I realize that yesterday's post's date was said to be 'Saturday', but it was actually 'Friday'. What happened was that I posted it past midnight so it showed up as Saturday. :P So this is Saturday's blog.

Since last night was so late, got up very slowly past 9:30. Naomi and I got pretty busy soon after getting up; did laundry, cleaned up the house a lot more, and I reorganized the DVDs and videos. Everyone knows I like movies so must realize how much I just needed to have the DVDs and such correctly organized. I mean, seriously, Naomi and Erin just put their movies in just any order! ARGH! At least it's all beautifully arranged by rating, genre, and types of cases. I even organized their CDs by artist, genre, and release dates. Now that's the kind of 'cleaning up' that I like.

Before we knew it the clock read 12:00 so we decided to have lunch. Since we hadn't had breakfast (:P), we had toast, eggs, and bacon. Yum-yum! After reading some fanfiction to settle my stomach, I practiced some dancing. I haven't danced in a while (considering we usually had dance almost every day for a loooong time!) I took a long time to do my warm-ups and stretches. Fortunately, I don't seem to have gotten very stiff at all; in fact, I think I could stretch more than usual. It also helps that because of the warm weather here the muscles warm-up easier than in Japan (cold concrete floors in the Sanctuary don't help much. :P)

Jenny stopped by around 2:30 or so and I realized that I had danced for a little over an hour! Feeling very good (I always feel so genkii after dancing and doing stretches), I relaxed and drank some Dr. Pepper while reading And Both Were Young by Madeleine L'Engle. Most may recognize the name as the author of the Wrinkle in Time series. I simply love this book; I haven't read it in such a long while that it's a pleasure to pick it up once more. I also figured out how to hook my speakers to my i-Pod so listened to nice music. (I hope you don't mind Maria and I'm 'borrowing' your idea of putting the picture of the cover of the book I'm reading. ^_^)

After Jenny left, Naomi and I headed over the theaters to watch a movie. Though I was afraid we wouldn't make it on time, Naomi was luckily able to find a parking spot almost immediately so we got inside the theater just as the movie was starting. Nice because we didn't have to squirm through so many trailers. The movie unfortunately wasn't as good as I hoped it'd be... hmmm....

Got home a little after 6 and both Naomi and I were pretty hungry by then. Our stomachs are still a little mixed up from the time difference. Naomi made a delicious hamburger dish which was more like meatloaf. We ate it with tomato sauce and tomato sauce on top... whoo!

After cleaning up all the dishes, we went over to Tower Records to see if they had something we wanted... and they did! Particularly Daddy, Mommy, Mrs. Ean, and Mrs. Ito are going to be sooo jealous, we got Monk Season Three on DVD! Instead of watching the first episode for the season, we went straight to watching the tenth episode where the character of Sharona is no longer on the show but is replaced by a character named Nathalie. I really like the actress who plays Nathalie (Traylor Howard), especially in her earliest tv show called Two Guys and a Girl (Gotta love Ryan Reynolds as one of the 'two guys'). I'm sad Sharona's gone, but I still like Nathalie a lot! She's much tougher on Monk, and I think that's what he needs sometimes. (Traylor H. is the blonde girl in the picture on the right, Ryan R. the guy on the left of the same picture)

Oh, yes, while watching the Monk episode, Naomi and I drank a mango shake of our own concoction. *muahahahaha* We blended fresh mangos, pineapple sherbert, and milk. Delicious, simply delicious!

Afterwards, we were able to have a video conversation with Daddy and Mommy. Lots of fun; I especially love making weird faces and doing weird things in front of the camera, especially to make people laugh. (You were laughing, right Daddy and Mommy?...) Bianca and Sophie are too adorable, even on camera! I just gotta face facts... they're just too, too perfect. :P

Time for bed! Tomorrow we'll be going to the 8:30 service at church so we're going to get up a wee bit earlier than usual. Then hopefuly, I might get an air conditioner installed in my room (excited, huh Maki?) In the evening, Naomi and I are invited to go to a wedding of Aunt Jean's friend's daughter so am looking forward to that.

On a last note, a picture of our new laundry hamper whom we have named Dr. Pepper. (Henceforth you shall be called Darth... *ahem* sorry, couldn't help poking fun at Darth Sidious. LOL!) Thank you Chio-san for the lovely gift!
