Yesterday, I spent way too much time swathed in my long white dress with my best hat on my head, my ceremonial nuts around my neck and my feet blessedly unshod. Details at http://www.huliheepalace.net/new-members-2011
Hard thing was behaving like a lady for 6 hours. And, the Daughters of Hawai`i think that one’s legs should not go all the way from the ground to the crotch… And, if one’s legs do go from ground to crotch – then one must wear a slip under one’s long white dress to conceal that fact. I can barely manage the dress part. I don’t own a slip. Haven’t owned a slip in at least 40 years. Much less a floor length white one. So, I spent all day hopping around like a mermaid so no one would report me to the slip police. (In fact one lady brought a slip of me to borrow…) I am so not a lady.
Somewhere between yesterday evening and noon today – I lost my 32gig usb memory drive. I think I must have left it on the bed and when the sheets got changed today – it went out with sheets to the hotel laundry. The good news is that there were only pictures on the drive. And I think that I have copies of everything here or there. I had it all set up to use with my photo scanning project – I think, hope, that everything is over at the palace on their elderly computer. Peggy and USB memory keys don’t mix. Dropbox is for me.
