It's so cold here . . .

2/10/2016

It's really cold here this week. Today isn't expected to get out of the 30s and the low tomorrow morning is supposed to be about 20 degrees. Brrrrr!!!!!!! So I changed the picture on my website to a view of the surf from Diamond Head. I feel warmer just looking at it! No, not really, I'm still cold. But since it's too cold to be outside, it is just right for staying in and working on cross stitch. I am stitching the sampler for the Big Island. Still a ways to go but I'm getting there. Also working on small silhouettes of Hawaiian landmarks that I think will be interesting.

Just for fun:

In Hawaii, you know you're local if . . .
  • You think the four food groups are starch, Spam, fried food and fruit punch.
  • And a balanced meal has three starches-rice, macaroni, and bread.
  • You know 101 ways to fix your rubber slippers-50 using tape, 50 using glue and one using a stick to poke the strap back in.
  • Your only suit is a bathing suit
  • You say 'I going for lawnmower da grass' when you mean 'I'm going to mow the lawn'.
  • You have a sister, cousin, aunty or mom named 'Honey Girl'.
  • You say 'da kine' and the other person says 'da kine' and you both know what is 'da kine'.
  • You feel guilty leaving a get-together without helping clean up.
  • You call everyone older than you 'auntie' or 'uncle' and you kiss everyone in greeting and farewell.
  • The only time you honk your horn is once a year during the safety inspection.
  • You can live and let live with a smile in your heart.
