Ka-boom. Back from Hawaii. Turns out I wore myself ragged on the relaxing vacation because since leaving Hawaii and getting back to Sacramento, I have spent many a moments sleeping. Yesterday I tried the high-tech adventure that is the video blog but youtube did not let me upload it. And today I am just too tired to try again. Any thoughts? Is three minutes and 721MBs too long for youtube?

Either way, I wanted to share a few trip memories the old fashioned way. See that sunset photo? You may be thinking: "How did she process that in photoshop?" But the secret behind that photo is called, "Put Your Sunglasses In Front Of The Lens." Pretty exciting results.

Tomorrow I fly back to MARYLAND and embark in the opposite of a vacation which is nine days straight of work. Somewhere around there I will figure out how to get a video up and running. I will also try to sleep.
