Brian’s parents just visited and we had a grand time. We went snorkeling in Hilo several times and had a great time seeing the variety of fish out and about. I saw my first snake eel and later snake eel babies. On Brian’s birthday he and his father went hiking in North Kohala and had a lot of fun exploring Polulu Valley and the neighboring valley. We also went to the Lava Tree State Park down near Pahoa. We also visited the astronomy center at UHH (Imiloa) and did star gazing on Mauna Kea. The evening on Mauna Kea was less than enjoyable for me though - I was car sick on the hour long ride to Mauna Kea which was further exacerbated by taking a 1 mile walk at 9000 feet mostly uphill on the way back at sunset when it was about 50 degrees. I felt horrible the whole night but fortunately I woke up feeling better the next day. We also visited the Kaumana Caves but I did not walk very far as my shoes proved to be inadequate for the task. I think everyone had a good time…
Brian and I also went to an rough water race while his parents were visiting. We checked it out and I am currently thinking about doing the 2 mile Kealakekua Bay rough water race. I surely will not win but I think it would be a lot of fun. Brian is now using this as yet another excuse to talk me into doing qualifying races for the Ironman. I think I will pass as I am not interested in dying before I turn thirty, thank you very much.
I was also able to bodyboard at Hapuna and was able to ride one absolutely perfect wave and a bunch of not so perfect waves. I did get a nasty burn. While in the water I was trying to remember why I had made such a big deal about wearing my board shorts but I could not recall why - it became obvious to me later when my derrière burned.
While at Kona Bay Books, Brian spotted Da Jesus Book - the Pidgin Bible. Seriously, I am speechless.
In other news, the Big Island is getting Target, Circuit City, PetSmart (I think), PF Changs, and Office Max all on the Kona side. I am not exactly excited. I like Target and would gladly trade in Walmart and Kmart for it but seriously we don’t need all of those stores.

My birthday has occurred. I am a year older. That is the extent of the excitement. I am giving up birthdays.

My birthday is coming up on June 22 and Brian and I picked out my gift online. I am getting a right hand ring - it’s beautiful. It’s a stunning peridot and diamond ring. The picture from the jeweler:
Brian wants a weird chakra ring so he is in the midst of picking one out. I asked him not to purchase another weird piece of jewelry that has weird “casted spells” on it.

Hurricane Daniel is heading straight for Hawaii. Right now, it is a category 4 hurricane but it should dissipate and become a tropical storm before it ever hits Hawaii (if it does at all). We should be fine since we are not on the beach and we sit on a hill in a two story house. Go us.
I tried to go swimming with Jason today but the swimming pool is closed for a week for termite related repairs.
One of Brian’s birthday presents came today. Unfortunately, the *main* present has not arrived and probably won’t arrive for another few weeks even though I ordered it in MAY! Sometimes eBay can be a real pain…

Brian and I have these cargo trekking shorts in size L and XL. We only have one pair in size L so he wears them everyday - and when I say everyday I mean EVERYDAY. We only have our laundry done once per month so he wears these shorts to the gym, to work, to walk outside in, to go everywhere and he NEVER washes them not even on laundry day. He LOVES these shorts but I need to find him more - the XL shorts are way too big on him and he practically lives in the L shorts.
Here is a picture:
I desperately need to find these shorts in size L - any color will work and used is fine. He will not change his shorts unless I find him more! Someone, help me find more, please!!!

Today I spent most of the day “celebrating” my birthday with my lovely family. Since I’m adopted I have two birthdays, one in June and another in September, which is my adoption day. Today, I went to the melting pot for dinner and now I’m cleaning my office. Of all the things I could be doing, I’m doing that. I was reading a good bit of Sartre today, it’s his fiction novel, “Nausea.” It’s a great read, I highly suggest it, I’ll be posting an opinion and synopsis in my reading section soon along with the other books I choose to post. 
Since I am cleaning so much this will leave me a great deal of time to work and update the site as well. I know I’ve been procrastinating about it a great deal but I am going to upload all the things I worked on while on my trip.

I had to go shopping today since my mother burned a hole in my new shirt with the iron. No, I don’t do my own laundry Yes, I’m lazy and cheap. So, I went and bought a new shirt, did I mention I loathe and detest shopping? The salespeople are the worst they always want to talk to me and I always want to go about my business. I also never go shopping in the mall, however, my mom bought this shirt for me as a birthday present and then she burned a hole in it then I got to return it, something is wrong there…
