Team Fuji Goes for Gold

I love the Olympics and have so many good memories associated with watching them. This Olympics has been no exception as I have found myself swept up in the Michael Phelps mania, watching anxiously as our gymnasts rocketed and whirled their bodies around as if gravity didn’t apply to them, cheered on our runners and […]

Dreaming

I had a dream last night that we had moved back to Japan and I was trying to find us a car. In my dream I spent hours and hours looking for the perfect car for our family, becoming increasingly more frustrated in the process. I finally had a zing of inspiration and realized that, […]

More "Marketing"

We’re on a roll here in the Fuji household. As a family activity last night we went to the other market on my list of Japanese markets. This time we went to Marukai in Costa Mesa. There are Marukai stores all around Southern California, one of which has a 98¢ store (like a hyaku en […]

Moving and Mitsuwa

We are finally back in California and started moving into our house on Saturday! We are only partially moved in however, because all of our stuff that was left in storage when we moved to Japan has not yet arrived. We were told about 3 months ago that it had already been moved out to […]

Tribute

Mr. Fuji’s grandmother passed away yesterday. This comes with a mix of emotions. Sadness because of the loss, but gratitude that things didn’t drag out and she didn’t have to suffer very long. It has been an honor and a privilege to get to know this incredible woman. Eleanor, or Ellie as she was called, […]

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

On Friday I went in for a bit of a chop, 13 inches to be exact. Bye bye Rapunzel hair! Hello lightheadedness! It’s been awhile since I’ve cut off that much hair. This time around it’s going to Locks of Love which actually made the cut way more fun since I know that all that […]

"You mean, like on vacay? Road trip!"

(Extra points for whoever can tell me what movie the title comes from…) At the beginning of last week Squirrel and I hopped into a car and headed out on our own little road trip adventure! First stop? Las Vegas to visit Polly! Squirrel was in animal heaven meeting Polly’s little menagerie. We made it […]

Summer’s Bounty

Has it really been a week and a half since I last posted? Where does the time go? Things have been busy here in temporary Fuji Headquarters. We’ve been working on doing things like housing, buying cars, and have also done a pretty good job decimating the ant population of Irvine. We have maanged to […]

Repatriating

It still feels like I’m just here in California on one of our visits, and that any day we’ll be heading back to Japan. I don’t think it helps that we’re still living out of suitcases, and will be for weeks to come. Doing an international move is a laborious process. First there was the […]
