so this past week, we got invited to yet another wedding. this time it's one of c's friends and he's know the guy since they were in grammer school. and they guy was in our wedding. so they're close. the wedding is in less than two months....in HAWAII! what is it with all these destination weddings? we just said no to the one in the virgin islands, finally, and now this one comes up. but, the most exciting news is that we actually get to go! i searched and searched and found a great deal on a trip. we'll go for 6 days and 5 nights and i can hardly wait. as soon as c gave me the go ahead ~which is miraculous in and of itself~ i got everything squared away.

THIS is where we're staying. c is excited that it's close to where magnum p.i. was filmed. i'm just excited. and the trip is soo affordable. i can't believe it. we'll have it all paid off before we go, and that's so great. it will cost us 1/3 of what the virgin islands trip would have cost us and for double the amout of time. we just need to keep it on the down low so the other friends don't find out...which shouldn't be so hard as they don't know each other what so ever.

the weather has turned hot here and i love it. it was about 92 yesterday. no spring, just summer. fine by me! i'm just so tired of the rain...as long as it's gone, i'm a happy one. my roses are going crazy and there are birds everywhere. we can hardly keep the bird feeders full.

we went to dinner at c's parent's house last night and his mom was trashed, as usual. i'm getting so tired of it. i know i'm more sensitive to it since i stopped drinking, but she really is out of control. it's just obnoxious. she always has a head start on everyone before we get there, then just continues to drink and drink and drink while we are there. she gets feisty, and not in the good way, and slurs her words so you can barely understand her. it's really uncomfortable. she's such a trainwreck. i'm just glad i don't have to see her that often. i feel bad for c because he has had to deal with that his whole life.

my mom was actually very kind these past few days. i sent her flowers and a pound of kona coffee (her favorite and kind of hard to find) for mother's day and she left me two very nice voice mail messages. i almost saved them, they were so nice. i think she's looking forward to retiring at the end of june. i hope that's what it is. she didn't really complain at all this week, and that's good. i wonder how she'll be after she stops working. hopefully she'll get some rest. only time will tell, that's for sure.

we watched walk the line last night. what an awesome movie. i love reese, and now have a new fondness for joachin pheonix. i love movies like that.

well, i better get some work done. mr. fp isn't here today, so it's not so fussy around here. whew. nice for a monday.
