When I read this article, I feel angry. How's that for an I-statement? I think it's because I have encountered so many "christian" men who are sexist. And male martial artists ( Read more... ) -
holiday recap
Well, we had a good holiday! I hope everyone else did, too. Christmas Eve went better than expected with my family. We had low to no expectations (al-anon style!) so it wasn't hard to get over our bar, lol. Christmas was really great. My mom came over and we had breakfast together and opened gifts. Then Mike, Autumn and I lounged around all day and ( Read more... ) -
hmmm
Looks like there will be a number of kids at the party. One baby. The rest will be between 5 and 12, I think. So, I believe I'll be bringing back two things that we have done at former parties--the media room and the kid room. We'll play movies in Mike's office and put a few chairs or sitting pillows in there--that can be for people either to get ( Read more... ) -

Also, is there a kind of ( Read more... ) -
help?

I want to think of something along the lines of having toasted in the new year and now we get the new year off to a perfect start surrounded by friends. Any ideas? There aren't many new year's brunch invites ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
We're going to do thanksgiving with mike's family like always. I asked my mom if we were doing anything this weekend because in the past we've gotten together on Saturday. Or she at least would let me know that they were doing Tday without me. This year I hadn't heard anything. When I asked, she told me she invited my brother and sister over to her ( Read more... ) -
I see the light!
This business thing has been incredibly consuming but the good news is that there's a light at the end of the tunnel! I've started listing things, at last. :P Right now I only have waterproof labels and return address labels but by Wednesday I should also have bag tags and note cards. Next week I am hoping to have family calling cards. Whew! Here's ( Read more... ) -

Aikido schools generally belong to associations to maintain the link between us and Japan. It's one of the cool and kinda hard things about being an aikido school ( Read more... ) -
A Dialogue
Hey, Mike, is there Animal Crossing for the DS? Can I have it for Christmas?
Uhhhhh, what?
Does that mean you got it for me already? Or that it's bad?
::silence::
I walk to my desk a few minutes later and lo and behold, there's the game.
Whoa, how long have we had this?
::silence::
Seriously.
Sharaze, you've played it ( Read more... )
