Oh yeah, hello
Oh yeah, I have this journal, that I seem to keep neglecting even though I'm paying for it, but no one reads or cares, so why should I?
So, what's happened in this last month? Not much. I haven't been motivated to sit down and write about a bunch of nothing. I'd much rather mindlessly scroll through Tumblr and reblog random pictures of girls with afros or yaoi.
Let's see, I've been working a lot. Too much, but our honeymoon is 3 days away, so I suppose it's all worth it...maybe.
I took another step into adulthood and got a credit card. A MasterCard Silver. Guess the next thing would be to get a mortgage. But that won't be happening for some time. I'm a bit nervous to have a credit card because I am a bit of an impulsive buyer (especially when it comes to traveling) and having access while on my honeymoon in Japan and South Korea gives way to a lot of temptation. However, while I am an impulsive buyer, I am also very levelheaded when it comes to finances and I would never put myself into a bind or serious debt. To be honest, I'm petrified of money, so while I'm nervous, I'm confident that this would only be used for emergencies and would be paid off so I don't go into even more debt than I already owe thanks to student and health bills back Stateside debt.
What else? Well, adding to my passion for pumpkin I found spiced pumpkin soup in a jar. I'm always a bit reluctant to buy "ready-made" food or stuff in a box, or jar, or can because call me a food snob, but I'd rather make everything myself. Add as much or as little as I want, feel each ingredient in my fingers, work my shoulder muscles stirring something myself. Anyways, while the soup was a bit of a disappointment, it was pretty tasty. I might have to buy it again and add some stuff into it next time.
Must say I wouldn't think to use turmeric, but then why not? I've made pumpkin curry before and I put turmeric there. But like I said, it was still lacking something. I have to experiment and figure out what it could be.
Hmmm, Eero and I celebrated 8 years of tolerating each other. We thought that it's nice to still recognize our first anniversary, even though our new anniversary is in the summer. We went to a really cute Japanese/Korean fusion restaurant. I'm trying to expose Eero to as much food as possible so he's not completely taken by surprise when we leave. He had yakitori (chicken skewers) and of course he loved it. Hopefully he can eat some other stuff so he's not just eating yakitori all the time. And they don't really have that in Korea so.... But we had a really nice evening and it was a nice prelude to our upcoming trip, IN 3 DAYS!!!
Eero's parents' dog, Kuma, also stayed a week with us. It's always an annoying joy to take care of him, though I'm the one who gets stuck with the early morning walks.
Oh yeah, it snowed today. I can't believe it!! Or then maybe I can, we are in the North Pole after all. So maybe my favorite time of year will have a thick blanket of white waiting for us when we get back??
So that's about it. I'm working nights until we leave in hopes that I would be able to get onto Japanese time better, but that thought sorta bit me in the ass because we still have sooooo much stuff to do before we leave. Oh well, what gets done gets done and what doesn't can wait then. /ode to procrastination.
