i heart the post office

Fun activity of the day: going to the post office here in Honolulu to pay an additional $85 in postage on 5 boxes that we already paid postage on. To say that they take their "media mail" seriously is an understatement. Either that or they have nothing better to do than rifle through our stuff and find any excuse to charge us more money.

One box was full of books (like 40 lbs worth), but had 3 Sharpies and a post-it pad which happened to contain some writing on it. No soup for you!!!

Another box contained all books and one spiral-bound notebook which apparently had a return envelope to WaMu that was supposed to be mailed like 2 years ago. Give us more money!!! No media mail!!! No soup for you - ONE YEAR!!!!!

It was good times, to be sure.

The real highlight of the day was eating a randomly perfect meal in a totally unexpected place - Big City Diner at Ward Center. We were both really hungry and shuffled like zombies into their establishment, and it was easily the best meal we've had since we arrived. Ken had what was, apparently in that moment, the perfect burger. I had a yummy portobello mushroom sammich. We splurged and split an unbelievable brownie sundae. My fat ass totally didn't need it, but damn it was gooooood.
