The Ultimate Blog Party Continues

I actually did a quickie welcome post the other day just to make sure I don’t miss anyone who come visit A Maui Blog for the party. This is now the “official” welcome.

If you are wondering why I am smiling ear to ear on this photo of mine on the left, it’s because of these keiki cows that were so cute (I was taking a photo of them when Peter called me to take a photo of me) and the fact that I rode on the back of the pick-up truck while we were doing the tour at the Ulupalakua Ranch. That was really fun! I used that photo on this post so you would know that I am also very happy to “blog-meet” you. Thanks for stopping by.

The truth is, I am at McDonald’s right now, here in Wailuku Maui, using their Wifi. You see, I am a working Maui Mama and I am always busy and most often on the run doing errands, driving my kids to school, classes, etc. etc. Many friends ask me when do I have time to blog and tweet. The answer is I wake up at a wee hour in the morning (like 4AM) and sometimes stay late at night (if I don’t fall asleep on my key board). Gotta do what I have to do. I enjoy blogging and all things social media. I think it’s a great tool in connecting people all around.

My daughter’s dance class is almost over so I have to end this post for now. Enjoy the party! Last time I look there are about 2,000 participants already! Talk about a huge party!

By the way, I said I would give away another prize on my next post. So I am. When you leave a comment here, you will be given a chance to win a CD by Derick Sebastian.  I tell you, that guy does wonderful music with his ukulele!

OK, really got to go… party on! Aloooha!

Oh, hello! I am supposed to write a post for this Ultimate Blog Party 2010. I am late (again!) I am so sorry. This busy working mama is “almost always” late. Let’s just say I am on “Maui Time” or “fashionably late”, ok? Please relax, look around, and enjoy the blog. I am working on a more “welcomy” post at the moment.

In the meantime, to bribe encourage you to leave a comment and let me know that you came to visit, I am doing a draw. Anyone who leaves a comment, even just to say “hello” will be included in a draw and will have a chance to one cute Java Lavalava cup holder. It’s the cutes thing ever – a reusable cup holder designed by my friend @tikitales.

By the way, I have actually donated a prize for this Ultimate Blog Party. I will include a photo of that on my party post. It’s a lot of goodies from Maui – oh all so good.  I can’t remember what number is it (I know, I am supposed to know that – I think it’s USC12). I will let you know  when my party post is up (let’s call this one a pre-post).

So leave your comment and please come back tomorrow. You’d never know I might have some more fun stuff to give away – from Maui no less! Don’t forget to say hello in the comment section. If you’d like to know more about me and my blog, just click the tabs up top (but you probably don’t have time for that right now because you’re partying and mingling around) Be be back for more aloha! I promise it’ll be worth it.

And before I forget, another Maui blogger, and a good friend of mine, @jamarilyn is also participating in this Ultimate Blog Party. She’s giving away a prize too, so check her blog out: The Artful Hawaiian Girl after you leave a comment here. Aloha!
