1. A Northwesterner. We were in southern California this past weekend, and I thought I was going to die from the heat! I even got a very embarrassing rash on my face (it looked like a mustache!). Also at the end of the day, I felt as though I had a layer of debris on my skin. When I was living down there, I was fine, but now that I got my taste of the PNW, I can't go back! When Dan and I used to live in Redlands, we lived in a small 1,200 sq ft. loft above an endodontist. It was really old and...really old, but we loved living there! Since the place was fairly small, our electricity bill each month was around $12. But one month (summer started), we got a bill for over $400! We were like there has to be a mistake. We thought maybe they combined our bill with the endodontist's downstairs. But nope. It was just really hot, and we used a lot of ac. Jeez! That's like 400 bean burritos! (Dan's currency)
2. An ajumma. This weekend, Dan's mom gave me a bag of really good gochu garu, and it made me so happy! Some other ajumma symptoms I've been having? Sharing kimchi's and banchans, golfing with a bunch of other "ajummas," scolding stranger kids jaywalking... Oh boy, I think I need to go watch me some spongebob squarepants.
3. A Lee. I just received my new social security card. I am Esther Jihae Lee. For those of you who knew me as Esther Chung for the most of my life, did you know that until 2003, my official name was Ji Hae Chung? Well, I do like being a Lee. We visited Dans family this weekend because it was his dad's 60th birthday. Dan's family is very different form mine. I remember when we first started dating, I would wonder why they were all mad at each other. They don't talk, they yell. And if you know mine, we don't talk, we squeak. Haha, just kidding...well kinda. The funny thing is, at home, I think I act like a Lee and Dan acts like a Chung. Well, not completely, but more so that in public.
4. Sick of DBS. I love DBS. Everytime we go down to California, we plan on eating DBS. And everytime we do, I overeat, and I hate it! It makes me feel gross for about a week, and then I love it again. I never learn.
5. In love with these girls. How could you not?
6. Tired. War In. I hope you get it...it's corny!

Hahaha. Thnks for the comment. As for my wife, I wouldn't try it. Can be very humbling. She kicks my ass from the blues! . . or at least she used to. Low 80's on a bad day. Although. . . . now would be a good time to have a go at it cuz she hasn't picked up a club in over a year. Kick 'em while they're down so to speak. hahaha.
