Announcement One

So, it's been a while, lovely readers (I think there might be three or four of you....yessss, my following is growing). I mentioned a WHILE back that I had some exciting news. I'm ready to share a little bit now. I have decided, that I am going to stay in Japan for ONE MORE YEAR! YAY! I love it here! I went back and forth for a while as to whether I would stay or not, but a few weeks ago I just decided that if I've been here for this long already and I don't feel like I'll want to leave in 6 months, then it's the right decision to stay.
Job stuff isn't completely ironed out at this point, but I will probably stay with my current employer and have a different position. Anyhow, for those of you who were/are interested in visiting, you now have a little extra time to save up some dough and make plans to come over to my side of the world. Happy day!

Perfection.

Wow. I am having major flashbacks to my high school choir years. And I think I like it. Also, vote. That is all.

Big News!

Okay so, for all five of you (on a good day) who read this, I have some exciting news! Yay!! I would've posted earlier this week were I not feeling sorry for myself for STILL having the plague virus after two weeks of misery and for having to work ridiculous hours during said two-week period. Basically, it's been me, in bed, with a box of tissues, a huge bottle of water, noodles from 711, and lots of tv shows on dvd.

Anywho, in the next several weeks I am going to make some exciting announcements (that I can't talk about just yet) on the blog so stay tuned.

The first of these which I AM able to share with you is that Michelle Garcia aka Chelley aka my LOVE is coming to visit for 10 days just after Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to see mountains and shrines and rice patties and the world's biggest city together! I'm happy enough that I may just be able to end my dependency on 711 noodles. I don't know though...there are these crispy bits of ginger root mixed in with the noodles.....
