Wordless Wednesday!

"Mmmmm...tasty!" A mid-morning snack.

A Korean New Year's Party

Our neighbors invited us over for a Korean New Years Party. We were so excited because we have been wanting to get together with our new friends for a while. So we received an invitation and when we showed up, they had a sign welcoming us and our other neighbors to the night. They all love Asher dearly, so he got quite a bit of attention. Myung Hee had prepared a traditional feast for us, some sushi with tuna, japanese noodles, delicious Korean beef and a rice creation that was delicious.

Afterward's they showed us some of their home videos from their trip to Europe and we made plans to hang out again. It was so exciting to make new friends, and not only that but new friends from another culture. I am grateful to the Kim's for inviting us into their world.

A Valentine's Day Adventure

So after being wisked away in my black satin dress, my night and shining armor, looking debonair in his black suit and tie, surprised me with an exotic restaurant visit, where we ate all my favorite foods, sushi, lobster, shrimp, cheesecake and more. After a night of romantic dancing, a reading of sonnets and the most passionate kisses, my man was walking me to our luxury accomadations for the night, when out of the dark shadows came three men asking him to give me over. "Over my dead body" he cried with passion. And with that, they began to brawl, three to one. I shreked as I watched my love get hit from the right, and from the left, when suddenly the fight took a new turn. My Joshy began to pull out moves I have never seen before, not even on tv. And within a matter of minutes, the three evil men were lying on the pavement crying out for their mothers. My hero was hurt. And we had to get him checked out. The night ended with a red cast on this hand symbolizing his courageous moments and I, in love as ever, took my hero home to tend to his wounds.

Okay, so you probably have figured out already that this is a farce. I wish it were that romantic and believe me, so does he. But simply put, my man broke a bone in his hand playing basketball the night of Valentine's Day. And the cast is only red because the doctor messed up and didn't look at the color before opening the package of fiber glass. I think it looks cute, but don't tell him that, he just wants to hear manly!!! I love you Josh, this is just adventure #81 to go down in the books :).

"Embrace your weirdness" week!

I took this survey to see how normal I was on Michelle's sight and I came out 45% normal and they said...
While some of your behavior is quite normal...
Other things you do are downright strange
You've got a little of your freak going on
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself
How Normal Are You?

I've always had a weirdness. I thought it was just a phase I would go through but I never could quite shake it. We all go through it, I'm sure. I wondered if I was normal, if I ever measured up, if anyone would ever like me, if anyone out there ever feels the same. We all have quirkiness, but I really do think it's a beautiful thing, don't you? I think we all need to embrace it.

EMBRACE YOUR WEIRDNESS WEEK: IN LIGHT OF VALENTINE'S DAY!

Being this week is Valentine's week, let us all be good to ourselves and embrace our wonderful weirdness. I am going to embrace it by telling you some wierd things about myself, I expect you to do the same, I wanna hear five weird things about you!

1. I enjoy picking my nose (with toilet paper, of course) when no one is looking
2. I sing the national anthem in the shower on a regular basis, I'm just warming up for my debut someday.
3. I am so embarrassed of my chubby toes
4. I make back-up plans for every kind of situation (used to be out of fear, now it's just habit)
5. One of my favorite things to do is to eat ice cold fudge bars in the hot steamy shower.
