years, but I like to think I can rally and adapt to new situations faster than I could before. Oh, and there’s an entire “As Seen on TV” STORE at Ala Moana Mall. We’ll have to take the boys.

Lil Lisa, you know I’m always a phone call away if you’re freaking out, and I’m sure I’ll be returning the favor. I’m happy you’re doing so well, and I wanna hear all about the NY weekend. I haven’t tried to use my iPod at either Pearl Harbor or Kaneohe, but I have a feeling they’re not fascists like in Dahlgren.

Oh, Gill, we will try our best to keep you happy with endless twitter updates. Videochats are also good. I’m glad we have the technologiez now so that it’s easier to stay in touch.

And you can always count on a call from me when I’m feeling sad and ronery! Speaking of that, you are a Hawaiian saint for talking me through my freakout the other day. Everything turned out fine and is still going fine, and I’m heading to upstate NY for a wedding this weekend.

I hope you get to explore all over the place in The Hawaii. Can you see Russia from there? If so, please take pictures and blog about it.

p.s. – can you wear your iPod on base there?

I’m glad to hear that you’re settling in, babe, and doing things that make you happy. I’ve also gotten back to my hobbies — writing, music, and art — after years of not doing them much, and it feels awesome. It really is never too late to start again, or try something new.

Speaking of DIY projects, Darren and I got hooked on this infomercial for the Cricut Expression (http://tinyurl.com/lm9neo), to make cutouts on just about any material, and almost picked up the phone and ordered one. Too bad it’s like $300. I think one day, you and Brian and Darren and I will have a whole room dedicated to As Seen on TV products.
