I visited the morning time, which was English cafe, with son in tow after a while. Regular members came and talked each topic. Though I wanted to do more and more because I had several stuffs for a few weeks, however, my son didn't sit during the time, you know. So I couldn't help paying attention to him not to make a fuss and do some pieces of mischief...As you know, I couldn't catch their stories completely(T T)nor talk what I wanna talk...I know it can't be helped...(^^;)
So I felt it was not enough more than usual...I wish somebody were someone talk to me after the time...Husband???NOOOOO!!! Cuz, he doesnt understand nor is interested in English at all.( yeah, if he was engaged in English, we would NOW live abroad..lol) Should I talk to myself??oh...I'm not wired lol lol...Or should I wait next English circle?? Please let my chat with someone in English!!!lol lol

Usually I get down to prepare for dinner and do some stuffs around 4〜5 o'clock. Fortunately, today isn't same!!
Cuz, my husband'll have to wine and dine customers this night,so I'm able to get another time which I make some dishes.( you know, I'm writing this article, RIGHT NOW^^)
Of course, I play with my son as well as study English.(^^)
For my son, as it's been a bad weather, he looks have energy too much...and doesn't seem to be worn out at all...(--;)lol lol

Anyways, I'll spend the time for myself after he's slept..

この前にもちょこっと書きましたが、やはり私は“スルタン”が好きですねぇ。ご存知の方もいらっしゃるでしょうが、これ香水の名前です。
季節によって変えているんですが、今年の夏は、The body shopのバラの香水（大のバラ好きなもんで、即買っちゃいました＜笑＞）で、爽やか＆やさしい香りをつけていました。
季節も冬へと変わりつつある今日この頃、衣変えをするように香りも変えちゃおうということで、これ、、、です。
今まで、色々な香りをつけてきました。ゴルチェ（男性用のやつのほうが好きでしたが、、＾＾；）や、お馴染みのカルバンクライン、アルマーニ、グッチのエンヴィ、The body shopのムスクやその他の香り、アナスイ、クリニ−ク、ＮＹのアントニアーズ、、等等。
数多くの香りを楽しんできて、スルタンも楽しみながら見つけた一つです。甘い香りの中にも、どこか大人の女性の感じがするんですね。しかも、お値段もかなりお得（＾＾）
香りって、個人によって好き嫌いがはっきりしますし、トップノート(最初の香り）、ミドルノート（中盤の香り）、ラストノート（最後の香り）と香りが変化していきますから、自分に合う香りをみつけるにも大変です。そういうことをクリアしたのが、これなんですよ(笑）（他には、アナスイも評判良かったですね、特に“スイドリーム”。これも甘めなんですが、少々若い感じがします）

また、暇をみつけては香り探ししてみようかな、、、と思っています。何か、お勧めの香りがあれば、是非教えてくださいね。

Today I and my son dropped at The Canal City in order to meet ex-coworkers after about a year, ask them to have one of my ring smalled and buy my favorite perfume.

My son was a little bit nervous, however, looked to be interested. We had a tea about 30 minutes when one of workers took a break.
I had to go back, unfortunately, to prepare for dinner and do some stuffs..Yet I never go there and meet them without thinking of my working days..(^^)

昨日の晩、お風呂にチビを入れようと服を脱がせた時、お腹の辺りくっきりと“赤く被れたように”なってました。（−−；）脱がせるまで、（全然元気で、機嫌も良く、食欲もあったので）気づかなかったのでもう、びっくりでした。夕飯に食べたものが、、、？？？と、考えてみますと、、、

ほうれん草、豆腐のお味噌汁、ケチャップと玉ねぎで炒めたご飯、かぼちゃ

です。この中で、久しぶりに与えたのが、“ケチャップ”、、、。でも、これで蕁麻疹ってできるの？？？と疑問、、、。

一日の事柄を一つ一つ思い起こしてみたんですが、ん〜〜〜〜〜っ、わからん、、、。（−−；）手や足なら“何かに触れたのかも”と思うんですが、服を着たお腹の部分は、食べ合わせが可能性高いなあ、、、と思うんですが、、、。それか、一週間前にインフルエンザ予防接種を受けたので、その抗体か？？？（でも、遅いしな、、、）

ん〜〜〜、チビさんの皮膚や体はまだまだ敏感なので、しばしば急に起こるのかも、、、と解釈しとるわけなんですが、、、。どうなんでしょう、、？？

まあ、今日朝にはすっかりおさまってましたのでホッとしてますが，，（＾＾；）

その後、様子をみたんですが、元気元気だったので、大丈夫かなと。

This morning, unfortunately, it was raining, I attended a business English circle with my son in tow.

At first, we took a test which was made by Emi that is a representative of this circle. As I studied "only" vocabs, I wondered if I would understand...Yet I tried and managed to answer.(^^;)

After that, we debated on gender discrimination. As we're women and wives...I've never experienced such as it when I worked. So I got some ideas and opinions from other members who had done. In addition, we talked about our hopes in Japanese future..and so on..

Well, Debating is worth practicing in English. So I'm looking forward to debating next time.

We visited husband's parents' afternoon. On arriving, we went to Hawks town, which was one of the biggest shopping malls and near JAL resort hotel, Fukuoka dome. Father and mother-in-low gave my son several toys and a tricycle. He was very interested in toys, especially, " cars". So he seemed to be so excited because there were the number of toys around him.
After the shopping, we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant in the mall. As he ate much more than they expected, they was surprised at.(^^)

He was being high spirits while we went home on our way..

I turned a heater on the first time this year. Cuz, when I got up, I had a heavy headache and felt a chill...In addition, it was raining...So I put some jackets on , took a medicine and slept a few hours. Fortunately, I go well and felt better(^^) (The medicine worked very much)
While I was sleeping, my husband was listening a favorite CD, which was " Kobukuro" (I also like their songs), dubbed songs his chose into MD. He's in charge of works like it(^^)lol After that he prepared for light meal.

Well, I like their songs, say again, however, they were being a ear worm...still now...

Today I attended an English circle after a week. Today's topic was " beauty"...

What's the beautiful for you??

(Though I said in the class..) Being student, I had some serious trouble with skin. That was "the number of spots".. On top of that, my weight was putting on.. on the grounds of growing. My friends, family, boyfriend and around me said that it was NOT big deal, you didn't need to be distressed at all, however, I was being...then I'd been had a serious complex about my face(skin, figure), appearance...Even they say you don't need..So I tried many kind of cosmetics, skin-care goods and went to skin-care clinic and bought many magazines covered with Cosme or diet, fashion etc ...Fortunately, the trouble's gone,(I guess it might have my age...??uh??^^;)After I gave a birth, my weight was lost about 8kg(thanx son^^)
Though it's not as much as before, I've still had the complex. But I realized some important thing while I was being. It's that I should do, keep at it, make an great effort what I want to do. It means doing for my husband, son, friends etc... and doing for myself... In addition, I don't want to forget as a woman. Though I'm mom and housewife, I'm a woman. As a woman, I'll make an effort to be beautiful, appearance and inner, to SPEND LIVELY!!! Do you think so??

Well, today I couldn't express well than before..Often I do that. I wish I could always do well...

This afternoon, I took my son to a pediatric hospital for the second of 2 vaccinations against influenza. Though several moms and kids' already been waiting there, it wasn't as much as than last one. (It took about 30 minutes..not long...) While he was been consulted, as I expected, he was crying and crying, you know..(last time was also) after it finished, he was on prowl as usual..(^^)

Well, I hope, I and my husband as well as my son won't come down with influ...

Usually I study English ,including listening, during my son's sleeping. Yet...you know, it's often not enough for me..Recently I've got 3,4 hours, fortunately, but not enough..(^^;) Specially, I don't have enough time to listen. So I listen to English (CNN or some text CDs etc)after my family's turned in. Cuz, I can concentrate on doing.yeah..Today...I should say Tonight was no exception. I was able to do British English(pronounce) in this CNN-EE. I felt that there was much British English(pronounce) than before. As I've been studying American pronounce, it was nice for me to practice. I need to familiarize myself with it.Yes!! Some articles were hard for me to catch..(^^;) But keeping at it...

After I got a new TV, I've been enjoy watching some programs. I've not contracted BS or CS, such as wowwow, skyperfect etc...yet.. I just want to listen and watch English programs,I mean it's CNN, BBS or movies...I checked several channels, however, I don't any idea which one the best. So I entered a free trail service(How should I say??) for 16 days!!!

I'm checking!!!

Well, if you have some recommendations, please tell me!!

今日、ＣＮＮーＥＥを買うついでにチビの靴等も買おうとでかけてきました。普段、チビは商品には手を出さず、“あっ！！”とか“ママっ、だあだあ”等指を指してコミュニケーションをとったり、しばらく手に取ったとしても“ないないしといてねえ”と言えば、“なあなあ”と言って戻すんですが、“車”のおもちゃは別物でした。（−−；）店内でおお泣きし、両手には５つのおもちゃが、、、（−−；）“しまった〜っ、（＞　＜；）＜あ、ブーブーがあるよ〜＞なんか言っちゃたしなあ、、、”と反省しつつ、どうにか２つまでもどしたんですが、この２つを決して離そうとはしません（よほど気に入ったのでしょう）ここで根負けして２つとも買うと、癖になっちゃうとなあ、、、という心配もあって、“いかんものはいかん、１つだけ”と何とか１つだけにさせたんです。勿論、理屈なぞ、通じる歳でもないですし、大泣きしたときは何を言ってもおさまりませんので、“強制的”に１つにさせた感じです（−−；）
スーパーなどでこうゆう場面に遭遇しますが、皆さんはどうされていますか？
この様なことは今回初めてで、一応後で、“よく我慢したねえ”とフォローをしたんですが、、、。（＾＾；）いやあ、店内の皆様、お騒がせいたしました、、、ｍ（＿　＿）ｍ

I joined the mom's english circle this morning. I've been looking forward to meeting member, practicing and talking. This time, there were 2 new members. They were middle-aged womem.I wasn't able to talk with them much, however, I was glad to see them(^^)
In the class, we talked about "mottoes" etc..It was interesting!!

Well, I was perspired...during the class..(^^;)lol lol I don't know...Did I wear a pair of boots?? or Was I holding my son?? or What??? hahaha

今年も残すところ、２ヶ月をきりましたねえ、、、。はぁ〜〜〜、早いですねえ、、、年月が過ぎるのって、、（−−）

で、皆さんにお尋ねします。年末年始の学習って（テスト対策等等含め）どう計画されてます？私の場合、勿論のこと年末年始は両家に行ったり、なんやかんやで家にいることが難しそうなんで、その期間は計画から外して、、、と考えているんですが。でも、師走だけあって、１２月に入ると何だかバタバタしちゃいますもんねえ、、、。（そう言えば、去年は暮に風邪をこじらせたっけ、、、ってか、毎年のように、風邪引いてるもんな、、、気をつけよう、、、＾＾；＜予談＞）なので、今月と、来年下旬あたりに計画してみようかな、、と考えてます。と、ここで気になるのが、“モチベーション”なんですよ。(笑）どう維持していこうか、、、、（−−）ムムムムム、、、Zzzzzzz.....

Yesterday we took a drive toward Dazaifu. Not only I but also my husband like to take a drive, go out in a beautiful day like yesterday. In addition, I had some purpose. It was that I visited a shrine for promoting scholarship. At first, I visited Kamado shrine where we did for the first time. The atmosphere was so peaceful and restful. Many visitors including climbers were there.
After we took a rest for a while there, we went to Dazaifu shrine. As we expected, the number of visitors were there, on top of that those who worshiped for boys of three and five and girls of three and seven,so-coled "shichi-go-san".
Then I worshiped our happiness, health and scholarship. Of course I got a talisman for scholarship.p(^^)q
I hope and pray my English'll be better and better...

ついについに、液晶デジタルテレビを買っちゃいました！！！と、いうのも１ヶ月以上前からすんご〜〜〜〜い古い型のブラウン管テレビが壊れており、ずっとテレビ無しの生活でございました。（＾＾；）もともとテレビが無くても平気な私なので、苦にはならないのですが（ＢＳもＣＳもおまけに多重放送も聴けない古いやつでしたので）、今回すべて内臓+デジタル可能は私にとってはかなりの魅力です。やっと、現代の文明にきたぁ、、、とも感じますが、、、(笑）

旦那がチュウナーや番組設定等等してくれ、早速番組拝見！！！

“おおおおおおおお〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜っ綺麗じゃ〜〜〜〜〜〜〜っ(
＠。＠)/”＜私＞　“すげぇ〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜（目をキラキラさせながら）”＜旦那＞　“&%'&&#$$$#\-&^\〜〜〜〜っ（意味不明）”＜チビ＞

と、まあ、現代文明に感動したのでした（笑）

このテレビくんのおかげで、ＣＮＮもＢＢＳも映画もリアルタイムで聴けるようになり、部屋の中はちょっとした英語世界です。これでリスニング強化にもなりますしね。来年のＴＯＥＩＣに向けての勉強にも役立てそうです。

As I said yesterday, I'll try to take a test next year. Then I'm of two minds which one to be first... TOEIC or STEP...uh... Recently I've studying grammar all over again.It's interesting,isn't it? Because I'm able to review and reconfirm.yeah..
Well, I'll take TOEIC test around next June...uh..So If you have some recommendation text books or the ways of studying, please tell me...m(_ _)m

Today I asked my parents to take care of my son in order to attend the cafe morning class. As I've been staying at parents', (I said before) I went out earlier than usual. Yet my son was crying and crying as I expected when I was going...(^^;) Sorry...kid..
After several months I was able to have own time for English lesson, concentrate on talking and listening.(^^)
After I had a precious time, I dropped at my house due to clean up and wash clothes and do some stuffs. Then I checked the result of test on a web site. It was short of 5 points..(--;)Only 5 points!!! If I hadn't changed some answers, I could have passed....
Yet this time I was able to get confidence, especially reading and listening!!! Last time several answers which I had confidence and thought " correct" were wrong...So I was devastated and disappointed at myself.. But this time was not same!!!
Though the result was bad, I was able to prove a firmly improvement over the former!!!!! Also I could get confidence!!!
Next year I'll try!! yes!!!oh!!! I WON'T change any first answer next time!!!
