The weekend

Was super fun and apparently extremely exhausting!!! lol I'm wicked tired for some reason but I really should be doing my PSYC homework. I'd like to do it as early as possible since Michelle and I start Japanese tomorrow. Soooo.... let's see. Friday was uneventful. Michelle, Gian, and I had already planned on going to go to the Asamushi Aquarium Saturday morning so... Here's an overview.

Saturday: We were planning on leaving at 0930 and we were going to go to the ATM and get yen and everything. So the night before I set my alarm for 0700... and 0710... and 0730... AND I asked my sister to call me at 0800 to make sure I was up. So what happens? I wake up to the doorbell ringing at 0930 (yeah... thanks Desiree :p) I bolt out of bed and run to get the door. I open it and very sheepishly announce to Michelle that I slept through ALL my alarms and that I would only be a minute. (Good thing I showered Friday night) So I rush around and get ready and then we head out. We get on the road a full half hour late. Yeah... I felt like an asshole. They're super cool though so they only made fun of me a little. :D

So we get to the aquarium and we were given little flyers that show everything we can see and we saw that the Jumping Dolphins show was starting. So we go over to the theater and it is PACKED. It was about 1130. So we talked about what to do and just decided we would catch the 1300 showing. So we walked around. It was quite a small aquarium but it had a lot of really cool, really strange, and really ugly things. (I'll post a few pictures below) So we saw pretty much everything including the Jumping Dolphin show and the Sea Otter feeding show (they're super cute by the way). We got a couple videos of the dolphins and the sea otters as well as some of the sea lions (including one where a sea lion was chasing it's own tail, it was rather amusing.) So here, enjoy some random out of order pictures with no captions. :D











So there was the Asamushi Aquarium.

After that we went back to my house so I could pick up some stuff and stay at their place. We went and hung out there a while and then we headed to a Chinese restaurant that I can't remember the name of. It was pretty good. The only problems I had was the lack of stuff in the fried wontons (they had like tiny pieces of chicken in the very corner) and the fact that they were pricey. But the food was yummy. After we ate we went back to their house and played some poker and scrabble. We played poker first. Two games, the first game Michelle won and the second one I won. Then Gian won at scrabble (by like... a lot lol). Then we watched Scrubs and passed out.

Sunday: We woke up and bummed around watching more Scrubs. Then we finally got up and went to the commissary (which was super crowded and lame) and then I dropped my stuff off at home really quick and they dropped me off at the theater where I met up with Peggy and FINALLY watched Star Trek... and it was EFFEN AWESOME!!! I would have sat straight through a second showing if there was one! We've pretty much decided to see it again. Maybe I can understand more of what Chekov is saying. :p Srsly... that movie rocks. Go see it. (Yeah, you too Danielle and Michelle!! lol)

So now I'm going to do some homework since I start Japanese tomorrow. I'll try and do cleaning too. So... later!

Awww... :(

No Star Trek today. Our plans got ruined so we're going on Sunday... I stayed home, finally cleaned my kitchen (WOOT!) and watched a butt load of That '70s Show.

Hmmmm... Well, sorry about the baby post but that was like all I did today. So... later.

YAYNESS!!!!

I drove the Subaru!!! And aside from the fog, the being too far from the pedals, the intitial problems we had at first from the car being stationary, the having to move from parking lot to parking lot, the cotton mouth, and the feelings of nausea I think I did pretty well. :p Srsly though.

I'm really glad I met all these great people who are willing to get in a stick shift with me and get headaches and whiplash. Michelle and Gian took me out tonight. They were awesome. Gian totally digs the car. :D This weekend (I think) he's going to help me check the brakes and help me fix the lever that moves the driver's seat forward and back. And tonight he even filled the tires with air and checked my oil. So Michelle, Gian... you guys kick ridiculous amounts of ass!

But I'm tired so I shall blog later.

Plan for tomorrow:
STAR TREK, BABY, YEAH!!!! :D :D :D

Past few days update

Sorry! I was going to blog "yesterday" (technically the day before but I'm going to say yesterday) but for some reason my browsers weren't working for me.

So anyway, yesterday I got up at like 9 something or 10 and got ready, talked to Sky for a bit and then Michelle came and picked me up at 11. We went to the BX and she bought Twilight and then we went to this awesome beach and laid out for an hour. Then we ran to the commissary to get the last things for dinner. After that we headed back to her house where we met up with Gian (her husband) and we all got ready and went to the pool where he proceeded to kick my ass (he was a swimmer in high school and is in really good shape, I on the other hand am none of the above). After I inhaled about 2 gallons of pool water (all through my nose) we finally left and headed back to their house where Michelle cooked for us. We then had cookies and watched Twilight. (Oh I read the first book the day before) Then they dropped me off at home.

Today I woke up and was trying to snooze when my phone rang. It was Peggy and she told me she was bringing me breakfast. I am getting pretty spoiled! :D After I had breakfast and we talked a while I did a little homework and then I went to the club to get my permit. Then I headed to the post office and ended up having a ton of packages so I called Michelle to see if she'd be willing to help me out and if she wanted to hang out afterward. So she and Gian came and picked me up and we ended up going back to their house (after a quick trip to the commissary) and the fed me again. I love going over there! Seriously, they ALWAYS have three course meals. They're both such good cooks. I think the next meal is going to be Michelle's chili. Mmmm... I'm like a perfect help for them because Michelle hates tossing food and I'm there to help ensure it all gets eaten. :D Mmm... After dinner I taught them to play Texas Hold 'em (although we'll have to do that again with actual poker chips) and then we played Scrabble. Michelle won both games. She made sure to rub it in too! ;) Anyway, I'm tired and talking to Sky so I'll update with more later.

Some randomness...

Let's see...

I read Twilight, Michelle dropped by to give me the second book so I guess I'll start that when I go to bed tonight. Tomorrow we're going to watch the movie, go swimming, and then have dinner.

I've just been working on school other than that. There's been a package of mine at the post office for a while that I've been too lazy to get. I'm going to get a second notice here in a few days so I'll see if I can pick that up tomorrow maybe.

This term is almost over and the next one is almost starting. I'm excited to start Japanese. Plus, I'm going to make Michelle be my gym buddy! We're going to try and figure out a schedule. I'm thinking three days weight training and three days swimming. Maybe I'll wait to add actual heavy cardio until I get good bras. Desiree is going to be getting them for me but it is still going to be a few more weeks I think.

In psychology right now I'm reading about psychological disorders and I just have to say whoever named the phobia of long words hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia was a sick bastard. :p I mean srsly. That's not very nice. They can't even tell people about it! Although I have to admit I was amused there is a name for people who have a phobia of peanut butter sticking to the roof of their mouths. It's called arachibutyrophobia. I wouldn't think that was very common but apparently it is common enough to have a name.

I did some cleaning and some homework today and I'll do some more tomorrow. But I think I'm too tired to do homework now. So... deuce.

Saving grace...

I miss my husband so incredibly much! I know I'm being kind of a girl but I wish I could go see him. To make things worse there are a lot of spouses there visiting now and although he knows that I would go in a heartbeat he also knows why I can't. But I really want to. And of course now I'm being like this huge girl because he sent me the this video on youtube and told me he was going to learn it and play it for me... yeah... I cried. :s

Moving on from the depressing stuff... I went to Peggy's last night for a BBQ and luckily no one thought I was an infant. I kind of just stuck around with Peggy and her neighbors (who I totally dig) so it wasn't like I was hanging out with a bunch of randomers.

We had fun. We had some food. Hade some sake. Had some conversation. It was cool. Now I need to finish the last bit of homework I have for this week and clean my house for like three days straight because it is wrecked. I haven't mopped in longer than I'd like to admit. :p

Oh... and Saving Grace? Sky will understand. ;)

**YAWN**

I'm tired and don't feel good. I have two questions left on this quiz but I just cannot bring myself to answer them yet. Luckily it isn't due till Sunday.

Man, I've just been off my rocker the past couple of days. I've been all crazy and hormonal... I really feel bad for my hubby. I really hope I can find a way to control my craziness before we have kids. :s

Peggy told me about a job opening at the Misawa Inns but I think I'm going to try and get my license first. Plus with that and school and me trying to get into a workout routine I don't want to over do it. So we shall see. I'll keep you updated with that.

I'm tired and hungry and ate like four nutter butters today.

And I know I'm totally late but I'm stoked that Shawn Johnson won Dancing With The Stars!

That is all...

I fail...

:( I screwed up so I'm going to start all over with the working out thing. I guess I'm just putting too much emphasis on trying to get there around the same time. I don't know, we'll see. I'd like to go ahead and add swimming to the mix, my uncle bought me a suit so hopefully it will be sufficient for laps. If not there are these awesome suits at Sports Authority but they're like $100 so I'll definitely have to discuss that with Sky. But they're awesome. They're pretty much like this except they're two piece and much cuter. And the one I want zips all the way up the front. Plus I don't think that during laps my butt will pop out. But we'll see how this suit I have. It's cute though so even if it doesn't work for laps I'll just have two suits to swim for fun in which is cool.

Anyway, still no word on my lost items. I went and replaced the socks but there were no erasers and there was only a huge mermaid and I wasn't sure if my MIL would want that one so I'm thinking I'll just wait for the key chain sized one. If next time I go they don't have a key chain one though maybe I'll just get her the big one if she wants it. (Well do ya? :p)

I'm tired and gotz homeworkz. So... bai.

Aww :(

Totally disappointed. Michelle and I went to the beach to look for seashells (and starfish) and because it was so damn windy out yesterday we were pretty sure there would be a ton of stuff washed on shore... yeah, we were wrong. It was SO bare! We each got like three things and that's it. It was lame. Oh well at least we walked around. I got some more good pictures, the waves were crazy. Anyway, after that I came home and talked to Sky for a bit.

I'm feeling kind of down for pretty much no reason. I've been slacking on the working out and I haven't been eating very healthy. Actually Peggy and I went to McDonalds and met a crazy old Japanese guy. He was doing magic tricks. That was by far the weirdest thing that's happened. It was pretty uncomfortable too. :s

Anyway, I really need to be productive, either do more homework or clean or work out some. Late.

Well...

2 out of 3 isn't so bad, right? lol I went to the gym and I did *some* homework and *some* cleaning. So I consider it two out of three. Shut up, don't judge me.

Anyway, I got a sign at the Pony Plaza that says "This is an American home/Run Japanese Style/Please take off your shoes/And stay a while" or something. The Pony Plaza is awesome, I'm going to have to get most people a couple items from there.

Michelle and I went to the Arts and Crafts Annex to get a custom frame for her wedding photo that had matting around it that everyone signed. Then we went to UMUC so she could pick up the Japanese book we'll need for the summer term. Which is cool because my uncle bought mine for me so if mine doesn't get here right away I can just share with her. :D After that stuff we were going to go over to this lady's house and check out some jewelry she makes and I fell in love with a pair of earrings so I'll have to go back and visit her again sometime. Michelle bought some earrings though(she's a TOTAL jewelry junkie.) When the lady gets her website up and running I'll be checking that out though and probably sending the link to my mother in law because I think she would really like everything.

Anyway Michelle and I are probably going to go to the mall on Wed so she can get a swim suit and I can replace the stuff I lost since no one has called about it.

Well "I'm le tired."

lolz

Sooo...

Today was somewhat productive...ish... Michelle and her husband came over and we were going to rearrange the storage unit and hook up my printer (finally). In my "passport" I had a thing for a free pizza from the Mokuteki so I figured they could help me eat it. And! I was very good. I got salad so that I wouldn't eat too much pizza. I still had two peices though, I really need to work on that some. lol Anyway, we ate and then we didn't feel like doing anything so we were going to watch a movie but decided we should hook up the printer first so we did that. The storage unit will have to wait for another day (again lol).

We were going to watch a movie that they had gotten from netflix and had brought over but when I heard they hadn't seen Super Troopers I could not let them live another day without seeing it. So we watched that instead. Of course they thought it was awesome, because that movie rocks.

Earlier in the day though I went to the BX and got some pimp running shoes half off! Dad would be so proud. :D They're awesome. They're Adidas. It's funny because I saw them on display and I was looking for black shoes or mostly black shoes (since I eff white ones up ridiculously fast) and they were the only ones there. There were only four boxes on the shelves two size 5's, one 5 1/2, and one 12 1/2. I wear a 6 1/7 - 7 usually. So I went and asked an employee if they had anymore. Since they were on clearance and being phased out those were the only ones. So for the hell of it I decided to try on the 5 1/2. My friend Peggy who was with me was saying I was crazy and would never fit them. I explained to her depending on the shoe I can wear anywhere from a 5 to a 7 1/2. She kept saying I had small feet "but not that small!" I slipped them on, and sure enough they fit PERFECTLY! lol She was shocked. I was too a bit. But yeah, I was all over that. Now I just need some bras (chop chop Desiree) and I'll be in business. I really need to lose fat and that's the best way to do it (right?). lol I don't know, I'm pulling the working out business out of my ass. :p

Anyway: awesome shoes and groceries and nothing at the post office. After that Peggy dropped me off at home and I talked to my hubby and then to my uncle for quite some time. I finally gave him the address to my blog. I hadn't earlier because I really didn't know what I was going to blog about or how committed I would be to it. Plus, sometimes I get a little inappropriate, lol I already warned him about that and told him not to tell my dad. :p Eh, most of my inappropriate stuff is in my quotes anyway so it isn't really me being inappropriate. So that doesn't count right? ;)

Anyway, talking to my baby. He's mad about poker so I'm going to wrap this up.

Tomorrow I need to:
GYM
CLEAN MY KITCHEN (the entire thing! clean out the fridge, mop, dishes, counters etc)
DO HOMEWORK

:D :( X( GRRRRRRRR YAY

Confusing, eh? Well listen to my day...

In the morning I woke up and hung out on the computer for a bit. Then I went and waited for Michelle to come get me so I could go with her to the kennel. That all went pretty well, we got everything done. Few bumps in the road. Whatev, everything is dandy. We finish our shift, she drops me off at home so we can both shower. I talk to Sky for a bit then shower than she and her husband come and get me and we go to the mall (again) and had Pepper Lunch (again, but srsly, if you had it you would do the same) and then went and shopped around.

I got my fork and cup for my Nightmare bento set from one store and then I had a different bag that I had gotten from one of those little vendors in the middle of the mall where I bought two ridiculously awesome pairs of Nightmare socks. I had also bought the stationary store out of Nightmare erasers and a gift for my mother in law at another vendor (a mermaid voodo doll key chain type thing) and I had put both of those in the bag with my socks... well... I F*(#ING lost it... Yup, just, gone... :( *cries* I didn't feel it fall, didn't hear it, don't remember setting it down. I'm so upset. We left Michelle's number with the lady at information with a description of the bag and all the contents of it (she spoke REALLY good English, by the way) so hopefully someone turns it in and they call.

Well after that, trying not to think about it too much I kept my plans with my key spouse. She and I went to the "Party Light" party and that was pretty cool. There are some things I like so I'm going to survey the house and try and figure out where I'm trying to go with it so maybe I can add some new pretty things. After that we ran by her house to check on everything and make sure the kids were asleep and didn't give the sitter too much trouble. Her doggy was all up in my face and when depression stikes puppy love is definitely helpful to the healing process... And you know what else is? Pineapple + Malibu + Comedians = Less unhappy
We saw Alex Ortiz and I can't remember the other guys name. Which makes me feel bad. It was fun. One of my favorite jokes was Alex talking about some of the times you said "Oh, God" and one of them was when the cable went out you would think "Oh, God... Now I gotta talk to this bitch." I cracked up at that. OOOOOH!!!! And before I forget they played freaking HANDLEBARS by the Flobots while we were waiting for the first comedian to take the stage. I was freaking out! I've only ever heard that at Justin's (since he was the one who introduced us to it) and our house or our car. I have to make friends with that couple. The wife is AD and she's on the radio but she's also the DJ for the club (I guess part time?) and her husband is a personal trainer. They seem like cool people. Especially since she played that song! :D

I'm still sort of depressed because now I can't get a hold of Sky. So I think I'm going to go take out my contacts and get ready for bed.

Woot woot!!!

I GOT APPROVED FOR $6,000.00 FOR FINANCIAL AID!!!!!! *does super uber happy dance*
Granted this is spread out across my entire AA but it's still awesome! I also got STAP for the summer semester so I'm going to take three classes since now I have the financial backing for it. :D I'm just trying to decide whether I should take Child Psychology or Introduction to Counseling. I guess it depends on what the advisor says when I call back. I'd accidentally left off Intro to Counseling so if I have to go through the hassle of getting my plan approved again I'm just going to do Child Psych. I believe I will find both to be interesting.

Anyway, sorry I've been a crappy blogger. I've been trying to be awesome at everything and failing at it. I'm doing fairly well in PSYC right now and I've been to the gym for like two weeks now! Also I've been hanging out with Michelle and Peggy a lot. Worry not, blogging isn't the only thing that has suffered at the expense of my social life. I really need to clean my house. :s lol

Anyway, tomorrow I'm volunteering at the kennel than Michelle and her hubby are going to come by and we're going to re-arrange my storage unit and they're going to store the box their "super sweet" TV came in with my stuff since it won't fit in they're storage area at their place. I don't know how long that will take but we'll probably hang out for a while afterward.

Then, at about six, my key spouse and I are going to this "lighting party" which I guess is like a tupperware party except with candels so that'll be cool. Maybe whoever sells them will have beeswax candels because I haven't been able to find them here. Then after that we're going to this comedy night at the club. So hopefully those bastards are funny. I'm paying $25 so I better laugh my ass off! :p I'm so cheap. lol

Speaking of cheap, before the summer term starts I'll be heading over to one of the ¥100 stores for some fun supplies. I already got a Nightmare pencil bag that I will be using inside my Nightmare messenger bag! :D I'm such a nerd. But an awesome one. :p Yeah I just need to get some awesome Japanese pencils, erasers, pens, notebooks, and folders. Srsly. Everything is so much cooler here. You should see the sponge aisle... Mmmkay... those of you who haven't been to Japan probably think I'm crazy by being amused by sponges but I'll take pictures and post them. They're all adorable.

Alrighty... I'm tired and I should try and do something productive (sitting on the couch is productive right? :p) Whatev.

"And some huge meteorite is like 'well, fuck that.'"

And if you don't know what that is

Yup!

Definitely back to my old self! :D :D :D

Went to the gym again. Got tore up again. I think my butt is getting bigger though! :D I'm sure that's TMI for some of you but whatev. :p

Not too much else is going on. We had to order another curtain panel for our living room because I must have added the measurements wrong. Anyway, the curtains didn't cover the entire area. So since we had to order another panel we decided to go ahead and get the curtains for the other bedroom. We wanted to get the mink brown ones but they didn't have that so we went ahead and got blue.

Next things we need:

Bedding for both rooms
Coffee table/end tables
Mirror
Inexpensive decoration stuff (vases, baskets, fake flowers because I kill real ones... etc)
A few rugs
And a roman shade for the stupid window up front that has a screen on the inside :s

Then we'll be mostly done with the house until we move back to the states and hopefully get to start replacing our funiture (and mattress).

That is all.

So I was a total A-hole and bought ALL the clip rings they had at the BX right under Michelle. But I think I redeemed myself because she got her curtains today and I helped her hang them.

In other news I think I may be back to my normal self. :D I was able to eat my chimi at Mike's (the really good "Tex-Mex" place right off base) and today I finished ALL of my Pepper Lunch and after walking around a bit was even able to have Baskin Robins afterward. Mmmm... awesome.

I did my work out for today at home since PEGGY FLAKED! *gasp* But I think she worked out at home. And today was the one slide! I ...p-r-o-m-i-s-e? lol...

K... effen tired.

First and foremost, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY LADIES!!!!

A special shout out to the important moms in my life. My own mother, of course. Who is a wonderful woman that I love and miss! My amazing mother in law who is epic and fantastic. And of course my ridiculously cool Kimmie who should totally come visit me. :D

And second of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY! (My mom is old now. :p)

Now... I'm pretty sure there is something terribly wrong with me. Peggy and I went to McDonalds and I... I... are you ready for this?? I COULDN'T FINISH MY MEAL! *GASP!* I only ate about half my teriyaki burger (which is small to begin with) and like 1/4 of my fries. I know there are some of you who don't really know me but for those of you that do, you know that is insane... Srsly... I think I might be dying. :s

My mission tomorrow is to go to Pepper Lunch and try and eat all of my food. If I can't do that and my appetite doesn't come back in the next two days I'm going to make an appointment. Seriously. I love food. "This will not stand, man." (The Dude AKA Jeffery Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) The big Lebowski *that counts as your quote of the day.)

K... of to try and eat something.

Home again...

***First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY G!!! I can't believe you are ONE!!! I can't wait to see you! Course, you have no idea how to read yet so your mommy will have to show you this later...***

Mmmmmkay....
Just got back from Michelle's place. I went to see her "barbie" couch. It's perfectly sized for little people like myself though! :p Very comfy. I just checked it out and then came home. I haven't been feeling great today. I didn't even have seconds at the BBQ. Boy was Peggy surprised! lol We actually got the opportunity to spend some more time with her neighbors who are very cool. I met their children for the first time (I had met them and their dog breifly on a previous occasion) and boy if I didn't already have baby fever I sure would now! Their kids are RIDICULOUSLY well behaved. It was insane. I want to take lessons from those two. Also their house was just gorgeous so I'm going to have to pick up tips on decorating too. :D

Plan for tomorrow: Gym, beach, homework!

That is all for now. I need to pass out.

"Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must."

Update

Because I'm way too tired to think of an interesting title.

First, here are some pictures from the beach that Michelle and I went to.






I know it's kind of blurry but that dog was one of the funniest dogs evar. Very cute too. He was just a riot. He would chase stuff into the ocean and go grab it. He was so well behaved. I wanted to steal him.... Then again I want to steal every shepherd I see because I miss my Sasha-bear and my Bella-face. I haven't seen any doggies that remind me of Bella though... hmm... anyway...

I've been going to the gym with Peggy. She's so bored since she quit her job that she's been bugging me constantly. It's good though. My whole body is killing me! I think I'm going to start doing what Sky suggested though. Lighter weights, more reps. So we'll see how that goes and hopefully soon I can get my suit and Peggy, Michelle, and I can all go to the pool.

Yesterday I volunteered at the kennel again. The later shift is so much more relaxed! There is paperwork but as soon as people get the hang of it it doesn't seem like it would take too long...

As far as the house goes, I got my curtains (YAY!) and my room divider thing (YAY!) so now I need clip rings to put the curtains up. My house is still just sort of a random collection of stuff. We need to start making it a little more cohesive. We definitely need to get rid of our coffee table. It doesn't go with ANYTHING. I think that might be something we decide when Sky gets back though. I'll just have to deal with it for now.

Anyway, I need to eat and shower and all that good stuff. Peggy is having a BBQ today so I'm going to go to that.

Stuph

So lately I've just been doing some school work and hanging out with some people. I volunteered with Michelle at the kennel and got peed on by a corgi. That wasn't very fun. I've decided that working at the kennel on Sunday's sucks. They're actually closed or "by appointment only" so we're in there doing basically the same thing except a LOT MORE CLEANING. Ick. Whatev.

After we worked at the kennel we went back to Michelle's and her husband had made us dinner (mmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!! Srsly, delicious). He didn't just make some food either, he made a meal. He had this huge salad, the main course was pork loins with this balsamic vinaigrette glaze, salt and peppered green beans, and orzo which is pasta that looks like long grain rice, then we had a chocolate creme pie and strawberries. They bought the pie but everything was still yummy! Mmmmm.... goodness.

Then yesterday Michelle and I went to the beach and walked around. We took some pictures (which I will get up here soon) and picked up a bunch of shells. We're going to schedule a time to go back and go specifically for shell hunting. I'm excited. They're so cool. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do with all of them. Anyway, that's pretty much it.

^_________^

Couches are officially in house. They are incredible. I'm half tempted to sleep on the couch tonight! lol I probably won't but they are really comfortable.

Michelle and her husband came over tonight and we watched Office Space and had brownies. Good times. We actually used eggs from the egg vending machine. :D Then they hung out a while and talked.

Tomorrow Michelle works practically all day so I might go in with her for one of her shifts. Anyway, that's about all.

was funish.

The night before I stayed at Peggy's and we watched "Bride Wars" and had some berry (?) sake. Then we slept. I woke up in the morning not knowing where the hell I was (not due to the sake... or at least I don't think so.) but then I figured it out. So we got up at nine-something and had to be at BK before ten to get breakfast croissanwiches. So we hurry up and get ready and head to base and when we get there WE get selected for a random search. Where they pretty much made us pull over to this adorable twelve-year-old looking cop who wanted to make sure all of Peggy's paperwork was current since we had that road tax thing a week or so ago. The entire time we're like talking about how we MUST get to Burger King and he is just cracking up and finally tells us to go. lol He must have thought we were nuts. Anyway, we got some food and then stopped by the furniture store to set up delivery for my new couches (f*ck, yeah!) and then we decided to go out to the beach. So we pretty much drove around aimlessly until we hit water. But here are some beach photos. I think we were at Miss Veedol's beach.

We had to drive through this cool little forest to get to the beach.

We went up on this tower to take pictures. We were going to go all the way to the top but the wind was WAY too strong.



Here's the forest from the tower


So anyway, after we did that we went back to Peggy's and watched Lost in Translation. Then we went to this great little park where they had all these pretty lamps that were pink for the cherry blossoms. I wish we would have gone there earlier. Our cherry blossoms probably died a little early because we got this like freaking snow storm like a week or so ago. Anyway, here are some pictures of the park and then some of the cherry blossoms on base (I got those ones a couple days ago.) And some of the cherry blossoms while there was snow on the ground (this was the next morning so it had melted A LOT)

Here are some of the lamps in the park

All the tiny petals they shed

Me in the petals

The lamps again

Here they are with the snow





And last but certainly not least, the dalmatian bus and the fresh egg vending machine.





So that's that. :D
