Ah, I see. The quiz? Where's that? Can I do it from America? O.o
I did the math, and apparently if I keep doing this well every day, I will get the ごまあざらし that sits on your head just a couple days before the event ends. I hope I am not busy with school. >.< I see that you're holding one! おめでとう～！（＾。＾）
I'll try! We have so many leftover burritos, pieces of pizza, and sweets; I can't let it go to waste! Especially since my family members are dieting! Lol. ^^
Well, that's because I use the bucket, but I can't get it every game. So really it's more like... maybe 200 points a day, if I'm lucky and catch lots of koi fish. Hm, maybe I can still do it? If I have time to play once school starts back up. >.< 頑張るよ！
Yeah! ^^ They really do look like they're kissing. They have funny faces, lol. ^.^♥ Sooo cute. I love watching them. Apparently koi fish are a symbol of love in Japan. ♥
Oh, it's cool that your friend is a confectioner! She's so nice, doing that. ^^ I remember when I graduated middle school, one of my mom's friends bought us a cookie cake. Yummy! ^^ My mom has bought a birthday cake before, but it's not something we usually do. Oh, I just remembered! This one time, my mom and my grandma made me a birthday cake, but it got squashed somehow and they felt bad about it. So they bought me a second cake, and we ate both of them! ^^
Yes, I saw the ごまあざらし! I really want the one that sits on your head~. ^.^ But you have to get 5,000 points. 無理だよね～。 >.<
Yup, there are koi fish in the St. Louis Botanical Gardens! I love going to see them; they are so cute! ^.^♥ I remember before I knew much Japanese, and I went to feed the koi fish, the lady working there said that they're called koi fish because of 恋; they look like they are kissing, they way they move their mouths. ^^
Oh, I see! I didn't know the difference. I suppose we are both scooping and saving them! Saving them from the other people who might try to scoop them. Lol. ^^
That's kind of sad. My mom works so hard to make my birthday cake; if I didn't eat it, she would punish me! O.o What kind of cake was it~? I like chocolate cake with cherries. ^.^
At the DMV, spot check days are decided, and that is also where we get our license.
Our school just offers the classes for free and gives you the road test.
After that, you have to take your papers to the DMV to actually obtain the license. Even though we need not pay for driving school, it is still expensive to buy the license!
Today I ate a lot of lemon cake! I am so full, but I haven't even eaten supper yet. Lol. ^^'
Yup! My school's driving test is not as hard as many. So I passed on the first try~. ^.^
A spot check day is a day that, if you were born on it, you have to retake the road test at the DMV even if you've already passed it in school. The spot check days are kept secret, so you won't know whether or not you'll have to retake it! It makes people very nervous!
Thanks for telling me the terms in Japanese. ^.^ There are driving schools here, too, but many high school students pass their school's driving test instead of having to pay for driving school. The school driving tests are much easier than at the DMV!
After we pass the class in school and the school's road test, we have to get in and record 50 hours of driving with a parent/guardian. Then we go to the DMV to get a license! ^^
Right now my license is a piece of paper. Soon I will get a plastic one in the mail. ^^
Yes, we say "summer break". ^^ In America, we consider a holiday to be something like Christmas or Valentine's Day, not just whenever you're not working or not at school. The British also use 'holiday' to refer to a trip, while we say 'vacation'. I find the British use of 'holiday' to be confusing in having two similar meanings like that~. ^^ For example, Halloween is a holiday, but not a day off of school!
As for 'fancy', Americans usually say 'like'. In England, someone might ask, "Do you fancy someone?" while in America we say, "Do you like someone?"
I wonder if British English might be easier for a Japanese person to pronounce. ^^ As for me though, I can't do an English accent very well. Lol. ^^
Oh wow! ^^ So pretty! I wish I could've gone. I haven't gone on a trip in a long time. My best friend Hana-chan has gone on multiple trips this summer! But there aren't a lot of places Yoshi can go; so many places don't allow dogs. >.< And we can't stand to leave him, because he misses us. ^^'
Yeah, I've already played it almost 200 times! Lulu & Lolo are 元気いっぱい, which is very encouraging! ^^
Has summer break begun in Japan? Gina and I go back to school in mid-August. Our summer break is more than half over. I never want to go back to school! >.<
Well, there's one thing pirates say a lot: "Aargh!"
I'm not sure what it means, though! I think maybe it has no meaning in particular; it's an all-purpose kind of phrase. They also say, "Yo ho ho!" and call people "Matey."
You could try looking up a guide on how to speak like a pirate. ^.^
Here's a brief one I found in Japanese:
http://youril.blog68.fc2.com/blog-entry-59.html
I guess so~! ^.^ It wants to make sure I can show my love of Japan! ♥
It's called International Talk Like A Pirate Day~. ^.^
Yeah, I know right? I got really lucky this time! ^^ I like this gacha; it has so much Japan-related stuff. ^.^ Is it for the Olympics or something~? Go Japan! ^.^ 応援してるよ～！
My daughter is to have a concert in September too.
I've been busy with helping her prepare for concerts.
She's going to participate two concerts this month and have a concert in September and October.
She's joined concert hold by our town government but this will be her first time to have her concert in our town.
We are from an old family, so many people cheer and support us.
We'd like them to enjoy the concert.
I wish we lived near so that I could help you!
There was a hevy rain today here, how was your place?
甘酒ってすごく身体に良いんだってね(*'▽')
若い頃は苦手だったけど、最近妙に美味しく感じるわ(⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡
玄米酵母液って市販されているのかしら？名前だけでも身体に優しそう
倒れても倒れても不屈の精神で起き上がり
七転び八起きを実践する週末を乗り切りました（大げさｗ）
いや～、、、
昼でも夜でも暑すぎて本当に倒れそうでしたが
心の底から野球三連戦を楽しめたのでルンルンです♪
If you were here, I would give you some! My grandma brought some of her delicious cookies! ^^
I did the math, and apparently if I keep doing this well every day, I will get the ごまあざらし that sits on your head just a couple days before the event ends. I hope I am not busy with school. >.< I see that you're holding one! おめでとう～！（＾。＾）

You get five buckets every day? How? O.o I thought the only way was from catching the goldfish in the bubbles.
My grandparents are visiting tomorrow! I haven't seen them in months. Can't wait! ^^
待望の週末がやってきました(*'▽')
金曜日に手のかかるヤンチャ坊主が休んだので平和な1日を過ごしました。
その代わり仲の悪い3姉妹が大喧嘩して妹が大泣きしました。あまりの酷さに、
周りの子供たちが唖然と見ていました。母親が迎えに来ないで3人で歩いて帰るので
母親に事の次第を報告しておきました。喧嘩したら厳しく叱ってくださいと言われたけど
叱るのが得意じゃないんだよね(;'∀')感情的に怒っちゃうから…
1日の水分摂取量をメモしているのかな？
昨夜大量に汗をかいて途中で起きて着替えたわ(;'∀')寝る前の水分摂取が多かったかしら？？？
Yeah! ^^ They really do look like they're kissing. They have funny faces, lol. ^.^♥ Sooo cute. I love watching them. Apparently koi fish are a symbol of love in Japan. ♥

コーデ可愛い( *´艸｀) ﾌﾌ
猫さんコーデだと金魚すくいが、すごく上手そうに見えますねｗ
どんなに可愛くたってハンターですもんｗ
リアでも金魚を飼いたい気持ちはありますが
元野良の愛猫の野生が目覚めてしまいそうなので…ガマンガマンです(｀ー´)ｲﾋﾋ
明け方の落雷は避けてほしいものです。。。
って自然相手には無理ですよね＾＾；

あ、そうね？じゃあ、今日は金魚をたくさん救うんだよ！＾＾そのゲームが好き！
水分摂りすぎると胃腸が悪くなって秋が大変だって。。。
熱中症にならない程度の水分を補給しながら頑張るわ。
でも口当たりが良いから、ついつい豆乳やのむヨーグルトを
飲んじゃうんだ(´;ω;｀)
Oh, happy (belated) birthday to your son! ^^
頭がグルグル回って暑さも手伝ってショートしましたｗ
むしろショートしてた方が考えが冴えるかも！？
生活が不規則になって、便秘気味です(;'∀')
水分を多めにとって改善していきたいです。
8月もよろしくお願いします(*- -)(*_ _)ペコリ

デカいケーキのお持ち帰りができれば良いのにね♪
甘いのばっかりだと暑い時にはツラいかも＾＾；

朝から晴天です☀昨日から梅干しを干しています。
土用の時期に干すと、柔らかくなるらしい…
昨日はウナギを食べて今日はピザを食べる予定^^
明日からの激務に備えて栄養ばっかり摂ってる気がする( ´艸｀)
今年もキュートな盆踊りが始まりましたね♪
３日から始まる金魚すくいも楽しみ～❤
コンサートが近いんですね？
素敵な体験、楽しんでらして下さいね♪♪
なかなか高校で選択する場所じゃない修学旅行だったので
楽しかった思い出があります。
その倍くらいは怒られることがあったと記憶もしてますがｗ
車があれば現地で動きやすいので良いんですけど
行くまでが大仕事なんですよね＾＾；
間違いなく寝ちゃいますｗ
As for 'fancy', Americans usually say 'like'. In England, someone might ask, "Do you fancy someone?" while in America we say, "Do you like someone?"
I wonder if British English might be easier for a Japanese person to pronounce. ^^ As for me though, I can't do an English accent very well. Lol. ^^
Oh, yeah, we've been hiking with Yoshi before. He gets tired quickly and has to be carried! Lol. ^^
Hm, I never really watch baseball on TV, or anything on TV for that matter. My mom often does, and she claps and cheers a lot!
Btw, Carrie, using phrases like "summer holidays" and "fancy" makes you sound British! Are you practicing your British English? ^^
連休を駆使して車で山陽一人旅でもしたいです♪
もちろん体力との相談もありますが（苦笑）
高校の修学旅行が倉敷・広島・萩・津和野という
シブいコースだったのでもう一度同じ道をたどるのも
いいかなぁ＾＾
素敵とお水お届けしました。
遊園地行く機会ないのですが、行った時はのって、写真とってました。
旅行、楽しく素敵な時間を過ごされたようでよかったです(*^^*)
Yeah, I've already played it almost 200 times! Lulu & Lolo are 元気いっぱい, which is very encouraging! ^^
Has summer break begun in Japan? Gina and I go back to school in mid-August. Our summer break is more than half over. I never want to go back to school! >.<
充実した旅行だったようで何よりです(o^-^o)
旅疲れが後から出るといけませんから、体調にはお気をつけ下さいね。
帽子、どうにかゲットできてホッとしてます♪お褒めの言葉ありがとうございます♡
暑いですけど気分もスッキリ楽しんでくださいね～♪
夜は野球みたいな～
ちょうど広島で中日三連戦やってるからｗ
猫2匹いるのですか？いいなあ…
うす茶かグレーの赤ちゃんをテレビでみると、♪♪(●^∀^●)♪♪ってなります。
私は16歳の頃から馬が好きです。その頃から競馬もみてました（笑）。
Hey Carrie, I just downloaded a really cute Japanese learning game to my phone. Lulu & Lolo (ルルロロ) teach Japanese! ^.^ It's really fun!
ご旅行ですか？道中、水分補給には気をつけて楽しんで下さい＾＾
訪問ありがとうございます。
素敵＆お水をどうぞ～♪
洗濯機は、新しいのがやって来て、快適に洗濯できるようになりました(^_^.)
広島、いってらしっしゃい!!
気を付けて…楽しんで来てくださいね。

猫、友達で飼っている方が多いです。
好きな種類とかありますか？
素敵＆お水をどうぞ～♪
今日は、洗濯機が壊れて、大変でした(>_<)
電気屋さんに、洗濯機を見に行ったり、コインランドリーに洗濯いったり…
バタバタな一日でした(*_*)
海賊になったよ！すごいね！＾＾
一緒に誰かの宝物を盗みに行こう！ｗ
きゃりーさんはお店もですが、お庭もハイセンスで素敵です(^^♪
私はなかなか庭と店に手を入れられてないので、見習わないと…。

ようやくミートが再会してくれたようで
しゃがんだり走ったりできるようになりました！
でも・・・
今まで感じてなかった足首やひざに少々の痛みを
感じております＾＾；
治りきってないようですｗ
訪問ありがとうございます。
ガーデンをメインにニコタを始めたので、なるべく季節感がでる庭を目指しています。
コーデも、アイテムを少しずつ増やしながら、いろいろトライしています。
いつでもいらしてくださいね(*^_^*)
ニコ店、とても素敵なデザインですね！！物凄くお洒落♪♪
