You all a blessed and fun summer weekend. We're off to the Hula Bowl flea market thingy tomorrow. I hope to land a good deal on tee shirts. I packed exactly seven tee shirts, two nicer tops, and bought a nice top since being here and two tee shirts. I know this is disgusting, but let's be honest: it's hot here and I'm sweating profusely. I have never drank so much water in my bloody life! But, if I don't pack in the water, I figure I won't have a life, yeah?
So, I need some tee shirts. I need to change my tee shirts once a day. I haven't been doing it to avoid doing more laundry than I care to and seeing a whopping electric bill as well. I have suffered enough of my naughty pits, and, even though no one else seems to notice (or I have been quite lucky I passed on the "polite" gene) it only matters that I do. It is eye-stingingly naughty.
I'd be able to enjoy the salty sea air caressed with the sweet plumeria if it weren't for my own odoriferous assault and block on my nostrils. So, dear friends, goes my journey.
I got a wonderful phone call today from a friend I miss terribly. Her dad's been having some health issues and we're all praying hard for him. Her and the family were visiting him and are now on their way home. Like I told her today: I hate to complain about living in Hawaii - I'm in Hawaii for Pete'sakes! Geesh.
But, the pits need to take a hike.
Come Have a Cuppa!
Pray For Us, O Holy Mother of God!

Glad to see you are enjoying Hawaii! I'll bet it's an incredible place to be.
God Bless,
Jane
Yep...I would be sweating right along with ya! That hot there? What is the temps like? Have fun at the flea market.
You crack me up!
I love flea markets!!!!
Don't they have a Wal-mart in Hawaii? Go there for tees!
Jane - it's beyond gorgeous.
carmelitemom - it hovers in the low to high 80's . . . in winter (same winter as in Southern CA, I think, but never any snow on O'ahu) about the low 50
s to low 70s. People say it pretty much is a steady weather place. It's hot to me. I like it, but I do not like sweating. :)
Nancy - methinks I'll like this flea market as it's held three times a week here.
Jamie - believe it or not, even the locals here say you can't beat the prices at the flea market. And, our sponsor said you can get up to 8 tee shirts for twenty bucks. Good quality cotton . . . and you can haggle. :) Even the Navy Exchange can't beat it.
I'll tell my story about it later.
Have fun at the Swap Meet, Sarah! You can find great bargains there, from tee shirts to jewelry to everything else.
I once bought a tee shirt there for our older son, then in high school, that had pretty scroll-y design and a leaf on front with the word, "Ganja." I asked the seller what ganja was, and he said it was an herb or something. A few years later, we were living in Texas and older brother had passed the shirt down to younger brother, who wore it to school. I was talking to older son on the phone and mentioned that his brother was wearing the tee shirt. He said, "Don't let him wear it to school, Mom. Ganja means marijuana." I had no clue. :o\ Thank goodness none of his teachers did, either.
Kalona - thankfully I know what that word means . . . but it is a fun story, yeah? I won't wear any shirts in different languages unless I know for certain what it means.
I found three tees (my husband and I split the 8 tees for $20), a sarong, a dress (I tried it on and it's a bit snug in my arse - dern it! But, it was inexpensive and I can get a larger size next time to get me through to when I can fit this one better, because I WILL), and a skirt. The skirt is a wrap style and it's gorgeous, but it shows a little more leg than I care for . . . may send it out to a friends daughter.
A little surprise waits for you at my place... come see! It's not quite what you think...
any luck with the t-shirts? beautiful rainbow below!!
