Sayonara Golden Week

It's official. Golden Week is over. I go back to work tomorrow. Blah. The good news is is that it's only a 3-day work week. Then it's the weekend again- so, yay! I think I can handle that. Maybe. Just maybe.
~I received 1,000 yen coupon today from San-A. I never thought I'd see the day! Hahaha! Oh, San-A. Thanks for the extra $10, after the $1,000 Robin and I put into you! Hahahaha!
~Jacob's Creek is delicious (thank you, Joshua).
~I went to bed at 4am last night. It may look that way again tonight. As long as I'm running by 10am, everything will be ok. Does this post make any sense to anyone else other than me? If not, I apologize. It'll be better tomorrow, when there's little to no alcohol in my system.
My absolute favorite song right now is: Flashdance...What A Feeling.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Snack Bar now has a whole new meaning. Never will those two words mean the same thing they once did when I lived in the States. In fact, if you ever mention Snack Bar to me again, I will have to think about what it is you mean. Kind of like ping-pong (thanks to Thailand).

~~Happy Cinco de Mayo! Or if you're in Japan, Happy Children's Day! I don't really know what that means. But all the Japanese Holidays make themselves known to me via cell phone.

Tomorrow is my last day of vacation from work. Golden Week has ended and this makes me sad. I think I forgot how to do my job...

W.I.P.

...Works in Progress...

Re-occurring Dream

So, I keep having these re-occurring dreams of returning to the States without fulfilling my one-year contract in Okinawa. I've had this dream now countless times. It's one of the most uncomfortable ways to sleep during the night because I end up leaving Japan without telling anyone with so much unfinished business (such as leaving money here in my bank account, still having phone and Internet service, etc). The dreams feel so, incredibly real, it's scary. I wouldn't be surprised if I have this dream again tonight or many nights thereafter.

On another note, I do love the new location of my bed. The sun shines so brightly, directly into my face at 7am every morning. I'll close the curtains tonight.

Less is More

I'm afraid I have to cut myself off for the next 6 days. No more shopping, drinking or doing anything else that involves spending money. Why? Because I have no more. ~C'mon Pay Day!~

Happy Birthday, Matt!

Yay! Today is Brother Matty's Birthday. I love you, Matthew. Happy Birthday to you!

So, last night Stevo and I went out to Commune, American Idol, and Ole. I drank quite a bit. But, miraculously, no hang-over this morning! Amazing. God does love me.

My absolute favorite drink of all time- hands down- is the Grasshopper (had it for the first time last night). Has anyone else had this drink? It tastes exactly like a Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie. ~Orgasmic.~ I'm in love.

Happy May Day!

Today= Gym, Relaxation, Cooking, Painting, Reading, Laundry, Dancing, Nip/Tuck, Sex & the City, Vodka (new concoction: Georgia and Vodka- so good), San-A and Oroku Jusco.

I was the only one at the gym this morning with an i-Pod. Am I that out-of-date? Just because the machines have TVs and video games on them doesn't mean I appreciate the entertainment value as much as (perhaps) I should. Why does everything around here have to be Japanese? Sometimes I really do live in my own little world.

I received another book in the mail today...the 2nd book I've received in less than two weeks. Now I have 102 books to read...

Happy May Day! May is my favorite month of the whole year! I am happy.

Thank you for reading.
