We have had a very good holiday today. I mean, I feel like pretty much any day is a good day when we get to watch the Miraculous Paris special, which we just did, but the day was pretty good without that, too. It started out just okay, because this volume of Wistoria is still kicking our butts...and we just checked K Manga and found out it's ( Read more... )

Well, we took some time off to go to Disneyland with friends, and of course we completely wore ourselves out physically, but we had a great time and I think we're recovering fairly well ( Read more... )

We have been very busy these last few days, and it has been excessively hot, so we're pretty much melted and dead by now. Actually the weekend stuff wasn't bad, because it all took place inside air-conditioned buildings ( Read more... )

Our ward had a barbecue today, so we went to it! ...Even though the main thing on the menu was smoked tri-tip, and we recently learned that, with our freakish taste buds, we cannot stand the taste of smoked anything. (Like, there was a flavor that we really hated that kept showing up the last time we went to Japan, then we took a train to visit ( Read more... )

We're having stake conference this week, and the only people we could think of to ask for a ride to the Saturday evening session were in leadership positions that would have them attending the leadership session before that. So we asked our friend Sister A if she would pick us up before the leadership session, ( Read more... )

Our week started off strange and continues to be strange. I mean, we knew today was going to be different, because our new computer hadn't arrived yet, which meant we wouldn't be able to do our job. On top of that, today was the day early access tickets went on sale for "Oogie Boogie Bash -- A Disney Halloween Party" (I think the name is just a ( Read more... )

We didn't mean to disappear yesterday... I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but that's my first thought, so that's how I'm starting this post. Anyway, Gaston and Alice got back from France yesterday evening, and they were determined to uphold our tradition of taking us out for a meal for our birthday. It was kind of funny, because we were at a ( Read more... )

The travel plans are finally coming together...maybe? It was a complicated and annoying road to get this far, and there are still some rather unpredictable elements, but for now, I think...I think we've finally settled on dates.

Like I said, it's a complicated and annoying story. ( Read more... )

I think our time as tour guides went well overall. The day could definitely have been better. Like, it was constantly raining, and not-raining would have been nice, but it was never raining super hard, so that was definitely something to be grateful for. And the little girl in the party would occasionally comment about how beautiful everything ( Read more... )

Our plans to go to Disneyland today were thwarted by the reservation system and our insistence on Disneyland trips that are spontaneous. We might try to snag reservations for tomorrow, but we already have reservations now for Tuesday, because! our assistance has been requested ( Read more... )
