Ugh. I just stopped myself from searching local stores that sold chalk paint and sand paper at one in the morning. That was after I stopped myself from attempting to reupholster a chair cushion (I’ve had a glass of wine, nothing good will come from that.) I’m craving some serious hobby time so I settled … Continue reading

UGH
I can’t believe it’s been September since I’ve written here. There are SO MANY things to catch up on but right now I just need an outlet so I’m going to pretend that you know everything and then (maybe, who knows) use that as a way to motivate myself to ACTUALLY bring this blog up … Continue reading
Here’s the Big One. (Or: Closing A Door.)
No excuses this time. Just picking the figurative blogging pen up again. I guess it’s time to tell you the massive story about the house so that I can start moving forward with this blog. Things continue to happen but without the backstory it’s impossible to blog about anything else. So! Let’s start with the … Continue reading
This Is My Blog and I’ll Eat What I Want
Hi. A lot of personal stuff has gone on recently… and I sort of lost the ability to decide what I wanted to keep private and what I felt comfortable sharing with the internet world. So I just sorta stopped sharing. I got some pretty intense news last night and went into a major funk … Continue reading
Our First Anniversary!
This was me last year: This was the moment that we were announced as husband and wife and ushered back into a room full of our cheering family and friends. Oh man, we danced the night away, hugged everyone, ate cupcakes…we celebrated. It was just perfect. The next morning we even had breakfast at a … Continue reading
Tokyo Day Two (Part Two!)
Picture this: I am sitting at my computer desk, with sleep-hair piled on top of my head. I am wearing leopard print pajama pants and a frown. It’s a rainy morning, my oatmeal has gotten cold and I am back in the United States. Truth be told, I have been back state-side for exactly a … Continue reading
Tokyo Day Two! Part One!
I am currently on a Shinkansen (bullet-train) bound for Kyoto right now. This will be another picture-less post, I’m afraid. Sadly, I haven’t been able to update daily. Not so sadly, the reason why is because every day has been chocked full of awesome. On day two we went to Mitaka, which is right outside … Continue reading
Tokyo (Full) Day One!
Konbanwa! It’s in the early evening here in Tokyo and Napkin and I have made it back to our hotel room after spending the day in Shibuya. Oh, Shibuya– where everyone is beautiful and EVERYONE is dressed to the nines. First, though, we had breakfast at our hotel at the restaurant Royal Host which was … Continue reading
Nihon!
I am currently 1,024 miles away from Tokyo! Our arrival time is 3:44 pm (for you on the East Coast of the US that’s 2:44 in the morning.) We are a little less than two hours away and it has just hit me that we are really going to be spending the next twelve days … Continue reading
Being Naked In Public
Before I go on– I just want to let you know that I’m going to start recaps tomorrow! (Planning ahead– #determinedface.jpg) So, as I said yesterday, I am officially staying at the Ryokan Heianbo in Kyoto. We’ll be there for two nights and I am so thrilled for the ‘authentic Japanese experience’ that I haven’t … Continue reading
