best part of japan

i know, i know. food (this is why i am so much fatter now). the sights and the stuff was cool, but i think the food was my favorite. i don't know if it was because i sort of knew a little of what to expect (in the country) or if i set myself up to be indifferent (about the country). who knows? i do know i wished my husband was with me the whole time. i missed him a lot, and i said almost everytime i stopped to eat that "pete would like this food/this place."

i appreciate ikumi, justin and sarah, and kelsey for entertaining me while i was there. also the free lodging and travel (in gem skool's car) with justin and sarah. thanks yo!

please, sarah....

i've dreamed it. i've sung it. i've tasted it. please, please, please can we go to the ninja museum in iga-ueno? i'll be your best friend...

this makes me want a baby now

i got a promo cd from work today, and it has all these songs from popular bands done up as lullabies. it sounds kind of cheesy, but they are actually quite good. soothing even. it makes me want to make babies just to have the cd. i know. i'm totally weird.

please bless...

...that i don't forget.
