the girls

normally, once i get to the 15, i breathe a huge sigh of relief. i love the freeway. for some reason though everyone was going 65 & really messing me up.

anyways by the time we got down to OC i realized i was hungry...again (i told you i was pms-ing & have been eating enough to feed a small village). instead of driving down & checking in we decided to head right over to sushi. we knew we'd be early, but that's so out of character for us, we thought we'd give it a try.

there was a mall across the street, so we went over there for about 1/2hr, then headed over to Sho's. he already had spots reserved & after waiting what seemed like forever we went ahead & ordered before the girls showed up. we gobbled up our food before they even appeared (lesson 1 on how not to eat like a pig, arrive early & eat w/out witnesses - haha!).

they finally did arrive & had a fanastic "slut/damn i'm old" hat for the birthday girl (T). we had more sushi, some saki & beer. Z had octopus (which he didn't like as much as he thought), a little salmon & a bowl of rice.
it was so great to see them all (OC-D, A & D); they couldn't believe how big Z was. last time we were there B was in Japan & Z was an infant; that's when i took his swing to the sushi bar - talk about making yourself comfortable!

we saw the opening of the olympics, it was very neat.
