I’m very excited because I finally got my camera!  I ordered it around Christmas, but it first had to go to my father-in-law due to shipping restrictions and then he sent it to us.  And it took the slow boat over so it took awhile.  But it’s here!  Yea! I got a Nikon D40x and it’s super fun.  The camera is awesome, although the photographer leaves a little to be desired.

I went to a lunch at Kayo’s house for girls day on Saturday.  Her daughter is one of my seven year old students and we had a very nice time.  Although, they did get me pretty drunk.  We started with beer at noon and I probably had six beers.  That along with the two bottles of white wine and I was feeling pretty good.  I left around six in the evening and walked back uphill to my house.  Apparently I called Shara and we talked for a little while.  I told her that I needed her vacuum back (I borrow it often because mine sucks and she has a Dyson and she’s gone for months on end).  So I guess I made the case that my rugs were very dirty and she needed to bring over the vacuum.  She called Sunday evening wondering just how badly I needed the vacuum and I had NO IDEA what was talking about.  I was all, “why do you ask?”  And she then explained about our conversation and said that I was laughing pretty much the whole twenty minutes we talked.  I crashed around 8:30pm that night and awoke at 11:30pm feeling very sick.  But once I threw up, I felt much better and other than getting sick, I was completely fine after that.

I didn’t sleep very well (I usually don’t after a lot of drinking) and I got up at 5:00am, but I still went to Kamakura with Michelle and her boys.  She’s the wife of the guy the DJ is sponsoring.  We were lucky and got to see three different tradition Japanese wedding parties and even got a picture with one couple.  The ume and cherry blossoms are out and gorgeous.  Enjoy!

And she was wandering around the shrine and just looked so adorable.  I had to get a shot of her.
