I went to early morning yoga, then my friend Linh picked me up to go to Waikele Outlet Mall. She was on the search for a dress, and of course I was on the search for nothing, but came out with a full complete outfit, a matching blouse, skirt, clutch purse, sweater, and shoes. As we were leaving the parking lot to head to Genki Sushi for a late afternoon snack, I heard this voice behind me say, "Hey you're unemployed. You shouldn't be shopping." The voice came from my good childhood friend Nina who pulled up behind us.
I came home to find one more box that arrived from Seattle. The heat made me pass out for a couple hours after I got home. Or maybe it was all that shopping.
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
