Healthy diet and exercise.

I'm going to keep it up, and keep doing it the right way.

September 2007 (about 180)

August 2009 (about 155)

Slow and steady, I've lost 25 pounds, most of it in the last year. I still have a ways to go, but I am so happy with what I have achieved, looking back at pictures.

Poor Kitty.

you may not be able to tell but his bottom is all wet!
yesterday for lunch I had Tuna w/ avocado in yummy sauce (recipe soon to come) well the sauce consists of a mix of rice wine vinagar, soy sauce, and sesame seed oil, yummy but smelly. well after eating I had the bowl sitting next to me and the cat came and sat... in the bowl. Sauce all over his bum. poor guy. He was very unhappy, but even more unhappy when I had to wash his bum. oh wait it gets worse. after wash #1 bum is still icky looking, the oils are clinging to his fur. If it is still greasy by tomorrow he will get bath #2. poor kitty.

Happy 2nd Birthday Aiko! (epic picture post)

Started at the beach! what fun!

Following are some HILARIOUS pictures of Aiko eating peanut butter, AKA giant tongue dog vs. PB

Japanese Word of the day

I need to learn Japanese, lets learn together!!!

(cause i'm a dork like that)

Kawaii (ka-wa-eeeee) - cute, usually referring to clothing, food, toys, apperrance, behavior

or in my case today it was directed toward Aiko, cause she is cute!

I was walking her out front and the neighbor woman was saying 'kawaii' at her, and until just now (thanks to google & Japan Update) I had no idea what she was saying.

go find something kawaii and try out your Japanese!

google image search for Kawaii:

(moshi moshi is how japanese say hello when they answer the phone, it's only used on the phone though)

really not sure about this last one.....

Nothing Really!

Things are crazy, I am overwhelmed, I am in too deep, I am overextended in school.

I don't have time for a real post right now, but I am super excited to share that

Woot!

Andrea will be here so freaking soon!

I'll try to compose a real post if I can get my head back above water! I have a new recipe i want to share I just need to get permission first. (cause I am a good blogger) I also have some pictures, but it all has to wait. I shouldnt even be here right now I am so far behind.

Okay that is all
