This huge fabric warehouse has ridiculously cheap fabric and an awesome
selection of hawaiian prints. I managed to get out of there with with 18
yards of fabric for $50. I want to go back for more. I’m going to make
our hawaiian honeymoon quilt from hawaiian print fabric. We need to find
a cheap duffle bag to get all our loot home. We’ve been shopping a
little too much.
Today is too hot and sunny to do anything. Yesterday was the perfect
combo of rain and partially cloudy weather. We san franciscans can’t
take the heat. I keep trying to convince Tom to take me to the nut
factory (manua loa macadamia nuts) but he’s says if we go in, they won’t
let me out again. I’ll get shrink wrapped and shipped off to some
tourist gift store on oahu.
To keep myself out of trouble today, I’ve been arranging beautiful
displays of fruits and taking pictures of them. I decided guava is a
stupid fruit. So many tropical fruits look fantastic but taste icky.
I’ll take my pineapple, mango, and bananas, you can have your guava and
papaya. eh, papaya is pretty good I guess, if it’s icey cold when you
eat it.
We’ve been here one week now and we feel like locals already. I have
converted to flip flops and people give us the hang loose sign. Tonight
we’re cooking at home. We’re having chicken thighs coated in coconut and
panka with mangos, black beans, and coconut rice. Damn, I wish I was me,
oh wait, I am me… I’m so lucky.
We found the local karaoke hot spot last night: Anna’s Lounge. The
karaoke bar right near us sadly closed down a few months ago. I’m still
slowly working on Tom that karaoke is a really good idea. Maybe tonight?
