An Iowan in Japan: January 2012
http://blondefujiwara.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
An Iowan in Japan. Thursday, January 26, 2012. In Jr high we were split even further and had a chance to challenge ourselves by joining more advanced classes. By the time we were in high school we would be with kids of different years. Again, no one really cared (as far as I know) about what class they were in. Words for Wednesday: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. And who I am kidding, I suggest anything. My biggest advise is to read read read. Movies are great, but I think books have a greater p...Today...

An Iowan in Japan. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Satuday School in Japan. No, I don't mean the kind of Saturday school that you see on The Breakfast Club (though they could use that here). I have been hearing from random people on Facebook and the Internet that the current prime minister wants to add a 6th day (Saturday) to the school week in Japan to increase teaching hours. You can read more about that here. Especially read the comments. 1 Minimize break time for the days that they are in school. Full day...

An Iowan in Japan. Monday, March 26, 2012. No, this is not another post about Finn, though I do love the son of a bitch. No, this is about another little dear that has been on my mind since last Saturday. The mall was quite packed but we didn't mind making our way to Muji, G.U. (discount UniQlo), Lupecia, and the 100 yen store (the dollar store). And, since my family is nuts about dogs, we decided to take a quick peek at the new Pecos.

An Iowan in Japan. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. New Year's Resolutions: 6 Months In. So I suck at this. But maybe posting about it will motivate me. Maybe. Below are my New Year's Resolutions and where I stand with each. It is isn't pretty. In 2013 I will. 2 Keep up with email/mail/and my blog in a timely manner. Nope- not happening.

An Iowan in Japan: Tom Turns 1!
http://blondefujiwara.blogspot.com/2013/06/tom-turns-1.html
An Iowan in Japan. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. This year has been full of changes for me, but you can't even begin to imagine what my puppy Tom has been through. In one year he has gone from the breeder to the pet store to our home. Our home has added a new baby who has gone from a crying thing in a basket to a squealing thing moving all around the floor. He has seen several house guests and various different parties. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Words for Wednesday: The Road...

An Iowan in Japan: 30!
http://blondefujiwara.blogspot.com/2013/07/30.html
An Iowan in Japan. Thursday, July 4, 2013. Holy wow. Today, July 4th, I turned the big 30. Time flies and yet I have done a lot of living in the past 30 years. I have managed to read an amazing amount of books and have even read many books over and over. But there are still so many out there yet for me to read. Hopefully through book club I can find out about ones I have missed and hopefully I can make time for reading despite being a mom and a teacher. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). So I Took a Vac...
