This weekend felt like a very, very long weekend. Normally, I try not to post on weekends. It’s mostly because I’m trying to spend less time at the computer and more time with the family and getting the rest I need. However, this weekend….I think I just need a small break and unload my brain a little… This heat wave we’ve been getting is really horrible. Apparently, it’s one of the hottest summers that Tokyo has had ever. Of course it’s also pretty hot all over the world right now too so were all getting baked alive together…unless you live in Australia, from what IRead More →

Wow, I reached 200 posts on hamster-central with this post! Technically, I’m at 471 posts overall if you count all the posts I’ve made in my previous blog too.  Still, that’s far more than I ever thought I’d write when I first decided to jump onto the bloggy bandwagon back in 2003 🙂 So to commemorate this day, I will share with you some Q&A’s. I was recently tagged by Paige over at Life is a Phoenix.  I love it when people ask me questions because it makes me think which in turn makes me want to write 🙂 So here goes! *WARNING:  Lots ofRead More →

Amber from Life, Love, Green sent me a surprise package.  I love surprises….especially when it involves candy 🙂 mmmm, Sweetarts….I haven’t had one in ages.  In fact, I’ve already gone through more than half of what she sent me! She also sent me a few other things, including a doggie plush for E to play with 🙂  I forgot to take pictures of those since I was only thinking about the candy 🙂 Thanks, Amber!Read More →

Ah, it’s only Monday and my brain is already going barabara. What’s barabara (pronounced bah-ra-bah-ra)?  It’s a Japanese onomatopoeia that means scattered; disperse; loose; disconnected; in pieces; in drops; rustling. So, yes, my brain is currently barabara…. Let’s talk about Jason for a little bit…as an update to how he’s doing and all…. Jason’s actually doing really great. Well, not great in the way that his illness has gone away and he is back to his old self again.  No, it’s great in the way that his inflammation levels have gone up slower than before, which in Jason terms means that it’s a good signRead More →

Cereal. We all love cereal at one point in our lives, right?  Well at least I hope that everyone had once love cereal.  If you still do, that’s awesome 🙂 I love cereal.  I use to eat it all the time for breakfast because it’s quick and easy and depending on the type, it’s also a bit healthy. I was contemplating about whether or not I wanted to buy cereal when I was at the market the other day.  I ended up not buying any because the selection offered in my area isn’t that great. Typically, you can find a bit of “healthy” cereal likeRead More →

With all the crazy things going on with us, we decided we needed a break last Sunday. So what do we choose to do? We go out to Baby Disco. Ohh, yea, baby! There really is an event called Baby Loves Disco. I kid you not. In fact, it’s a worldwide thing. You can check it out at babylovesdisco.com We actually went there with the couple of families that we knew from our birthing class. We get together every so often and watch our kids grow up together. It’s pretty fun for both E and I. Anyway, Baby Loves Disco was quite an interesting experience.Read More →
