Third Culture Kid(s)

In a word, wonderful.
Since we’re not joining the ranks of the turn-off-your-TV crowd anytime soon, I have to say that we love it.  When M. found out that that’s what we were getting for Christmas, he got giddy.  M.  Got giddy.  Y’all don’t know him, but one thing he doesn’t generally do is “giddy.”  He […]

Apparently, they’re taking out the only elevator at M.’s station (the one near the house) from now until February. The next closest station is a pain in the butt to get to, and takes longer to boot. Pffffffft. The “modernized” elevator had better have a transporter device or something.

BP: good.
Diss: well, I did some helpful reading yesterday while M. was keeping an eye on MM, so that’s something. I keep kind of hoping that the piece of crap I will inevitably send to the diss group on Friday will get me booted, although M. pointed out that it will probably read more […]

MM spent half of last night wandering around in circles saying “Sesame Street was brought to you today by the number…” (no number included).  Over and over and over.
Sigh.

I know that I flubbed Nanopoblo by missing a few days here and there, but I thought I’d keep everyone up to date on things here.
Although, honestly, not much is up.  Which is good.  I spent part of yesterday afternoon fretting about 2.0’s quietness, but he was apparently saving it up for last night.  Jack […]

Well, add PUPPP (Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy) to my list of things that are currently making three weeks seem like an eternity. I’ve got helpful people telling me not to scratch, and I’m using hydrocortizone cream, but my stomach itches anyway and the scratching feels goooood. For at least 10 […]

Well, based on the ultrasound yesterday, 2.0 has the body of a 35-weeker and the head of a 39-weeker.  Yes, he has a gigantic head.  That’s currently just millimeters away from my cervix.
This explains a lot.
Happily, there didn’t seem to be any fluid on the brain - unless we hear otherwise, it looks like he […]

Since this blog - at least lately - seems to be all-complaining-all-the-time, I thought I’d take a minute today to mention that I actually am very thankful for the many blessings in my life.
To wit:
- yesterday’s ob/gyn appt. went well.  Blood pressure was behaving remarkably well (even at the dr.’s office, it was ‘only’ in […]

This time from Rose; I saw it a few days ago, and since it takes more thought than I had at that moment, I put it off until now. I love memes - have I mentioned that??
*I give you money and send you into the grocery store to pick up 5 items. You can […]

Diapers, Budgets, & Paint tagged me for a meme! Seriously, I love a good meme. Really.
4 jobs I have had:
English teacher in Japan
Research Assistant for a Japanese newspaper in DC
Study Abroad Coordinator for a Japanese women’s college
Film projectionist (16 mm only)
Anyone want to guess how my Social Security balance is looking?
4 movies I […]
