p.s. I don't know if that Korean flag I brought back for Noah last year is hung up correctly. Perhaps I should check on that.

Dating An Englishwoman is Brilliant

Playing Trivial Persuit with Lizzie, Lacey, and Jen on Saturday:

Which of the Great Lakes is furthest west?
Lizzie: I don't know the Great Lakes!
Lacey: They spell 'HOMES.'
Me: Yeah, that's how we remember them.
Lizzie: Let's see. Michigan. Erie. Orinoco? No, that's a river in South America. H? Home-on-the-Range.
Lacey: and Star-and-Stripes-Forever.


p.s. Lizzie told me everything really is just like Harry Potter in England!
And they have an armory and a Legoland! Yessss!

Happy (belated) Birthday, Dad!

Me: Dad, how old are you now? Lizzie asked me what year you were born and I couldn't remember. I think you're 20 years older than me, though. I'm 26, so you're 46, right?

Dad: Yeah, I'm 46.

Me: ::maaaaath:: You were born in 1966, right?

Dad: No, I was born in 1965.

Me: How is that possible? I was born in May of 1986 and you're 20 years older....I'M NOT 26! I'm 25! 26 is my Korean age!

Mom (from across the room): I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT!
