Ohana visit

Wow! Kamaile was on a roll last night and we got out of oli class close to 10 o' clock. The drive home was uneventful and I'm glad that crazy rain let up! Is it the middle of June already? Where is the sun? Well, at least I don't need to water plants today.

This week one of my cousins is flying in with her husband to meet the cruise ship going to Alaska. On Friday we'll all have lunch together. It should be fun, I've not seen her in a few years. My cousins are all skinny so I know I'll get a warning about being chubby right off the bat. That is the thing in my ohana on the Japanese side--I wish they'd start off a conversation after not seeing you for decades and just say, "Hi, 'Ona, it's so great to see you!" Instead of the proverbial, "Wow, you gained some weight since last time!" Once we get past that, I'll be in a better mood. Maybe next time I see them when I'm 70 years old I'll be skinny too! Ha!

Going to lunch with them means taking Friday off and heading to Tacoma (yet again) with Wes. They'll get a kick out of giving him the once over and his crazy personality will be talked about in family circles everywhere! OOOooh--can you tell I'm apprehensive to see them? I'm glad my mom is the black sheep of the family--she's so sassy and the eldest of the Eguchi clan, so that is my clout. Once we start talking about hana buttah dayz we will be laughing and joking--should be fun. I'd better dress nice--unless we're on the bike--hmmmm, "Let's Give Them Something to Talk About"!!

Ever the Rebel,
