Do Re Mi

I just love onigiri (riceballs). We have this hello kitty onigiri shaper and I really recommend that people buy it because it is so much easier than shaping these things yourself.... that is, unless you're just making onigiri balls. o_O My sister is the one who actually made the cake part of this with cake mix but I frosted and decorated it with the strawberries/sprinkles. ^^

I planted these tulips around November of 2008... Well, sometime last fall. And they grew! Only two of them have bloomed so far but I am so proud lol. I've never grown tulips before so this is exciting. I'm thinking about planting more tulips in the front of our house since they seem to be so easy to grow. I only remember watering them a few times too!

I thought I'd make a list to organize my thoughts and also to vent. 1. He makes me feel stupid and unintelligent by comparing me to others. 2. He compares me to my mom, making me feel inferior (as he seemingly has such a friendly relationship with her) which is completely unfair as she has a good 25 years of more life experience than me. 3. He always claims to be "just joking" with me but still his jokes make me feel really bad about myself. To give an example, today, he make a joke that sounded like this: "I just met this guy, he's a really nice guy, very intelligent! I always thought Japanese people were intelligent, what happened to you?" 3. He always nags about me not answering my phone. When I miss one of his calls, he goes ballistic and tells me that I NEVER answer my phone and bitches about it constantly. 4. He never really listens to me. This includes arguments. He just walks out the shop before I have a chance to say anything. Also,
