Last month I began taking dance lessons again. This time, however I decided to try something different....Ballroom Dancing and Salsa! I wasn't sure if I was going to like dancing with a partner but as it "turns out", when you dance with someone who can lead, dancing with a partner is actually more fun than dancing by yourself! I think I'm hooked for life!
This blog entry is mostly for my Japanese friends, but anyone that has travelled abroad might get a kick out of this as you may have come across some wild spellings to common English words overseas. I was in a NJ cafe the other day with my Japanese friend when we both noticed that they put up a new food menu. The first food listed is a pretty typical Japanese dish---Yakitori ("Yaki" means grilled and "tori" means bird/chicken). I have yet to figure out what Yak-A-tori is, but judging from the discription underneath I'm positive they meant to write Yak-I-tori. We both giggled and chatted in Japanese about the "cute mistake"--much like I did about "cute English mistakes" when I lived in Japan. これは 何ですか？ 昨日は ヒデミと 私の 好きな きっさてんに 行って 新しい メニューを 見ました。良かったね。。。。新しい 食べものの メニュー ですね。でも、 ＃１は 何ですか？やかとりは 何ですか? おいしい かな? アハハハ！まちがい ですね。ヒデミと わらっていて 日本語で しゃべりました。 かわいい まちがい ですね。
What a cute hat! Today I got a free "Rockstar-energy drink" pink trucker's hat! I just had to get a picture in it---here I am with Kristina.
I have not written anything in quite some time, so I figured... why not start off the 2009 blogging season with SNOW! Yes, it is cold in Jersey and we are finally getting some snow that we can play in--Molly is loving it, but it sure tires her out!
雪が ふっています! きれい ですね。仕事の町から 家まで ゆっくり うんてんしましたね。家に ついて Ｍｏｌｌｙちゃんと 雪で 遊びました。つかれた。早くねむりましたね。アハハハ。
Keaton came over on Christmas Day to open presents and chow down on some good Christmas grub. His (and my brother's) favorite gift was from my Mom, his Grandmom...it was his first baseball toy! Here is Grandmom teaching Keaton how to hit the baseball.
GO EAGLES! I went to my first Eagles game last week. There was definitely a lot of excitement there, you would have thought it was the superbowl and not just an easy game against the Browns. The weather was great and the fans were behaving themselves, imagine that?!!!!?!!!What an experience!
Here are some pics from Keaton's 1st Birthday!!! Notice how much he loves the bow I got him? Oh, yea , he likes the glow-worm too. haha!
While out on a back country road in Pennsylvania I came across this mailbox. I thought it was pretty funny。 Since my nickname has been "emilymanatee", I stopped and grabbed a quick pic.
