I just sent out an update the other day, talking about how encouraged I was with language learning — and then the past two days have been the complete opposite. I feel tired. I feel behind. I feel like I can’t remember anything and that learning Japanese is like entering Mordor, climbing mountains and scaling [...]

This afternoon, Bryan and I went out on a “date” to talk budget — so thrilling and romantic! But for us, coffee = date, no matter what we’re talking about. We were both thoroughly pooped by the end of the THREE HOUR paper-sorting, number-crunching, money-discussing, future-planning, goal-making session. But it was extremely [...]

With four months in Japan behind us, the dust is beginning to settle. I don’t see pictures of all the “used to be’s” in my mind anymore. Being in the house with me is no longer a daily roller-coaster ride (just when I’m PMSing now — I’m sure Bryan’s glad for the reprieve!). [...]

Today was a laid-back day. I slept in till about 8, and Bryan was already downstairs making coffee. We read on the couch in our pajamas for a while, enjoying the silence and some good ole’ joe. Jones woke up at 9, and we walked in the rain to Joy Fellowship at 10 — I [...]

Its Thursday. I felt like giving a random poll. Bring me all your thoughts, good and bad, long and short.
1. Is your dining room/kitchen table clear or full of things? What’s on top?
2. What do you really enjoy about your life right now, this season of it?
3. Which makes you feel better at the [...]

The DLB (dear little blog) is in need of some revival. Due to several things (tiredness, new language, busy toddler, fried brain, not remembering English words), I’ve been having difficulty putting coherent sentences together in writing recently. I’ve had plenty of ideas and starter sentences throughout the day — “Oh, wouldn’t that make a grand [...]

Today is my first Veronica-less day, after the seriously disappointing season and series finale B and I watched last night. I’ve not much to say but I’m sad it’s over — like reaching the end of a good book and wanting to know more — but I’m glad to have my life (and regular bedtime) [...]

Want to know how I’ve been spending my oh-so-precious free time lately? I’d like to say I’ve been baking up a storm, or keeping my house meticulously clean, or visiting people’s houses, or actually putting away the clean laundry rather than letting it sit in a pile next to the dirty laundry. Obviously, you know [...]

Today, I put Jones in his crib for naptime and he laid down, looked up at me with happy eyes, and said, “Bah-bah” as he waved to me. :) As in, “Get outta here, Mom — me and my crib are gonna have some quality time. See ya when I’m done!” It’s so fun to [...]

Just as an update, I spent last week surviving the aftermath of a stomach bug and slight sinus infection (icky — but no one else got them! Thank you, Jesus!), and we spent this weekend driving to Tokyo, dropping off some stuff, seeing friends and meeting new ones, riding trains, searching for a “Big size” [...]
