Surviving in Japan

My daughter got into making pop up cards.

Just get one of those big clothes-pins and you have yourself a smart-phone stand :))

The humid weather this summer produced some strange things in my cactus pot.

This was really nice. Hubby went on a small fishing trip, no fish but lots of yummy omiyage !

It's amazing what Japanese do while driving.
So far I've seen men or women brushing their hair, teeth-brushing, renewing of make-up, eating, drinking something, talking on their cellphone,
watching a movie and taking notes.
But the topper was a guy I saw yesterday, reading a newspaper while driving his car.
What are they trying to proove ?

Ok, I bought them, the whole set of scandal and erotic. I bought the books my mom was always trying to hide from my curious eyes.
3 books describing hard and soft limits and much more with lots of details.
I gotta tell you, it's hot !!!
You don't know what I'm talking about ? Read some reviews and you`ll be intrigued.
I have to admit that I was not too keen on reading stuff about gagging, spanking and such.
But I also admit that I, like every woman on earth ( be honest !) have phantasies.
I finished the first of three books and was surprised. Sure, there is a lot of juicy stuff but reading with an open mind I found that there is a lot more to the story and I can recommend what other would rather burn to ashes.
I will tell you more after I read the 2nd book ;p

I made my first plum cake this year.
It is very very good.

What shape ???
I am so out of it !!!
I uses to run a lot, just for fun , playing squash and badminton , now it all seems out of another life.
Having kids is wonderful but with them comes the loss of time , to read, to exercise, to do whatever you want to do.
I thought it might be a good idea to start again. 1 min running, 2 min walking and repeat that a few times.
Was able to do 3 sets........that was all I was able to do.
How very frustrating !!!!

Looks kind of interesting

A company offering appartments for monthly rent just called.

They knew I have twin boys, they knew my boys will graduate next year and they even knew my sons names !

I was close to asking where he got my number. Next time he calls I will ! 

Who is selling telephone lists ? If I knew who I`d go and rip that persons nose off !

Nothing but rain

I had to take my daughter some place and while waiting for her I started to walk around a bit.
I seldom visit that part of the city and was pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful quiet Japanese park right inside the city.
There are the most gorgeous trees and flowers as well as lots of birds and squirrels.
I promised myself to visit this place more often.

For about one month now I have been walking, twice a week for about an hour.
I am sure it is good for me but I would love to see some change in my weight or otherwise.
Nada :((

It's been really cold here, the city I live in is rather famous for its bad weather.
But finally some warmer days have passed and plants are starting to awake. I love the colors !

Wow, my problem might be solved.
I downloaded a new app for my iPhone and am trying it as we speak.
Wish me luck !!
