Time really flys by for me, the older I get, the faster time zoomed by. Why didn’t time fly quicker when I was a kid or teenager? It’s already mid August and this Thursday is the start of the Great Minnesota Get Together, the State Fair. I might go this year since I will be taking time off again to burn my vacation during the Labor Day weekend which is usually the last day of the fair. School reopens after Labor Day. Traffic is always heavier during school terms. Wow, where did the time go to?
I have decided not to register for any classes this fall. The reason I’m flat broke and just cannot afford to use my savings. Darn, tuition fees are so expensive now. I know my boss will understand my situation, coz I have added fall classes on my goals and objectives. It will probably take me another 4 years to complete my 2-year degree. How pathetic! 
Speaking of time, this little missy is growing like a weed. Her hair is turning red, sure looks like it, doesn’t it? DB was sitting her on Monday. She was very cranky, fighting her sleep but drinks her milk like she’s drinking water. She is still very smiley and yap a lot when we put her down to change her. She is still drooling a lot which makes us think she is teething. I’m waiting for my coworker to bring in her Baby Einstein DVDs she bought when she had her babies. I’m sure it will keep this little missy occupy.
One event I missed out (on Sunday, August 17) and actually the first I have heard of since I came to MN is the Japanese Lantern Lighting Festival out in Como Park. It is an annual event where Corrine will open a stall selling her famous bakeries, soba noodles and drinks. I wanted to go so bad but I had so much to do at home, my usual cleaning day and bathing day for Ranger (I still bathe Ranger every week because of his allergies). I was debating about til the clock hit 7 p.m. and I finally told myself I’m not going since I know if I go I won’t get home till 10 or 11 because I know I want to spend time with Corrine, Tammy, and all the rest. Next year will be a must for me, I will take the next day, Monday, off.

Dawn,
Soba noodles is one of my favourite.. There are not many Japanese in Richmond, but quite a few jap restaurants around… Never tried their soba noodles - must do it someday.
cat cats last blog post..what we did for Emma’s birthday
I never knew there were that many Japanese in Minneapolis til I met my friend Corrine. She’s M’sia but knows a lot of Japanese folks.

I agree with you on the first paragraph. Why is it that time flies so fast in our mid 30s and 40s but never in our mid 20s? The naivety of our younger days will never fades and it has been replaced by the real world now.
