Tonight we used chopsticks (thank you Thai family). I love chopsticks. I think they are fun, challenging and allow me to focus on the fact that I should enjoy my food as opposed to shovel sustenance into my mouth. Tonight after dinner, chopsticks became a competition. We have a bowl that we keep filled with almonds (again, thank you Thai family). We spent some time trying to see who could get the almonds in and out of the bowl the fastest. 34 seconds was the winning time. Please, try this at home. In honor of our friends and family in South Korea....
Brandon is back to blogging, check out his blog here. Between his studies and blogs, he is still longing for the mountains - and the use of his ice axes. When I returned from the grocery I was met by a monkey on the stairs - a monkey with Wolverine-like arm extensions. The stairs of our apartment complex have become Brandon's new dry tooling playground.
I think, Marissa, that you are quite possibly the most supportive, encouraging wife in the universe. I'd be screaming, "Get off the damn stairs and take these grocery bags in!!"
ReplyDeletei just love your posts :)
Dad laughed so loud that it scared the cat. I'm betting this will change when you are both gainfully employed and I'm impressed with the variety of ways you find to entertain yourselves (and us). Thank you for sharing your lives with articulate, hysterical notes.
ReplyDeleteFantastic post, as per usual. I laughed quite hard at both videos. It makes me a little sad that having been in South Korea and using chopsticks for 6 months, you are still more coordinated at it than I am...I'm going to use metal chopsticks as a scapegoat. Brandon...it's time to explore other things...the landlords must be wondering about the markings in the stairs. :)
