sukiyaki it to me

Recently I have had this weird obsession with bento boxes. Being Japanese I am somehow drawn to these types of things – such as Hello Kitty and gadgets. My obsession with bentos ended up with me now the proud owner of 2 really cool ones. Then the obvious issue is what to fill the boxes […]

I Cannot Go To School Today!

Something about today reminded me of this…. by Shel Silverstein I cannot go to school today” Said little Peggy Ann McKay. “I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry. I’m going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big […]

my strengths?
