BlackKitty's Korner...: October 2013
http://blackkittyknits.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Lately I've been on a personal finance kick. I'm on my third finance book, with many more on my wish list at Audible. This fascination started a few years ago, when, in an effort to make sure I'll be ready to handle my own income, I picked up a book called "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi. About saving money, but I wanted to know more. It also mad...

BlackKitty's Korner...: Hiking in Sandan-kyo
http://blackkittyknits.blogspot.com/2013/10/hiking-in-sandan-kyo.html
Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Monday, October 7, 2013. I really like hiking. It's one of those things my family did pretty often when I was a child, then fell away once we moved to New York City. For a few years now, I've been itching to go hiking, and when a friend of ours told us about this place, I decided that I'd visit it before I leave Japan. Once it was over, we took a bath as a family, which was really nic...

Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Saturday, April 20, 2013. A Time of First Meetings. So after about 20 hours of traveling, we have finally arrived to New York City! I also had a chance to finish two movies, Billy Elliot and Hitchcock, both of which I liked very much. They had The Hobbit, too,but I dared not start such a long movie, in case I couldn't finish it. We got through immigration smoothly and our luggage came...

BlackKitty's Korner...: Mommy Time and Daddy Time
http://blackkittyknits.blogspot.com/2013/11/mommy-time-and-daddy-time.html
Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Mommy Time and Daddy Time. Since Rini has turned one, both James and I have tried our best to connect with our daughter more, to have some special times with her, basically having "Mommy Time" and "Daddy Time." Because I leave for work before Rini wakes up, and don't get home until dinner time, these "Mommy Times" are extra special to me. I can't really writ...

Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Monday, November 25, 2013. It's been 7 weeks since my previous post about finance, and I'm making good progress on reading the books from my list. So far I have finished The Millionaire Next Door. Read "Part I" of The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing. And am in the process of reading Your Money or Your Life. The Millionaire Next Door. While it's not our goal to become millionaires in th...

BlackKitty's Korner...: July 2013
http://blackkittyknits.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. This one is for Audible. Honestly, my mind is a bit of a mess. There are many things I'd like to write about, but none of them are quite clear yet, so I decided to go with an easy one. I'd like to talk about how Audible. Changed my life for the better. It sounds silly, I know, but it's true. Anyways, this is my small love affair with Audible. Two weekends ago...

Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Monday, September 16, 2013. The Time We Visited Miyajima the Three of Us. To Miyajima we go! The best place to get fried momiji manju, I promise! James with one handsome smile after another,. Just had to add them all. There was almost no visibility. Posing at the top. A quick hi after the ropeway. The famous Mijayima gate. After all the hiking and swimming, Rini was out mighty quick.

BlackKitty's Korner...: But of course...
http://blackkittyknits.blogspot.com/2014/03/but-of-course.html
Where I talk about being a mother, knitting, Japan, being part of the JET Program, books, movies, and my life in general. Monday, March 10, 2014. And I was so proud of being somewhat consistent about blogging! Where did the first two months of the year go? I guess I was busier than I thought. Still, I'm a little sad that the last update about Rini's development was a combined post of her being 19 and 20 months old back in mid-November, and she will turn two years old this Saturday! By Andrew J. Mellen.
