my worst thanksgiving ever!

aloha,
well, as i began my motherhood with my son's dad, i had my mom make our first thanksgiving dinner. (ya know how the moms cooking is right, hehe i loved that she did it) than when my son was 3 i decided to take on THE MEAL. oh i did what she did, got up early prep, snooze, add this , mash that, and we(me , the dad and my son ) would go for 2 nights on that weekend to the MAUI PRINCE hotel in makena. jus to treat ourselves and invite friends with all our "leftover "meal. well.... on nov of 99 , we had it planned. the room , the food, the other kids to invite(remember i am a mom of one child) than the week of thanksgiving on that monday, robert(the dad) didnt' come home that night. hmmm. i was of course worried. well long story short(but i can tell more details later)he was already renting another house with another family. yes i said it! can u imagine! i was sick for 2 days. than it was time for the cooking to commence and he never came back to our house. (he only visited in public place to see our son whos 9 going on ten at the time). i cried so hard while cooking the meal. it was just me and my son that thursday. we did do our room at the prince and robert only visited and ate with us and took a plate and left. it was a very hard adjustment for me to think i have to go home and be with jus me and my son. soooo. that sunday when i left the prince with so much left overs(homemade cranberry sause, stuffing,mashed potatoes,gravy, turkey, glazed carrots, pumpkin pie , rice, )and all the food i had . i left the hotel with my son and check out as usual. as i was driving home to piihilo(up the mountain) all i could think about who is gonna eat this food! . i gave it to the homeless people that used to hang out at the kanaha park here near the airport. yes, i just had to.in my mind i am thinkling, i got to turn this in to something positive. and this local hawaiian girls accepts but she sees i am in tears and than i break down and tell her my story and she says"well looks like you have your son and his dad will come back", that was the year that robert left our house hold to go live and support another family. . my tradition with jus me and my son has changed since(ya know sometimes you just got to get it catered) and that was my worst thanksgiveing every!. thanks ..jalove(jamie love, maui, hawaii)

sweet tasting

i got to see the hardest working DJ on this island today at a promotion at the pukalani superette. DJ SHAGGY was serving out pineapple samples. mmmmmmm it was so sweet. i got there just in time for a free bag which included a pukalani superette hat, a calendar, a key chain and the bag is a reusable grocery bag. i got the last bag. what luck. i really do have a thing for calendars and last year i scored a hawaiian calendar from shaggy, kinda when i first met him. he is a busy guy, but what a treat to see him in person. and i know he was smiling at me. you can tell when you really look at someone in the eyes and he just has these gorgeous blue eyes that have such clarity! he made my day and he made me smile. for me times have been very challenging and for such simple things like a look or smile from someone else , it really does make a person feel good. i will always support and love shaggy!
i say go to www.shaggylive.com and you will see why i love this dude!!

one love reggae concert

saturday evening was a blast! i was the one to drive the girls to the concert. and i was cool about it all. kathy picked up cindy and they came over to my house. we left makawao for the westside..lahaina bound. one love reggae concert. i finally tried the new primo beer. i liked it. i was telling the girls how my mom used to make the crochet primo beer hats back in the 70's, she used the aluminum cans and yarn, yeah i remember that. also we snuck in our own jaegmiester small bottle. in the concert it was so fun. dani girl was already on stage when we got there. she has a great voice! it was such a surprise when she pulled DJ SHAGGY on stage to sing with her. he did good. i thought so. he is such a cuttie. the audience loved it too. than we wondered to the beer section only to be standing in line and missing rebal soljahz. so we decided to get soda and cookies insead. . and it was so packed!

the lahaina civic center was heating up! i was a brave girl and went up to someone i like and asked for a kiss , but settled for a hug and a quaint ,short conversation. it made me feel like i can do anything and can expect anything! but knew how to react and move on with grace and pride. i hope i didnt scare the living daylights out of this person , but i was jus being me...and so was he!!! see its okay for me. oh i was wishing upon that venus star so hard that night! plus the night before, there was a celestrial event. i always think it IS in the stars. and planets!

ten feet came on stage and me and kathy rushed the front. gosh i knew all the songs. it was like i haven't heard them in a while.! i wish they played longer. i was so sweating! after they attempted to give away surfboards, finally KATCHAFIRE! omg, i remember seeing the video of their song love letter. i danced all their song! i got the endophine rush! yea i couldn't stop moving! it was a high to remember.oh it could have been all the pot i smoked or this mushroom taffy my girlfriend kept handing me! it was so fun! i just was moving! plus i get the energy from the crowd and everyone was poppin! dancing! movin! i was into it.
all of us girls had concluded that it was a very young looking crowd. but it was great eye candy for us! and we got to just be! our drive back to the country was jus fine.
another satisfied concert goer! i hope i don't have to scrape change for a ticket the next time! yeah i was that desperate i broke open the change jar. gee gotta go back to those old" groupie" days?!!!

NICE TAN!

yesterday i had such a great beach day. i got to baby beach in sprecklesville at around 8 30 am. the sun was great. i was kinda in a off the main reef break. i notice alot of runners and people with their dogs. it did get windy so i left. i went for a cruise to hookpia beach and it was hot.. by now i just wanted the ocean so bad. i drove to baldwin beach park and i usually like to go on the right of the pavillion, and the bay spot was eroded! yeah it was alll washed out! there were trees sticking out of the water. that beach has gone through so much. and i was in awe at the sight. realll beach erosion. so i swam near the life guard stand for nearly and hour!. i was catching waves, swimming out, and do water tumbles. it was great. the ocean really does rejuvinate the spirit. i took a shower and went to my car to change. you know what, how it is here , you just change where evers. and than i notice another girl doing the same thing. i love going to the beach on maui! I got home and napped for about 30 minutes than finally took another shower to wash my hair. boy did i get sunburn.hehe you can tell even if i have dark brown skin! it feels nice!so maybe beach again next week if i still dont have a job !

monday, monday!

Today has been okay. I went to a store for an interview for a sales associate position only to find out that the store has been sold to a new person and everything is re shifting. This is fine, although, i was given mis leading information to this store in the first plase. So I will see if it really the job for me. Than i went to a store that will offer a WORK TRADE. This concept is very interesting to me. I really like a lot of stuff in the store. I am going to dive in to it. I see it as an oppertunity at least to be out in the public and getting use to again to a schedule. I do like that i can make my own schedule for this work trade. Than i went to my favorite spot to have my snack. (HOOKIPA BEACH PARK). There were kite surfers, windsurfers and surfers. .

My landlord has dumped VERY HUGE ROCKS in my part of the drive way as they are starting to build a rock wall. They do a lot of their stuff on their own, so i am imagining the pile will be there a while. BUT, as i re evaluated the parking area, i will still be able to park in my space. (4 yrs ago when i had to park at the top of my driveway on the main cul de sac, my vehicle got stolen, so i am very wary about parking at the top of the road).

wind, drizzlies of rain, and just being in makawao is so very soothing. the pic is driving up the highway to UPCOUNTRY!

ALOHA!

thank you shaggylive for letting me post this blog. jus wanna say when u did the "forum"show on stickam a while back! it was so needed! these r shows that i go to now because of the forum: video vamp,electro,chris dubya lee mills,the ron show.... and i also found out about : j pitch, & dj andrew through shaggy too. i am still kinda new to all this internet stuff but i like it. it is very fun for me to explore on the internet.

i am happy to have met shaggy , mei, cookie, bk,maui mulisha( maui babe where u at?) in person. i find it so facinating to meet new people. if u get the chance to meet the people from the internet i say take it, cause it might be that one and only time. like cookie wow from australia! it was brief for me but well worth it!

i am in to diversity and change but jus like everyone else , it does take a while to get used to something new! im glad that shaggylive is taking it a step furthur in the format!. that is wonderful!

i would like to say thank you to all of you shaggylive supporters! it would not be done without you! the fans are the important ones right, what would shaggy do without us or more like what we do without him! Bringing us the best entertainment around! and plays the best in reggae music! and has the best way of telling us his life stories! and jus for being the last REAL DJ ALIVE!
