I'm not sure where the habit started or the reasoning for it but for most of my adult life I have waited, procrastinated perhaps, cleaning up. Now, just to clarify, my house is not a pig pen but it could be kept better. I tend to wait till the counter is full to do the … Continue reading Changing Habits (not the nun type)

Eww Raw Fish!
When friends and family heard we were going to live in Japan for 3 years I had a mixture of reactions. Most were super excited and some said they would make the trip to come visit. Then there were a few who cringed and said "Eww Raw Fish! I would starve to death in Japan!" … Continue reading Eww Raw Fish!
For REDdog
Hey bud, check out the thermal lunch bag my office mate got for me for Christmas. I only mentioned the blog with a chuckle and smile back when you gave me that nickname. Haha!
October Excursions – Part 2
The last tour we were on went to Nanadaru Hot Spring and Joren Waterfall. Joren Waterfall has quite a history, it was created by a volcanic eruption many lifetimes ago and is located on the Izu Peninsula.

What’s In a Name?
So, a blogger I follow REDdog is from the very awesome Australia and recently posted about how Aussies use nicknames for everyone.

She said, it's much cheaper than in the states and not painful at all. She is a very petite woman and goes in for 30 minutes now that she is close … Continue reading Hairless Wonders
Vociferous
This week's word is Vociferous which was used by Farmer Farthing in the form of "vociferously". I like this word, it sounds rather proper and dignified. A nice way to say loud and obnoxious. haha What does it mean?

Trust In Myself
Trust is a strange thing. Trusting that someone is being honest with the words they say and actions they perform. For most of my life it seems I do not have trust in people in general.
