Costco Trip

Costco is the only place where you can always get imported goods in Daegu. Unfortunately, it's very far from my house, requires a membership card, and when I do finally go there, I spend way too much money! But I usually get entertained, too.

I guess when you're tired, you're tired.


Couple shirts, in pink. Wouldn't fly at home, for a few reasons I can think of.


I would have loved to have bought this pool for our roof. But it was entirely too expensive (around $100), and I wasn't even sure the landlord would allow it to be filled and stay up there. If I would have to take it down and refill it every time, I never would have used it. So I kept walking.

Why I am here?

There are some days when I really don't know why I stayed here...

RIP, Genny Miller

Found out today that a very old friend is gone. She had a vivacious spirit, that I thought could never be quelled. Rest in peace, Genny. You will be forever missed.

Turning on the Aircon

This is the remote control to my air conditioner. This should be...easy. Yeah, sure, no problem.

Joke of the Day

(Stolen from a friend's Facebook post)

Overheard:

"Do your milkshakes have dairy in them?"
"No, we use dead unicorns."

Peter: In my day we used lived unicorns. Tasted awful.

Barbie Shoes

My manager has what I call "Barbie shoes". They're plastic, similar to 1980s "Jelly shoes", only made of hard plastic. I think they're fabulous, but don't know that I could pull them off. They only come in flats in my size anyway, and only in Seoul.

Crazy, Unfortunate Dreams

I have been having CRAZY dreams all week. I solved a murder mystery, found out I was pregnant, then went through all the labor and delivery...and several others I've (luckily) forgotten. I need a lot of DREAMLESS sleep...I'm exhausted! Do you know how much energy it takes to have a baby?!

Kim:
LOL!!! Especially a make believe baby!!

Bethany:
How big was he/she? :)

Me:
Too big. And funny-shaped, like a caucasian alien with a triangular head. It was disturbing.

RIP, Rue McClanahan

This is a bad week for the 80s. Another 80s icon is gone. Au revoir, Blanche Devereaux. RIP.

Finish the story...

I laughed so hard I cried today. One of my kids turned a boring "finish the story" assignment into a daring tale of murder, zombies, and headlessness. It was hysterical.

A Day of Punishments and Dismay

I had a terrible day. Spent 20 minutes in one class going through different punishments, only to realize none were working. Then had to explain that I didn't care if they were mad at me. I hate middle schoolers. There comes a point when you have to just laugh through the shock and dismay.
