Aloha Nautie Friends! Seriously, it's about time.

It's about time that I share some link love....and sadly, it's about the time I don't have. I'm sharing links because I don't have the time I need to write some of the posts that I'd really like to write. (Sad face.) I have posts stacking up just waiting to get written....they'll just have to keep. Because I'm totally, totally swamped. So swamped that my Dad told me to watch out for alligators! (Seriously, he really did.)

Please enjoy some link love! I have tons of starred items in my Google Reader that I've been meaning to pass along for ages....I figured what better time than right now.....re-reading them makes me smile....hope some of them make you smile too! (You don't have to smile if you don't want to....I know that feeling too!)

When I was a kid I told my preschool teacher that I had a whole bunch of siblings who lived in Honolulu and that they were Japanese. I desperately wanted to be Japanese growing up....I even made up a Japanese name for myself....Meiko. These little Japanese kids made me want to be Japanese all over again!
