We are such a diligent family!

How much is that kitty in the window? These pets were up for adoption in the Macys windows. Sooo cute. All pets should get their own little scenic corner!

Awwwww…

These boots were super cute.

As were these Betsey Johnson’s. The bottom is hot pink with Marilyn Monroe’s eye and gold hardware detailing of a bow.

After shopping and eating (no pictures), we got some pear cider! It was soooooo good.

I like this! ^_^.

There wasn’t a real way to countdown to the end of the year because nobody really know the official time…but the fireworks went off and so I assume…that was the right time. ^_^.

I love my dad

He kills huge spiders for me. Spiders that are this ____________ wide and ______________________ long and just the torso is this _________ big and round.

I was walking up to our gate from the backyard, and from the corner of my eye, I saw something black fall down from the ledge on the wall to my left and it disappeared behind the gate. So I thought…um….was that a slowly falling leaf? I shrugged it off and I stuck my hand through one of the holes in the gate to lift up the latch, and slowly opened the gate a crack, to find a HUGE black spider!!!

It was probably a black widow but I didn’t have time to ask her.

In accordance with acceptible reactions to spiders, I freaked out, yelled, ran my hands all over my body and gave myself the heebie jeebies.

And then I ran to my daddy.“eeeeEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee”

My mom gave him a paper towel and in bewilderment, I said, “This isn’t the kind of spider you can just smoosh with a hand and paper!”

By the time I showed him the monster, the spider had crawled too high for my daddy, so he used a broom and smacked it. The monstrosity fell down and its last sight was the shadow of my dad’s sandal.

The end.

Fish and Cats

I went to Kitayama lunch one day. This is what happens when you’re bored.

Ebi tails for the eyebrows.

I scooped out the pulp of the lemon and replaced it with wasabi.

Then you spread the wasabi around and peel apart the ginger so it is completely flat (no wrinkles!), and lay it around. A work of art.

Then I went to see my uncle who has had his new cat, Tigger, for about a year now. I used to live at his house while he was on vacation to take care of Tigger. I haven’t seen him in almost a year now, and he doesn’t seem to really remember me. He run up to the loft and I couldn’t find him, only to finally spot him behind the computer desk.

He used to seem more brown to me but he’s gray now. Kind of panther like!

Tired bee won’t let go of car

uhh...random!

My mom and I were in the car driving home and I noticed from the rearview mirror that something was on a window. Because I was looking at the mirror, it was a little hard to determine which window it was in, but I had to lean around before I could finally see that the thing on the window was a bee on my mom’s side. My mom tried to get the bee to fly away because she didn’t want it to be in our garage (similar to not wanting to go home if someone is following you). Tapping on the window did not scare the bee away. Driving faster made the bee cling on (cling on to what?!) even more. This was a persistent bee.

I finally had to get a bookmark that was handy and place it in front of the bee. He slowly and curiously climbed onto the bookmark and then I placed him in our own version of the “grassy knoll” (wink wink).

I think he was dying. I’ve never seen a bee so lethargic.

How does a bee’s legs stick onto slippery glass?
