Let The Chili Contest Begin!

Dear Readers, Today, I will tell you about the chili contest my mom entered in. The chili contest was to see who had the:Zestiest, Best Meat, Best Vegetarian, and Most Creative chili. My mom won the Zestiest. She did warn me that her chili would be a little spicy. I thought it was SUPER SPICY!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were all mixed up, so you wouldn't know who's was who's. I knew my mom's chili was #2. I saw the tag when she came in. There were vegetarian and meat. Mostly meat was there, and just a few vegetarian. I knew I would have to wait, so I brought a book with me. After I finished tasting and voting, I volunteered to serve the chili, but there only was a few cups left. Then I noticed, there was also a cornbread contest at the back! I raced there and grabbed my plate. I grabbed everything I thought was tasty. Then again, I noticed that there were a couple kids playing at the front, so I raced there too. I started playing with a baby. She started talking about bats, and I couldn't really hear her. I only nodded when I knew she was done with her sentence. Then I went over and started playing with the older kids. I played hide-and-go-seek with Nathan, Liya, and Jackson later on. Then I started playing Bubblegum, Bubblegum, in a dish with Laura, Jackson, Nathan, and Liya. Then we started playing Crocodile. Then Nathan said he was leaving soon, and we had to make Nathan the Crocodile. Then I left. And I fell into a deep slepppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp. fuogruyergoyregreuygwroufrwhrygyugriguwughggyeurgyrg.

鬼は外

2011年から毎年友人達と企画する節分、今年は友人宅で。友人たちがお餅やお寿司を用意してくれ、話題は90年代の音楽やら恋愛やら占いやら日米の違いやら。「それ、あったねー」が連発する、懐かしさにあふれた楽しい夜でした。最初の節分開催は2011年、ここをclick、2012年はここ, 2013年は書き忘れたようで、2014年はこちら。 大学院の授業も今回は少し控えめにして、バランスよく始まった2015年。幸せだな、と感じることの多い日々です。自分にはもったいない伴侶に出会い、元気で健康に育つ娘たちに囲まれ、好きな事を仕事にして生活ができ、素敵な人たちに出会い、毎日生みたての鶏卵を得る。英語でよく、blessings(神や自然の恩恵)といいますが、自分の力ではないたくさんの要素・糸が、人生を豊かに、幸せにしてくれることに心から感謝です。
