Quiet and busy

Every once in a while I go into a "no blogging" state. I've been taking pictures, but then the moblogging function wasn't working for a while, and once pics get old, I don't like posting (feels more like an obligation vs. posting to share the moment).

But I've also been quiet inside myself...feeling the aches of Gargle growing. I like the increasing kicking, but my back and ribs hurt. And I get tired. So instead of coming home from work eager to catch up on blogging, I just want to lie flat on my back.

Plus, we've been busy preparing for a vacation! My friend Joie from high school (American School in Japan) is getting married in New Orleans, and 4 other old girlfriends will be there. A nice reunion indeed. I'm looking forward to having Dav meet us all as a group so Dav can get a peek into my past. When all together, our interaction slips right back to our good 'ol high school days.

We're also heading to North Carolina to celebrate Ele's engagement, as we'll have to miss the wedding since I'll be ready to bust around then. Then we head up to D.C. where my uncle Peter and aunt Karen live. They haven't met Dav yet so it's about time we visited.

So lots been going on, and that's why it's been quiet on Kokochi.
