Lazy Learner
The breakdown of the radio ruined my motivation of studying English. On top of that， Hillary Clinton doesn’t captivate me as much as Harry Potter. I read a couple of Japanese books while Eve was being taken after by her usual volunteer baby-sitter. Now I feel a little guilty about that.

Oh， my gadget!
My radio IC recorder got broken! I’ve always kept it on me since I got it， listening something in English for study， and that was my way of eliminating stress.When I found it completely broken， I felt at a loss what to do. Fortunately， it will be repaired for free because the failure occurred during the warranty period. I just have to live without it for a few days.

A Newborn Baby
I visited a friend who had given birth to a child about two months ago. She also has three-month older daughter than Eve and we’d often had our kids play together before. But she went to stay her parents’ house for the delivery for some time， and returned home recently. This was the first time Eve and I met her second daughter.She was sooooooo cute and adrable! I was amazed by the lightness of the weight when I hold her. After seeing her， even Eve’s tiny hands looked huge.Babies always make me feel comforted.

Eve’s Haircut
My husband cut Eve’s hair after dinner. He is a superb barber. Everyone who asks me who cut Eve’s hair compliments his trimming skill. He did a good job again today. While he was cutting her hair， we had Eve see her favorite video program. It was a 30-minute program and haircut took only 20 minutes. Everyone， including Eve， was happy that evening.By the way， her hairstyle and mine appeared to become the same.

Tokyo Disneyland
We went to Tokyo Disneyland because my husband wanted. I wasn’t sure if it was because of the cold whether but it wasn’t so crowded for a Saturday. I won the seats in the center area by a computer ballot to see the special show for their 20th anniversary. Eve really enjoyed the show， yelling and jumping up and down. My husband and I enjoyed seeing her. We spent a whole pleasant day.

Went to the Library
We went to the library in the morning， where I read and my husband let Eve play at the chidren’s space in the building. I finished the book I’d been reading and borrowed a biography of Hillary Clinton. We ate a quick lunch on the way and returned home. We didn’t do anything special after that. It was a quiet day.

Haircut
My husband has four-day holiday in this weekend. I asked him to look after Eve and went to the beauty salon to have my hair cut. I’ve been wanting to make my hair very short， and when I was asked by my beautician how I’d like my hair， I said without thinking， "Make it very short." Although she seemed a little surprised， she started without hesitating and did a good job. I loved my new look.I was a bit worried if my husband wouldn’t like it but he got just surprised and said he liked it too.

Recent Reading
After I finished reading the fourth of Harry Potter， I started one book of another favorite series， "Baby-Sitters Club." But I haven’t read much for the last few days. I’ve decided not to read while I was trying to put Eve to sleep. I’ve decided not to stay up late and read. Both of the time used to be my reading time. But I resolved to rather go to bed and get up early so that Eve would do that too.Today， I got a call from the library that said now they could rend me a book I had placed my name on the waiting list， "Living History." It’s an autobiography of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yes， I’ve waited. It seems readable.In the meanwhile， I also recieved the fifth volume of Harry Potter I ordered the day befor yesterday. I really want to start it as soon as possible!Will my resolutin of keeping early hours survive?

Medical Checkup
I took Eve to the doctor for her checkup. He said she was shorter and lighter than the average， but there was nothing to worry about her health and growing. That was a relief. The clinic was so crowded with kids Eve’s age， she got excited and wanted stay and play there after the checkup was done. Taking her back from the place was the toughest job of today.

Bought a book (AGAIN)
I finished reading the fourth volume of "Harry Potter" series， "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Although it had a dark ending as most reviews said， it was amazing! And I thought the darkness implicated the hope of the very end. At first I was going to borrow the fifth one from the library， but my turn was seventh now and I didn’t think I could wait that long. I ended up buying it online. Oooooh， I did it again. Maybe I should resolve not to buy a book any more， at least before moving.

New Car
My husband and I have been considering buying a new car when we move to Saitama. Our car is a stick shirt， 4WD and eleven years old in this May.Today he shopped around for a car along with Eve， while I could spend time alone. He came home with an armful of brochures. We agreed which one we would buy， then discussed about what kind of optional accessories we would want. Now the last thing we have to decide is whether to install a car navigation DVD system. I don’t think we realy need it， it would be convenient in a traffic jam though. I personally think only driving an automatic car would make it easier than now.

Irritated Day
I woke up and found myself very irritated with no particuar reason. I thought today was that kind of day， so I told my husband not to get on my nerve. He knew me well and did exactly what I wanted. Thanks to him， the day had passed without any trouble.

Friend’s Novel
I went to a book store where I came across paperbaked books laid out flat. The novel was written by a woman novelist and she was one of my college friends.I knew she had published some books but didn’t know she was this popular authoress. There was a small poster around the books showing her photo.I was happy for her success although we had never kept in touch with each other since we were graduated from the college. But I had to admit I felt a little jealous of her at the same time.

Depressing news
My husband came home with an announcement. He will be transfered to Saitama in March and we’ll have to move there. It was sort of disappointing news，much anticipated though. I hoped to live in somewhere rather farther from Tokyo， like Hokkaido or Okinawa， or even Aomori would be better.But I have to live with it. I’ll start thinking of the new life in Saitama.

Hobby
My husband abrupty asked to me "What do you think my hobby is?" and "Do you think if I have any hobbies?"He seemed to start worrying that he might be a dull person with no hobbies. For my opinion， it means he’s been less busy with work these days than the last year. Anyway， I thought a while and said， "How about traveling? You like to travel and all that jazz." I really think it’s his decent hobby.In the meantime， one of my favorite pastime in fact is to study English. I don’t have any necessity of learning it. I don’t have any foreign friends whom I keep in touch with regularly， either. Actually， I’m not communicative so much that I don’t have any strong hope to talk with someone in English. So why do I keep studying this earnestly? It’s because I just like it.Come to think of my husband， a grat hobby seeker， I may be a lucky person.

Had to stay inside
I had three packages to send. One of them was so big that I was unable to hold all of them and Eve in my arm. (Insidently， our apartment is on the fifth floor of the building which doesn’t have an elevator.) I called the post office to ask to pick them up at my house. Someone who answered my call said， "Okay， we’ll go there after 1 o’clock."I waited after lunch. Eve wanted to play outside but I wouldn’t leave home. She became fussier as time went， but I just waited while I tried to sooth her.It was after 4 o’clock that a man finally turned up. Apparently we could’ve played outside after lunch as usual.

Cut Finger
Eve and I went to a shopping mall. Every time we go grocery shopping there， she insists to hold a small shopping basket the store lends out for kids and refuses to get into a shopping cart. So today as usual， I let her do what she wanted. The supermarket was more crowded than usual maybe because it was the last day of the three-day-holidays. We finished shopping and walked into the elevator hand in hand in haste because it took a little longer I had expected. Eve was just walking around in the cage. We arrived at the floor we were supposed to get off. And when the door was opening， she got her finger in the door!!I was shocked! She started crying shortly after I picked her up. Fortunately， her cut was not so serious. But I thought I should REALLY be careful together with her.

A Fight
My husband and I are now in a state of cold. I have no idea what in my behavior made him angry， but when I got back to the living room after putting Eve to bed and started writing this diary on the laptop computer， he suddenly got in a terrible mood. He didn’t say a single word and went into bed (at nine!!!) Why is he so fume? Oooh， I really hate this.

What a easy way!
I’ve made several New Year’s Resolutions. One of them is to read 2 million words in English this year. This means I’d read about 170，000 words a month. Today， I checked the wordage of the book I was reading now， the fourth volume of ’Harry Potter’ series， and found out it had 191，000 words in it. So do I have to enjoyably read just a single book this month? In fact， I am hooked on the book. What a easy resolution I’ve made this year!

Today was this year……
Today was this year’s first day Eve’s babysitter watched her. It was after three weeks and hardly Eve and I saw her waiting for us at the entrance of the child center when Eve broke out in a large grin and make a run for her. They both seemed happy to play together， and of course I was also very happy to spend quality time without Eve for awhile.

Windy Day
I didn’t go out with Eve these days except only when it was necessary. I thought it was better for calmig her. Yesterday， we took a short walk， and today， we just went grocery shopping by car. For it was windy and very cold， I didn’t think it was a good idea to spend only a short time outside.Now Eve’s becoming gentle again and I’m relieved.

New-Year-born baby
I turned on the radio this afternoon， when a news program was going out. The radio station being AFN， American Forces Network， that was a local news of their military base in Japan. And I was amazed at one of the news. It was a topic about a new-born baby. He was on the news just because he was born in New Year season! They described him as though he was a royal baby， like he weighs 3000g and stands 50cm or something.I was born in January 1st years and years ago. I wondered if I had been a celebrity like him then.

What to feed?
The main concern about raising a child to me is that what I should feed her everyday. Even now that Eve is just about to enter the rebellious phase， I don’t care much about it， because every parent says "it’s just a process of growth"， or "it’ll be over when the time comes." From the day Eve was born feeding has been my greatest care.Even when I was not a mother and cooked just for my husband and me， food on a daily basis was a big problem to me. And now， it’s a far bigger trouble than that time. Tonight， Eve totally refused the dinner I served. That made me a little panic. I wonder what other people cook for their children as well as adults.

What’s wrong with you?
Eve was soooooooo fussy today. She got up crying and screaming ’Iya iya iya iya!’ I struggled to change the diapers， feed her breakfast， and so forth. She could hardly play alone in the daytime and kept teasing me to pick her up. And it was when she woke up from a nap that I just couldn’t stop her crying. Even when I tried to hold her， even when I tried to give her some snacks， and even when I tried to read her favorite picture books or sing her favorite songs， she just cried， cried， shaking her head， and cried. When she went to sleep， she had puffiness under her eyes. Sigh.......

New Year Housecleaning
I cleaned the whole house today. Altough it’s a custom to do a year-end housecleaning in Japan， I had so many other things to do at the end of the last year. On top of that， my husband had told me that he might be transferred this spring and we might have to move. Those things discouraged me to do the cleanup.But today， I felt so disgusted at the messy rooms that I couldn’t help cleaning. My husband took Eve out and did some grocery shopping for me. It helped a lot. Now I feel a little better with our relatively tidy house.

Terrible New Year
Since we were back from a trip in Australia on New Year’s Eve， our daughter， Eve， has been fussy. She keeps saying "Iya， iya， iya， iya"， or sometimes "No， no， no， no!"， shaking her head. She instantly starts crying if something unpleasant happens. My husband and I are now a little tired of that. I wonder if it’s because the travel experience has some effects on her or because she’s becoming the terrible twos already. I have no idea how I’d spend a day alone with her after her Dad is back to work on Monday.

話すように日記を書く
昨年の５月、英語日記をつけ始めてから、約半年、四苦八苦しながら続けてきましたが、この１ヶ月ほど、お休みしてしまいました。理由の第一は、私に根性が足りないことなのですが、言い訳は他にもありまして（＾＾；①幼子をかかえているため、時間がなかなか取れない（英語力がないので、１行の日記を書くのにも、ものすご～く時間がかかる）②専業主婦で変わり映えのない毎日のため、ネタがなかなか見つからない（英語力がないので、その英語力で書けるネタが思いつかない）ということで、ちょっと挫折気味でした。でも、せっかく新年なので、やはりもう一度、日記を再開したいところ…。そこで、ちょっとやり方を変えてみることにしました。「１日１０分、話すように日記を書く」やり方を試してみようと思います。話す時には、いちいち辞書を引いたりしない（というかできない）ように、とにかく１０分間、誰かの前で話しているつもりで、間違いも気にせず、とにかく書いてみようと思います。ですから、これまで以上に間違いが増えると思いますが、余裕があれば、あとから直すことにして、基本的には「書き流す」つもりです。これなら、１日１０分とにかくPCに向かうだけなので、続けられるんじゃないだろうか？（淡い期待…）そのうちスラスラ書ける日が来るのを夢見て、しばらく頑張ってみます。
