its time.....for a blog!

ok so lots has happened in the past days since i last updated. lets see.... last friday we started halloween parties at my school. this means we decorated the school. all the kids come in. we go over halloween vocab, make a bat costume (think black paper wings an mask and a giant black trashbag) then we make a monster hand with jelly beans and popcorn in a plastic glove. then we bob for apples. we do this a coupke times a day. fun fun fun. in the older student classes, we do the touchy feeely game. the one where you have grapes as eyes, spaghetti as hair, and misc stuff like that. we turn off the light, and tell a story and they touch the "body parts" its funny. its amazing how cute all the little kiddies look in their costumes. my costume is a cat. i have ears, a tail (which is fun for the kids to pull on!) and a cat nose with whiskers.

saturday i went to someplace in japan with valerie, my pastor and his wife. it was an art exhibit thing and really neat. there were these big pink and yellow tube like things people were carrying around eating. it looked like cotton candy to me. so we asked someone where they were and the lady took us to the stand and we got free samples and stuff. my best taste description is frosted miniwheats. they are good when they have the frosting. but taste like nothing on the inside. same with the pink foamy thing. it was sugary on the outside and foamy on the inside. i still ate it all. then sat night i came back and went out with some good old OU folk to celebrate the one and only kayla sullivans birthday. nothing like the all you can eat and drink atthe marriott. then i spent the night at valeries.

sunday we got up and went to church. after church i came back and kayla came over. we went to the kasugai festival who hoo! and then i had to work a halloween party. after the party, kayla and i went out for some fried things on sticks at motogen, however, we had to settle for fried things not on sticks at the izakaya across the street. then we went and had ouf feet exfoliated by little fish! then we got some puricura (little pictures) then we came back, drank a glass of wine, watched ace ventura pet detective and went to bed. fun times in kasugai.

then monday and today were just work and halloween parties. 2 more days of parties. myy mom comes this thursday. yeah for getting off work 2 hours early to go pick her up!
