Trolley Ride
Last night we went to dinner and with it we got a free trolley ride to see Honolulu's Christmas lights. Mom has been wanting to go for a couple years so I'm glad we finally went. May and Byron were our companions. I had a really good time, but then I usually do when I go with them.
May is a science editor by day and an artist by night. She shows in different art galleries and I love her work. You can see some of her sculptures on Flickr photostream. Byron is a graphic designer. His work is so different from May's, it's night and day. You can see Byron's work at his Zazzle shop. I have his Cupcakes of Cthulu tshirt. I love what both of them do and every year they do a calendar that they give to us. I look forward to that calendar and it's one of the best gifts that we get.
I thought that it was going be a little chilly last night but it wasn't. I was so disappointed. Not mainland chilly mind you, but Hawaii chilly. That's to clarify for those of you who scoff. Don't give me grief. When there's a 20 degree drop I get chilled. My sweater was still warm.I forgot that's why I never wear it. It's handknit too. Oh well. Maybe if I wear a tank top underneath next time it'll be okay. Plft. And I thought I'd be colder with the wind whipping through the open trolley. It was not to be. It was colder at this time last year so I keep waiting for a cold front to come through.
This year I'm really anxious for Christmas to come rolling in because I want Mom to open her present. I got her a Grumpy Cat t-shirt. She wants one and has been vocal about it. I told her I haven't seen one and she doesn't know any better. I hope she'll like it! I also hope it's not too big. I can't remember what size I got. What if I got the wrong size? Hopefully they'll let me do an exchange. I got it from Wireless. Oh dear. Now I'm really nervous. I better check the size. I didn't really open the shirt up because I didn't want to mess it up.
If it's too big, I'll keep it for myself and buy her another one. Simple fix.
I think she's buying me a pair of earrings from The Bead Gallery. They were offering custom made jewelry and I said that if she wanted to do an easy gift the earrings would be the way to go. She never knows what to get me. So I always know what I'm getting. That kind of sucks but at least I know I'm not getting something I don't like.
I better check that shirt out. Now is not the time to freak out.
