But we just got here

Today, the princess moves up from middle school to high school. How the time flies for sure. Memories and feelings are strong today. Her clothing and flowers are ready but not me. I've been so busy with all that comes along with middle school that I can hardly find the time to rummage through my closet and put together suitable attire for the day. Funny thing, I'll be the only one to remember what I wear today once it's all said and done. Hmmm

I still remember the wide eyed child, eager to let us go the first day of kindergarten. Her strength and confidence carrying her through the days. She's still quite shy in social situations but that's okay. The lucky people she's gotten to know realize how smart, witty and kind she truly is. The captain and I are proud for all that she has accomplished in and out of school. Illegitimi non carborundum; Carpe diem.

Sushi or not to sushi? hold the wasbi!

Today the captain, princess and I decided to try out the newest eatery in town, a sushi place.  Frankly I had grown tired of waiting for it to finally open, nearly a year in the making.  It occupies the space of another eatery that was close to my heart for a number of reasons aside from the food. Not to digress I'll will continue the tale of our lunch experience.

The princess wanted to give sushi a try and ordered a 5 piece box. The captain and I not as brave(LOL) ordered more traditional fare. He teriyaki, me tempura. All the meals were served with miso soup, California roll and wasabi on the side.

I've sampled wasabi before and mentioned that it can be somewhat spicy....the captain decides to take a rather large piece of it...well if you've ever tried wasabi you know what happened next he man started coughing and...
