So to back track a bit!
New Year's Eve the kids and I just stayed home. I made party food and we watched a movie. After that the kids went upstairs, I could hear them laughing and fooling around. It's nice that they are happy to hang out together. They were having a tournament, cards, chess, darts and shogi. Whoever won the most games was the tournament winner! At midnight we watched the New Year being rung in at the various temples across Japan. I never feel like going to these places, too cold and too many people. I like the comfort of my home!

January 5th was Christopher's birthday and January 9th Mikey's birthday! I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Mikey is now 22, how did that happen!
So 2014! Not sure how I feel about that! Last year was tough and I am glad that it is over. But I am moving away from my memories of Hisao and that makes me sad! This time last year I could think that the year before he was here with me. Now I can't!
One thing I must do is loose weight! i have already lost the 2kgs I put on over the holidays. Just another 30 to go! But I would settle to 10!!! So I will try and write bout that as well!!!
Hi Jackie, I just wanted you to know I read your blog. I've not been good at leaving comments though - I apologize. I'll do better from now on. :) lovely New Years food!
ReplyDeleteI understand how hard it is grieving the death of a loved one. Sending you big hugs.
Good luck on your weight loss. Smaller portions and exercise. Before I had a treadmill I walked around my house! It worked. It's hard, I know but not impossible. You will feel lighter and have more energy!
Also- I wanted to let you know that I am having real trouble getting your blog to accept my comments. That's the main reason I haven't commented. For some reason your blog doesn't want to accept my comments. I persisted for 15 minutes to get the above comments through. :) the biggest problem is the " captcha" thing- I can never seem to type the correct letters- they are very hard to read.
