We're going to do thanksgiving with mike's family like always. I asked my mom if we were doing anything this weekend because in the past we've gotten together on Saturday. Or she at least would let me know that they were doing Tday without me. This year I hadn't heard anything. When I asked, she told me she invited my brother and sister over to her ( Read more... )

Aikido schools generally belong to associations to maintain the link between us and Japan. It's one of the cool and kinda hard things about being an aikido school ( Read more... )

People are stupid. I hate it when I can see the proverbial train rolling down the tracks of doom. Mike and I can see this particular train wreck especially clearly. I mean, really. If one person is telling you that something you're about to do is stupid, I can see going whatever. But if a lot of people are telling you this? And almost all of them ( Read more... )

I win non-grudge-holder of the year. I called and left a message for my sister asking if she wanted me to send my maternity clothes to her through my mom so she could go through them. Although I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more, ah, let's call it "curvy" or "muscular" than my sister, she's probably the only person I know, except maybe Michelle, who ( Read more... )

Sigh. I've been a little under the weather. I'm pretty sure it's just side effects from this short-term estrogen treatment thing (very mild) I'm doing for some continuing post partum issues. The problem is that people keep asking me if I don't feel well because I'm pregnant. I mean, what am I going to say? If I was and not telling many people, that ( Read more... )

I made the mistake of posting some stuff  on facebook about the stupid pediatric eye place we went to today and last week. Seriously, these people were awful. All I wanted was a baseline reading for her eyes since Mike and I are very, very, very nearsighted. As in, I am so nearsighted, I am not corrected to 20/20 in contacts. Last week they dilated ( Read more... )

1. I got a really bad haircut Friday and I hate it more today. Even Stephan asked me what happened to my hair ( Read more... )

So today during class some kids were running around like howler monkeys. Not toooo unusual because there's a kids class at about the same time but it's not very usual that the were pretty much unchecked...I later found out these weren't kids who were there for a class but the kids of a fitness kickboxing attendee who didn't get a babysitter and ( Read more... )

I've posted some more photos from Autumn's party on the family blog. This set has Autumn, me, and Mike. I need people to compliment me because I'm still stinging over the height thing I mention on that post. LOL. Not really. But kind of. If you know what I mean.

Soooo....everyone having a good summer?

A gopher or a mole or something ate my tomato ( Read more... )
