To all who linked to Oahu Dreams from their own blog — thank you.  You have helped me raise my authority from 0 to 3.  That is a lovely start and a long way to come in just a few days!

I am the new pre-school teacher at Ma’ili Elementary School. Pre-school. Little gooey kids. I believe there will be much learning in that classroom — by me! Anticipated start date: October 9th.

OC made light of the centipede episode, but I really didn’t take it all that lightly. We leave the windows wide open so the breeze can blow through the house — the standard in island air conditioning — and occasionally other things blow through as well. Last night it was a dead leaf from a [...]

You know, I love this island. I’ve been here almost a month — my car has been here almost a month — I drive it almost every day, and I have never once put gas in it. When I bring it home and park it, the gage often indicates that it is low on gas, [...]

At home I sit at the table in the dining room staring at my computer screen, revising my resume just a bit for each new job posting.
