There's a trend here in Japan and I don't know if it's going on anywhere else, I'll assume so at the risk for making an ass of myself. It's girls and adult women attaching a certain doll, icon, thingy to their bags. I've been slowly and methodically looking for the right fit for me and … Continue reading A New Love/Hate Relationship

Bazaar is an AWESOME word
My apologies for the lack of posting lately. We have been fighting this cold so not been out much the last week or so and likely won't be doing much this weekend. But as soon as we are back in good health the blogging of fun-ness in Japan will continue. I may come up with … Continue reading Bazaar is an AWESOME word
The Not Quite Ill-ness
The husband and I have both been afflicted with an odd ailment that has me a bit baffled. It started with just a feeling of not quite right, then turned in to a bit of fatigue and general not wanting to do anythingness and morphed into a slight sinus issue but not even enough to … Continue reading The Not Quite Ill-ness
Sit Up Straight and Suck In Your Gut!
This was the initial reaction that hit me as I was innocently reading my email just now and a new message popped up: "Le Clown is now following your blog" Oh dear...*looks side to side*... If you don't know why I had this reaction you aren't following Le Clown's … Continue reading Sit Up Straight and Suck In Your Gut!
Charmin Mama Bear – The Untold Story
Yes we've seen baby bear with the pieces of toilet paper sticking to their backsides. But from one woman to another, I would like to see Mama Bear with pieces sticking to her crotch cuz really, that's the truth isn't it? Does anyone really get toilet paper stuck to their butt cheeks? I'm just sayin...
Directness to a Fault
I can't think of a time in my life where I wasn't as direct as possible in communicating. Often, there is praise for it and people seem to appreciate it even though sometimes it's dripping with sarcasm =P it just sneaks out. Sometimes, I'll fully admit, my ability to communicate my thoughts hits a wall … Continue reading Directness to a Fault
Inkage
Have a new tattoo to show off, didn't hurt too much but I did grimace a few times during it. Took about 2 hours. Why put permanent art on my body? Well, each tattoo I have has special meaning behind it and they tend to remind me what is most important. Each one has a … Continue reading Inkage
Book 52: “Jenny’s Turn”
Vanessa Grant’s “Jenny’s Turn” Another one where I'd like to strangle the two characters because it would all be solved easily if they just spoke up instead of playing games. A decent story but I find it hard to believe a man would go to that extent after 5 years. The next book is: Susan … Continue reading Book 52: “Jenny’s Turn”
Book 42: “The Flight of the Kestrel”
Margaret Abbey’s “The Flight of the Kestrel” Another twist on the good pirate type story. The author created a graceful, lovely character who I really hoped would have a happy ending. I liked the tie in with Queen Elizabeth as well, fun. The next book is: Taylor Caldwell's: "Maggie-Her Marriage"
