What Day Is It?

That's the question I was asking myself when my alarm went off this morning. First I thought it was still the weekend and couldn't understand why my alarm was going off. Then I thought I worked yesterday but couldn't remember where so couldn't figure out where I was supposed to work today.

It took me about two minutes to sort through this and then I realized it was Monday.

That never happens to me. I always know what day it is when I wake up.

We're With The FBI...

Those were the words I heard this morning at the jewelry store. I saw on the monitor there were two young men flashing badges and asking the salesperson if we had a ring for a certain person. It was hard to believe they really were FBI because they were dressed so casually. Not like on TV where they wear suits.

It turns out they had a court order to seize a ring one of the designers had in her possession that was given to her husband by someone who had raided the studio of a person who had bilked investors out of $2.1 million. Apparently he was given the ring as partial payment for the money he lost.

She told them she had the ring but they would have to talk to her husband. And they said, "You're refusing to turn the ring over to us?" Then they showed her a federal court order.

She gave them the ring and asked them to speak with her husband.

Meanwhile we're watching the monitor and listening to this conversation from the back office. The other owner is in disbelief that she would be in possession of stolen property and have it at work. She's like "just give them the ring".

So that was my morning excitement.

Big Blowout.....

The afternoon peace was shattered by a huge bang from the highway that runs past the center the store is in. And then we hear a bunch of noise which turns out to be a blown tire on a huge dump truck as it barrels past. People eating at tables at the restaurant across from us have their eyes glued on the street. The people in the real estate office across from us come out of their office and watch the truck going by. Everyone is like what the heck is that and hoping the truck doesn't crash into something. Fortunately the truck driver kept control and pulled over.

And this happened not too long after I told the salesperson we needed some more excitement to follow-up on our morning excitement.

Weekend Happenings........

It was mostly a beach weekend (again). I saw the heartbreaker's truck near the beach we go to. Looks like he went on an air tour of the island. When he got back he drove down the road to the beach but turned back towards the highway. I'm pretty sure he saw my car parked on the sand and my son and I on the beach but may not have realized it was us. Even if he did he probably wouldn't have driven over and said hi.

The next day we saw whales not too far from shore. I was beginning to wonder where they were but the last couple of weekends I've been seeing them. They should be in Hawaiian waters for a couple more months before they head back up north.
