On Monday night I finally got out to the local Scottish Dance group. I had met the instructors when they cam to Hawaii to visit. Very coincidental. They are a small group of about 15 or so people. But unlike the group in Hawaii, there were people of all ages. The youngest probably being 12 or so. There was even a girl my age. During one dance, she was my partner and she told me that finally, there was a guy who knew how to dance. Aparently the other guys were either beginners, or just not great dancers. But I felt comfortable. It was nice. And the teacher even kind of put me on the spot. She told them that I had been dancing for years and that I knew what i was doing and had them follow my lead when doing some practice steps. But I felt right at home. They were all very nice and a fun group.

Ok, here is the largest lobster I have ever seen. It’s a little hard to see, but I guarantee you it was huge. All those little things underneath it are normal size lobsters. It had to be at least 1 1/2 feet long. Maybe two if you stretched it out. It’s claws were a good 7 inches long. It was huge.

Here it is. My new motorcycle and new helmet. I’m so excited. Happy St. Patricks day! Twas a good day. Got to ride my new motorcycle for the first time, went swimming, drank beer, discovered a new local brewery, and best of all, got to spend good quality time with Holly and Gavin.

I’m feelig very poor lately. I have no bed (borrowing an airmattress), no shelves or tables or chairs or much food. My dad gets married on the 24th this month and I was going to buy a plane ticket out there with the paycheck I received on Monday. What I did not plan on was them putting a hold on all but $100 of the check until the 23rd. That will not get me to my dads wedding on time. Or pay my bills. Or buy me a car or bed or anything else for that matter in the time that I need. Grrrr. So I have about $150 to last me until the 23rd. Dang. Being poor sucks. Plust I still haven’t heard much from FedEx about my claim. I faxed them the claim form and computer receipt verifying the value of my computer. Hopefully I will hear from them soon. So I got my atm card in the mail. Now I just need money to go with it. *Sigh* I might not make it to my dads wedding. 🙁

This past Tuesday Gavin came down with the flu. His daycare called us and we picked him up. Poor kid was so sick. He stayed home with me for the rest of the week. On Friday Holly left for a long planned trip up to San Francisco so Gavin stayed with me for the weekend. We took him to the doctor Friday morning and they said Gavin should improve over that day and the next. He improved a little on Friday, but didn’t fully become himself again until Saturday night. We ordered pizza with potato wedges for dinner. The carbs did him well. Now he is back to daycare and having a good time. This week I need to get a car and a bed. Hopefully I can do that. I’m kind of tired of sleeping on this air mattress. And as for the car, well, we both need our freedom.
