1. Have you gotten everything done that you had hoped to do during the first half of 2024?

I don't really make time-sensitive goals, especially ones for the "first six months of the year."  There were some events, like Easter (cleared) and website upload (done) and workshops ad/mails (half done).  Even thinking about keeping the website going and ( Read more... )

1. Do you play any sports on a regular basis? Which?I do not. I used to be in a soccer club at my Japanese elementary school. A cool tough girl asked me to join with her. She was awesome. I was terrible. All the boys hated having me on their team. I tried to join the basketball team in JH but I would have been a bencher so I declined. All my ( Read more... )

1 Who do you know would be more likely to stress over small stuff?I think there are many definitions of what "the small stuff" is. I stress over anything I have to do that is not planned in advance, or any event I plan for the school. My hubby stresses over messes. Personally, I think that is much smaller than my issues, but to him it must be super ( Read more... )

No new questions last weekend, so here are some from the same week in 2020.

These questions were written by ahunter3.

1. Have you ever been in a hurricane or typhoon? Which one, when and where?
I've been in typhoons often. One that was memorable was in late elementary school - 5th or 6th grade, I think. It was pouring rain and my umbrella didn't make ( Read more... )

Japan has a lot of national holidays. May is a month when we have a concentration of them. Actually, it all starts on April 29th (Showa Day - I think it was the Showa Emperor's birthday), then we have May 3rd (Constitution Memorial Day), May 4th (Green Day), and May 5th (Children/Boy's Day). So those lucky workers who can get holidays on Monday and ( Read more... )

I was delayed in posting because it took me some time to organize my thoughts. I am combining last week's news with this week's.

*************April 15th******************
1. Have you ever felt a generation gap with your friends?Very rarely. As I mentioned in the previous post, I feel at home with people both younger and older than me. Differences ( Read more... )

I've reposted my dreamwidth post -

1. If you could spend 24 hours locked in a room with anyone, from any time in history (including present) or a fictional character, who would you choose?Jesus. Yup ( Read more... )

How was your New Years ( Read more... )

1) If you had to build a Christmas tree with just items around your house, what would definitely be part of it?I've seen a Christmas Tree made of books on Pinterest. That looks really nice. But... I don't think I want the hassle of having to put them all back later. Maybe plastic bottles? Since hubby uses a lot of those and we always have a bagful ( Read more... )

You may have guessed that my Valentines was not all happy. Hubby and I got into a big row after our Saturday dinner where I kind of went crazy and I am super ashamed that my kids had to witness that. There was some stress build up which I obviously let out. I wrote him a long letter after that because I didn't want to do the ignoring game he ( Read more... )
