So according to anniversary traditions, the 8th year is either bronze or pottery gifts or if you’re going modern, it’ll be lace or linen. Luckily, Jason and I are not the types who follow traditions because neither of us are really into bronze, pottery, lace, or linen. So, 8 years. Lucky number 8. My birthday is on an 8th. 8 is my favorite number too. 8 years sounds like a long time but it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. Maybe having kids distorts our perception of time. Either way, it’s been an awesome 8 years together. We’ve had 8 good, happy years andRead More →

My friend, Amber, over at Life, Love, Green is doing this monthly challenge where we share the things that we appreciate in our significant others. Since I don’t talk about Jason as much as I do about E, I thought it would be nice to share some of the things about Jason that I love so much. There are many things I love about him. One of those things is his selflessness. In fact, there is one specific moment that really sticks in my mind. This happened several years ago, before we were even engaged. Jason and I had been dating for a little overRead More →

Sometimes I wonder about Jason. He’s a very strange person and he never ceases to surprise me with the things he does. For example, today, as I began making dinner, I realized that we didn’t have any mayonnaise for the sauce I was making. Me: Jason, do you think you can go downstairs and buy some mayo? I need some for the recipe and we’re out. Jason: Sure. I’ll be right back. Several minutes later… Jason: Is THIS enough mayo? *holds a bottle of mayo up to me* Me: *stare at him, then at the mayo, then back at him* Jason: *he smiles at meRead More →

We had planned to go out to Tokyo Tower today since they have a Baskin Robbins in the small shopping area there and because we live close by. Except we ended up staying home most of the day since Jason was feeling under the weather and the three of us were a coughing mess. As we were getting ready to go out for some dinner, Jason and I had this amusing conversation (well to us anyway) Me: Aww, I wish we had gone to Tokyo Tower today. I wanted to get ice cream for daughter. Jason: Ice cream? Me: Yea, they have a 31’s there.Read More →

Another day, another random conversation. This afternoon, we were on a train that was predominantly covered in ads for HIS (the travel agency).  They are trying to promote some summer travel package for France.  I made another comment about wanting to see France which then somehow led into this conversation about the volcano in Iceland that erupted recently. If your curious about the eruption at Eyjafjallajokull (I kid you not on the name), here are a few places of interest: A news article Photos of the activity A great blog with an open letter to Eyjafjallajokull. If I were you, I’d go and check outRead More →

I admit, I don’t like fruit all too much.  Well, it’s not that I don’t like fruit, I just find the natural sugars of fruit to be too sweet for my liking.  So naturally, I don’t like fruit flavored anything, especially ice cream. It’s cherry blossom season so many restaurants and dessert places are offering sakura/cherry flavored food items.   More specifically in our case, Baskin Robbins (aka. 31 flavors) has brought back their much loved Cherries Jubilee (or as they call it here “Burgundy Cherry”). Unlike the US, Cherries Jubilee is a seasonal flavor in Japan.  It’s saddening for Jason since he loves that flavorRead More →
