Greetings from Hawaii!

Well, since I am in Hawaii for the holidays, I wanted to update you on what I've been doing.

I love Hawaii. It is one of my most favorite places. I just come to relax though. I don't want to mix business with pleasure. Plus, these native kids probably have some of the dirtiest rooms around with all the sand and surf wax everywhere.

Since I've been here, I have done some hula dancing as usual.

Here's a picture of me the other night...

I also like to get in some surfing while I am here. It sure beats Westport. Plus the waves on the North Shore are perfect this time of year.

Here's me getting tubular yesterday. I'm really not up on the lingo of the kids these days, I just like to rip it.

Well, I hope you all have had and continue to have a happy holiday season. I am scheduled to be back on January 5th. I will give you some more tips this coming year.

$anta'$ Watching!

Boy am I busy this time of year. With the Christmas Season here, parents are in full manipulation mode trying to motivate their kids to clean their rooms. So I make myself available to meet the holiday rush. Santa Claus is great for business!

.

But, the long hours do cause me some stress. Some days I don't know how I do it. I'm working dawn 'til dusk drowning in a proverbial sea of filth. Boy are today's kids messy. And spoiled. Some kids have so many toys that there's no telling where they will show up. If I find another naked Barbie with the GI Joes I could scream...

.

But, I'll be okay. As soon as Christmas rolls around I take a couple of weeks off to unwind. This year I'm going to Hawaii. The warm weather will be good for me.

Its been a while since I gave you a tip. So, here goes...

.

When your kids are cleaning their rooms, make sure to take a look under their beds. You never know what you find under there especially abnormally dirty clothes. Since this is a G rated blog, I won't go into details.

.

Here's a rhyme to help you with the little ones:

.

"Under the bed is not for dirty clothes, but for evil trolls!"

.

That ought to get them right to it!

.

'Til next time...

Happy Cleaning!
