So. Sometime ago, I managed to convince Napkin to download this texting app called “Line.” It’s gaining popularity in the US right now (I saw a commercial for it on MTV! WUT!) but it’s huge in Asia– and was EVERYWHERE when we went to Japan for our honeymoon. I pleaded with him to get it … Continue reading

Spending Freeze: Day Three
OH HI! Sorry I missed a couple of days of spending freeze updates… My mom and Little Bro surprised me with a visit! But we’ll get to that in a minute. Day three was a pretty short day and, because of that, easy to get through without spending any money. I mentioned in day two’s … Continue reading
Budgeting is Boring
So I’ve gone on a spending freeze. I took this job away from my hubby and my beautiful house, friends, life, etc. so that we could really put a pretty penny in our savings and, potentially, start thinking about starting a family. (How noncommittal, right? “Start thinking about starting to think…”) Napkin and I both … Continue reading
Okay! I Can Tell You Now.
So a little while ago, I posted a really weird, cryptic post about some big things that have been going on. I was quickly sworn to secrecy after that. But the deal is done now– and despite having to leave out a few details…I can publicly announce it. For the 2014 season, I have signed … Continue reading
Tokyo: Day Nine!
Picking up where we left off last post– Napkin and I left Kyoto pretty late and got back to our hotel in Shinjuku to get some late night snacks and a full night’s rest. The following morning we decided that we would go see the Tokyo Sky Tree! I have a little confession to make. … Continue reading
Kyoto: Day Three! (Part Two!)
So as I said in the last post, we spent the majority of our day hanging with monkeys. (There’s an excellent gif somewhere in there that I should be including. I just know it.) After we made our way down Mt. Arashiyama and hung out for a while we decided to take a bus to … Continue reading
Kyoto: Day Three! (Part One!)
Or: Japan Day Eight! I had a truly unique experience on our final day in Kyoto. It was on this day that I hiked up a mountain to hang out with monkeys… In blue, high-heeled boots. I have been a big fan of Japanese fashion for a long time. I was definitely more an … Continue reading
Tokyo Day Six! Or: Kyoto Day One!
Hello, my sweet, neglected blog. Life has been crazy: we’ve moved into our first home together. Also, I thought I lost all the pictures from my honeymoon. I am celebrating the fact that I FOUND THEM THANK GOD by blogging! So! The day after our amazing trip to Mt. Fuji started off really slowly. We … Continue reading
Tokyo Day Five!
Before I begin this post I’m gonna go ahead and warn you: It’s full of beautiful pictures. That’s Mt. Fuji. And that’s a very awed-out me staring up at Mt. Fuji. So, I am not very good at waking up early. I am also terrible at getting anywhere on time. I was born with a … Continue reading
Like A Punch In The Face (Poll!)
This morning, it hit me. It really, really hit me. Before I go further, we’re going to rejoice together for a second, okay? Because yesterday Napkin and I made our first purchase as husband and wife! We got a new mattress set! (I know. If I were reading this I’d make sex jokes too.) But … Continue reading
