I haven't neglected blogging. You can find my personal ramblings at www.lilsprinkles.com. Thanks for following. Maybe I'll return to this blog again at a later time but in the meantime, find me here. Take care!

Happy Belated Easter!

2012-04-10T20:22:00.003-07:00

And to think I was going to try to post once a month. Even that I can't do! I'm even behind on this Easter post that I started on Sunday. Now that I'm working, I'm very selective with what I do during my free time. I barely have enough time to take a shower in the evenings.

I had some quiet time while the girls were taking a nap, so it was nice to catch up on my blogs to see what everyone has been up to. Easter Sunday service was a blessing. The girls had fun in school and got to ride a train and take one small jump in the bounce house. I have a fear of bounce houses that are not fully supervised!!

Here are some recent pics of Lila at school.

From one half day to four full days, my how things have changed! She seems to be having a blast. Her fave part of school is the activity art table and going to the library. I'm such a bad mom though. I return the books late...go figure since I have all these late fines on my library card.

Anyhow, so now the big question that I get asked is, "How is work?"..and my response is always, it's fine. However, if I really contemplate on how work is, it's actually pretty great in comparison to my previous jobs. A 15-20 minute commute in the morning, my own office (just moved in on Good Friday!), flexible hours, NO MORE MONTH END OR YEAR END CLOSE!!! Woohoo to that! Though I do miss the days when I see these crazy munchkins 24/7...

Till my next post...

Happy Birthday!

2011-11-29T20:52:00.000-08:00

This year was the first year I had to experience celebrating two birthdays at the same time. I survived :P

Can't believe the kiddos are all growing up!

Love you girls!

Lately

2011-10-06T13:49:00.000-07:00

I'm back again! I have pics galore and an update on what we've been up to! Lila started drop off preschool at Eastside Christian Preschool which is about five minutes away from us. We've trying it out once a week to transition her full time or part time (part time, I'm hoping!!) before the dreaded moment I have to go back to working. Lila did great the first day and didn't even shed a tear. I want to say the reason is because she's attending school with her buddy Emi! We hear they get into mischief, but they are the youngest ones there so they have some growing up to do and learning from the big kids. The second week was hard, and she cried and became all dramatic. I called the Director when I got home, and she said Lila was fine and was painting with Emi. How soon they forget!!! I got our first set of pics from school for what they've been up to for September!

Crafting

Playing

Pre-Kinder Gardening

The school is growing an organic vegetable garden, and the kids are learning about the whole process. I'm excited for her to learn, and I'm LOVING the quiet time at home. It's nice to just have a few hours alone with Tabs and to get some work done around the house. I already have a routine down - get my grocery shopping done, go home and do the dishes, throw in a load of laundry, start prepping for dinner, and have time to watch a tivo'd show. Doesn't sound like fun, but just being able to do things like this without being interrupted is quite nice. While I'm busy doing all of this, Tabs is busy taking her morning nap. She's so easy going and just follows along with Lila's schedule. I mean she's forced to, but honestly I don't have to worry about her eating or taking the bottle or sleeping. On the flip side, she's such the curious little one crawling from one place to another and getting into everything. I really have to watch her. I've already had to take out pieces of our rug and paper and crayons from her mouth. It doesn't matter what she finds, she will stick it in her mouth!

silly girl... Last weekend we went to the Irvine pumpkin patch with the whole gang!

Look no hands!

LB!

Family pic

Girls with their face paint minus LB who was chillin in her stroller. She must have been tired from all the jumping in the bouncer! That's it..till next time! I'll be posting about Tabi's bday next :-)

3-0 is the new 20!!!

2011-07-07T23:28:00.001-07:00

long time! i decided to get back into blogging again. life has been crazy here. lilsprinkles has consumed my days and nights. if you're reading this, and you have nothing to do the weekend of july 16th, come to the renegade fair! it's going to be at the la state historic park.

i wanted to remember this crazy day, so i decided to blog about it! i turned 30 today. yay! NOT! actually it doesn't matter to me. it doesn't feel any different. i still feel young. i'm going to feel even younger this weekend when i celebrate with my girlfriends. :-) my body feels the pain of being one year older though. i cannot lose the last several pounds for the life of me!

sooo...what did i do today to celebrate this big day? my sis took me out to eat lunch at our fave buffet - VIP. lila had a meltdown and tabs had one too because she heard lila crying. it was a sad sight. i wanted to eat a couple more plates of food, but with the two of them crying i had to leave. i guess it was a blessing in disguise. i saved myself from eating another 1000+ calories of unhealthy food. the hubs said he would be home late tonight, so he told me to treat myself to something good to eat. hmmmm...suhlungtang sounded so good to me, esp in this 85 degree weather. i packed up the kids in the car, got to the restaurant, ergo'd tabs, waited for 10 minutes in a non-air conditioned restaurant, took lila to go pee pee in the bathroom (remember i'm still attached to tabs), and to top it off, the suhlungtang was not good. today was just a bad day of eating for me, and i love to eat.

anyways, i have updates with pics!!

almost potty trained! the past two nights have been a big breakthrough with dry diapers!

tabs at 7 mo. happy baby for sure! she's worm crawling!

lila insists on going inside the crib after tabs wakes up. it's a cute sight to see. this makes me want them to share a room!

k, till next time!

Easter!

2011-04-15T20:32:00.001-07:00

We had to visit the Easter bunny this year! Contemplated on whether or not Tabi needed an Easter bunny pic, and I had to do it since Lila got one when she was her age at 4 months.

My how things have changed in the last two months. Lila's relationship with her sis has grown leaps and bounds! She'll share her toys with her, say "Bless you Tabi" when she sneezes, and most of all, she'll be sweet to her throughout the day. It's been awhile since I had to discipline her about being a meanie towards her sis.

Loves to pose like this with tabs.

Seriously..she's such a sweet natured baby. It's so fun to see her laugh now, esp when her cousins make her laugh. They love her so much already! It's the cutest thing to see. They'll definitely be ready when their baby brother OR baby sister make their debut! I can't wait!

Happy 2011!

2011-01-15T19:31:00.000-08:00

Ahhh my first post for the new year and my first post since Tabie was born. It's been awhile. :)

First off, I want to give much props to all the moms out there. Esp moms of 2+ more kids! I knew it was going to be tough but never did I imagine it was going to be this hard. (To all the moms with a +1 on the way, hehe don't worry, after the first few weeks it gets better!) Don't want to scare you guys, but you know how it was with my firstborn.

Lila went into a slight depression and had a major jealous streak once she realized Tabie was not just a visitor at our home. She came to visit me at the hospital, and once she saw me holding Tabie, it went downhill from there. She wouldn't dare come near me. I wondered if she thought she was being "replaced", and that just killed me. Let me tell you, I had some major emotional breakdowns.

It didn't help either with the pain of nursing. I look back and think of Lila's newborn days and realized she was an easy baby when it came to nursing and sleeping. It's the exact opposite with Tabie. When people told me nursing was worse than giving birth, I couldn't relate. Of course, I never wanted to admit that to those moms. They'd prob want to strangle me. But now I UNDERSTAND! The pain that came with nursing T was almost unbearable. I wanted to give up. I was very close to doing that until I went to St. Jude Wellness Center to see their Lactaction Consultant. T was not latching on properly. It was such a poor latch that I already formed two big blisters on my you know what. After a few days of just keeping at it and clenching my teeth, my blisters soon healed and bf became painless.

The sleep is another story. Lila was a eat and sleep kind of gal. Hardly ever woke up crying at night. Never made a peep. T on the otherhand loves to hear her own voice. She is still on Zantac for reflux, but it definitely is getting better. I've been on many forums to see what other parents say about grunting children in the wee hours of the morning, and they all say their children grow out of it around 2-4 months old. Crossing my fingers that I won't have to stay up from 3-6am any longer. I'll prob look back at this post when T's one year old and wish I back at this stage. They do grow up so fast. I can't believe she's already 7 weeks old!

As far as Lila's and Tabie's relationship goes, T is still caged in her area. Lila made huge progress though, and I can see that she understands when it's T's time to eat. It used to be a big deal when it came time for her feedings. I needed to make sure I had the remote handy, a new toy out (new doesn't mean "new" but it means that I've put away an old toy of hers and I'm bringing it back out after a week or so), or a snack at her side. Just thinking how it was during the first week and how it is now, it's a HUGE difference. A good difference. Slowly but surely they'll be bffs, right!?

See...

(getting ready to dogpile her till I intervened)

and the single shot of Tabitha...

Cooing has officially started!

Turquoise, pink, and yellow

2010-07-20T20:32:00.000-07:00

The colors for baby #2's room. Hello again! I've been neglecting my personal blog. :/

With every spare minute I have, I've been consumed with gathering ideas for redecorating not only Lila's room, but baby #2's room, and the office/guest room. The hubs is freaking out that I'm going to spend all this money, but I promised him I would be doing it on a budget. It's kinda fun to do things on a budget anyways. Makes me appreciate all the hard work. What I'm hating is that I can't do things on my own - like picking up furniture and moving things around OR painting OR hanging stuff on the walls. I guess I can do the latter, but I've been getting light headed these days. My excuse!

Seriously, preg #2 is soooooo different from the first! Who knew? Esp cause I'm having another girl again!

My first purchase was this lamp base from PBteen (on sale now!):

Imagine cute vintage baby blocks inside? I love the idea that I can replace whatever goes inside as my kids get older.

I have an ivory colored lamp shade that has been sitting in my garage. I'm hoping I can spruce it up by adding some ribbon or fabric to it.

Anyhow, my journey to decorating will be posted on the lil sprinkles blog, so find me there folks!

I finally found his twin

2010-05-17T20:39:00.000-07:00

I've never been a Dancing with the Stars fan. I'm a huge reality tv show junkie, but for some reason I never got into DWTS. I got sucked in this season...maybe because I wanted to see Kate Gosselin fail or maybe because I had a secret crush on Evan Lysacek!

Every time I saw Evan dance, I kept thinking to myself that he reminded me of someone. It finally clicked today! Hello, Lee Min Ho from F4!!!! I'm watching yet another K Drama, Personal Preference, which features Lee Min Ho. Still hot as ever. :P

Do you see the resemblance or it just me?

A better pic of Evan...

Drool. Is he gay??

I will forever be a teeny bopper.

happy birthday to the twinsies

2010-05-10T13:35:00.000-07:00

We had a blast at their birthday party at Fun City. It was so crazy and hectic, I didn't even get a picture of the twins. :(

Since it was her second time here, I'm assuming that's why she wasn't as scared? Maybe she remembered the slides? She had to because she went down the monstrous one like 5 or 6x. Even my mom took her down on one of the slides.

sis friend taking her down the slide...

then my sis...

then my mom...

Maybe I need to get a bounce house for her 2nd birthday??? She absolutely loves these slides and bouncers. I thought she would be a scaredy cat!

On another note, she got her first major "owie" this week. She fell down our front porch steps and hit her eye and scraped it. I felt HORRIBLE! I was watching her from behind and thought she was able to go down the stairs by scooting her butt down. She decided to somersault down the steps though. Her first black eye...

Easter

2010-04-07T08:23:00.001-07:00

Can't believe a year has gone by, and I can still recall everything that happened in 2009 Easter!

I got to see Lila in action during the Easter egg hunt, and it was HILARIOUS! She would pick up an egg, shake it, and depending on if she liked the sound (I'm guessing here), she would either drop it back down or put it in her bag. No rhyme or reason why she chose certain eggs to make the cut.

"Shake, shake, shake"

She hit the jackpot!

With her unnis

Yay for Spring Break! Time to relax and play with friends :)

BFF

2010-03-26T09:31:00.000-07:00

March was a sad month for our family, so when I see moments like this...gosh, it makes me so happy and appreciative of the lil things in life. Here is my "nephew" and my little one. BFFs already! She loves JH, and I'm seriously so grateful that JH is so good to her. He even feeds her dinner while I cook and takes the sand off her feet after playing at the park. Did I mention he's only a fourth grader? That's true family love.

March...a month of new beginnings

2010-03-01T08:38:00.000-08:00

I got a job! A tutor/daycare job that is. I will be watching my cousin's kid who is a fourth grader. I'll be picking him up from school, helping him with his homework, and tutoring him in English and Math. It will be interesting! He came over yesterday afternoon, and Lila did ok. She offered him some ca-ca as he was leaving, so I'm assuming he passed her test. I'll find out today how it will be like to have two kids in the house?!! Granted he's old enough to take care of himself, but now Lila won't have my undivided attention. Uh oh.

On another note, Lila has been showing signs of not wanting to take her morning nap. It's been taking longer for her to fall asleep. I can hear her throwing the toys that are in her crib to the floor. Is she being defiant?

Changes, changes!

Disneyland!

2010-02-25T14:54:00.000-08:00

Finally sucked it up and bought an annual pass. Cost me an arm and a leg but it's ok. To see Lila light up and start screaming in Small World made it all worth it!

No line! Woohoo. It pays to go right when the park opens.

The moms I went with are avid Disneyland visitors, so they had it all planned out.

Park at Downtown Disney.
Ride It's a Small World.
Give the kids a snack as we head on over to CA adventure.
Get free tortillas at the tortilla exhibit.
Visit the characters...this time it was Pluto. Lila burst into tears when she saw him. Maybe next year?
Catch the 11:30 showing of Mickey's Playhouse.
Ride Heimlich's Chew Chew Train. Did this all in 3 hours and made it back to my car to get free parking. haha.

The dreaded first driving ticket

2010-02-11T21:42:00.000-08:00

I went to a baby shower this past weekend, and it was held in a beautifully decorated home. The shower was oh so cute too and the games...TOO MUCH FUN!

So I came home that afternoon and decided I would finally do something about my horrid windows! I bought curtains! I'm SOOOOO nervous because I'm not a curtain person, but I was inspired to take a risk. Then I decided I needed a bench for my bedroom, a vanity for the corner of my bedroom, barstools, decor for my staircase walls, etc. Ugh!

My search has sadly come to a halt though. I got pulled over for the FIRST time, let me repeat the first time ever in my history of 12 years of driving and got my first ticket - the cell phone ticket. I really have to hit myself because I even saw the Oprah episode of how dangerous it is to use the cellphone while driving. In my defense, I was using it at a stoplight to check emails. :/ I always told myself if I ever got pulled over, I would start crying but that didn't happen. I got SOOOOO defensive and this cop was an A$$. He asked me why I was using the phone, and my response went something like this...

Me: I'm so sorry officer. I was trying to lower the volume to vibrate on my phone so that if someone called my daughter wouldn't hear it because it's time for her to nap. (stupid excuse, huh?)

Lila: Ahhhhhhh! Screaming and kicking her legs in a happy way. She was in the best mood.

Cop: She doesn't look tired to me. Give me your ID.

I got so discouraged of my tarnished record that I don't want to decorate anymore.

:(

First week of school

2010-02-05T08:27:00.000-08:00

First off, I'm home! Yippee! Paris was amazingly beautiful, but my home is the best place to be.

I was a bit nervous about taking Lila to school the week we came back from vacay, but she fell right back into her schedule. I have to say she is an easy lil girl when it comes to her sleep. As long as she has crib and blankie, she's good to go.

Our first week of school was fun, interesting, and really eye-opening. I predicted Lila would enjoy herself and behave during circle time because she loves music and books, but what about activity time, craft time, recess, and snack time?

Activity time: B+
I don't think she's ever sat in a chair by herself without a seatbelt attached to her. Granted these are tiny chairs but I didn't think she was capable of plopping her booty on and off the chair. She did it though! I give her a B because she still tries to put stuff in her mouth.

Craft time: D
Lila is one of the youngest in her class. Some of the crafts they do are pretty difficult! Can a two year old really glue circles on a piece of paper and use masking tape to attach a stick to it? I know the parents are supposed to do most of the work, but man...Lila won't have any part of it. I won't fail her on this because she will at least sit down at the table!

(Finished craft by mom)

Recess: A+
How can any kid not love recess? She's amazed not by the playground with the swings and the slides but of the dirty ball in the corner or the woodchips on the ground. That's my girl! She did however set her sights on a cute boy. Oh no! Hope this isn't a precursor to what I'll face when she's older.

Snack time: A
So far so good!

I have to make Valentines to give out next week. Exciting! hehe my Lila stamp needs to be put to use!

Bonjour!

2010-01-19T09:31:00.001-08:00

4 more days till we get to see the Eiffel Tower and the Mona Lisa and eat baguettes and crepes and to scour the shopping area for a bag and find some fun trinkets for Lila!

Our hotel looks clean. whew. Remember I have a thing about weird looking hotel rooms.

If Paris goes well, maybe Korea will be next? Crossing my fingers because I desperately want to go to the motherland soon.

Happy New Year's!

2009-12-31T21:09:00.000-08:00

Vegas was a blast! Lila did wonderful on the car rides and slept like a baby the first night. Second night was a different story! She decided to wake up at 2am and play. We didn't go back to sleep till 4am. I've been catching up on my sleep the past two days cause of that night. The hubs won some money on sports betting but then lost it all on roulette. Typical! Vegas always makes you think you can win it all.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to be bouncing around on the fluffy bed. She learned about jumping on beds from her cousins. Not sure where my other Vegas pics went...can't seem to locate them after I cleaned up my folders. I hope I didn't delete them.

Anyhow, we just celebrated NYE with family five hours before midnight. We toasted with actual champagne after a pizza dinner. So funny how life has changed. Just a few years ago, I was partying it up at one of those LA parties where tickets cost $80. WOW.

::NYE 2006::
My mole days! Btw, that's Daniel Dae Kim from Lost for those of you who don't know! I am such a celebrity freak. I will hunt them down for a pic or an autograph. I have no shame. I once tracked down a D list foreign celebrity at the mall and asked him for an autograph. Oh, the embarrassment!

Happy New Year's everyone! Wishing ya'll a blessed 2010.

La La Las Vegas!

2009-12-25T22:12:00.000-08:00

Countdown begins! We will be taking our first family vacay to Vegas. I'm excited to getaway. Excited to eat good food. Excited to see how Lila will react to being outside of her "cage"! Excited to play Scrabble with the hubs while Lila sleeps PEACEFULLY in the hotel crib. :)

I started making a checklist of what I need to pack, and it's ridiculous. I cannot believe how much stuff I need to bring for a 1 year old. We're only staying for two days, but I swear I feel like I'm bringing a week's worth of stuff. I guess that's how life is now. Long gone are the days of packing my belongings in a duffle bag!

My fam celebrated Christmas yesterday, and we stuffed ourselves with some awesome potluck food. The kids all got a ton of presents, and Lila was more interested in the ribbons and bows than the gifts. I'm sure next year will be a different story. The adults played White Elephant, and I got some lotion/body stuff while the hubs stole a Starbucks gift card.

the youngins minus Caleb and Matthew

fun for me, not so much for her

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

xoxo

Knotts!

2009-12-21T18:20:00.000-08:00

Hubs and I really, really wanted to go to Disneyland with Lila to see the Christmas decorations, but we decided to wait till next year when she's a lil older. Sigh...I was totally looking forward to seeing Dland all done up!

Instead, my sis took me to Knotts. We were able to get in free cause she pulled some strings. :P We had about 2 hours to go wild, and that is what we did! Wild enough for a baby to handle. Knotts was great for us because parking was free for the first 3 hours, and we got to get their famous chicken dinner to go. You can't beat that!

I was nervous about Lila's reaction to the rides, but she was LOVIN it! I have NEVER seen her sooooo giddy when she went inside the Snoopy bouncer. We were so amazed by how much fun she was having. My night camera skills suck big time...she looks like a ghost in these pics.

She did not move once! She bounced up and down and just laughed at all the kids jumping up and down.

Sadly we didn't get to ride the hot air balloon ride because Lila wasn't wearing shoes. (Rule Ride!) I had some in her stroller too, but it wasn't worth lugging my bag, camera, and Lila down a flight of stairs to get her shoes. I mean really..did that rule have to apply to a 1 year old?

Can't wait for my family Christmas party and Viva Las Vegas!!!

A Visit From Santa

2009-12-13T23:10:00.000-08:00

I've been dreading going to the mall BIG TIME! When I heard Santa was coming to my community, I was soooooooo ECSTATIC! Forget the mall or Fashion Island. Actually, I still want to take a trip to Fashion to have pics taken in front of their ginormous Christmas tree. :)

We arrived at the Christmas event like 5 minutes before it started because we wanted to be first in line to take pics with Santa. WRONG! There were already about 8 kids before us. I'm impatient when it comes to waiting! It actually turned out to be a good thing because we had a really great time meeting some new neighbors.

Do you think Lila got scared with Santa? It was inevitable that she would start crying especially with that long beard of his brushing up against her face. It was the most hilarious scene. This Santa did not know what to do!

The neighbors started chanting her name with me and the hubs, and she kind of stopped.

Two more weeks left till Christmas!!!! woohoo!

SHE'S ONE!

2009-12-09T07:50:00.002-08:00

Long time blogging friends! I've been holed up in my office sewing like a madwoman. I knew this was going to happen to me. After the dohl, I knew I wouldn't be able to rest for another three weeks cause of the fair. Although this fair wasn't as good as Renegade, it was a good learning experience. We got some great tips from fellow vendors, and hopefully my sis learned a few things since she'll be doing the next one ALONE! I need a summer break!

I can't believe Lila is ONE! I just saw the ticker on my blog...kinda weird seeing that. I can't believe I didn't update since pre-dohl! I was going to do a birthday picture update, but I'm seriously bday'd out.

She did great at her 1st birthday party! There were about three "almost" meltdowns, but the bubble show, her crackers, and the cupcake saved the day! And of course, the last nap which was a long one helped her from going delirious towards the end of the night. Gosh, now thinking back, she was a trooper as all babies are for their dohls. Meeting and greeting people, changing clothes and wearing a super uncomfortable han-bok, having strangers come up to your face non-stop, schedule getting thrown off...it's an ordeal for them! If only she could remember the day...

I'm sad to say she warmed up to the in-laws only the last few days of their stay here at our house. Wow...tell me about delayed stranger anxiety. I feel so bad for my in-laws. They were giving her soooo much love too. If she only knew! My MIL made her fancy jook which is stored in my freezer. ahhhhh LOVE IT! I don't have to worry about making another batch for awhile! Hopefully Lila will give them a warm hello when we go to Chitown in 6 months. Can't wait!

Seriously in a month, soooo many things have changed! She's drinking cow's milk, which was a big hurdle. It took almost two weeks for her to transition. Ughhh headache. I can already tell, she's not big on change! I'm still nursing once before bedtime, but I'm thinking of dropping it because she doesn't seem like she needs to or wants to. Am I forcing it upon her? haha I don't want to give the last feeding up :( Can't she stay a baby forever?

Lila started taking her first steps a couple weeks ago, but she is now walking from one end of the room to the couch all by herself! I'm sad I missed her doing this the first time. She decided to walk like a big girl just for her daddy while I was at the fair! Her waddle is hilarious! One thing she has mastered is the kimchi squat!!! She's a freakin pro at doing that!

No pics to share except this blurry one I took a few days ago. I don't think I can forget that night because it was the first time I saw her comforting Samantha. She's completely "aware" when someone is feeling sad. Lila kept putting her head on Samantha's head as if she was giving her a kiss. My sis and I couldn't believe it! Where did she learn this? It was amazing to see such sisterly love between them. It worked too! After that, they all had fun jumping and playing together!

One week left....AHHHHHH

2009-11-07T15:04:00.001-08:00

I was feeling overwhelmed with everything last week. I can't believe she's going to have her FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY! This is such a momentous occasion! I'm going to actually be singing Happy Birthday to my child! Crazy...it's still so surreal to me as I experience each milestone.

As it gets closer, I'm actually getting really excited. It was stressful in the beginning, which led to excitement in the end. Funny cause that's the exact way I was feeling for my wedding! I haven't seen so many of my friends all gathered together. I'm hoping I'll have some time to actually chit chat with each one.

The treat bags are finally done! Cupcake toppers are halfway done. My sign in table is finally together. Smash cake has been ordered. Entertainment has been booked...today. Last minute decision. Everything has to be last minute for me. Finally got around to altering Lila's hanbok so it will not be too long for her. Baby hanboks are so freakin adorable! I'm crossing my fingers she'll keep her matching hat on and not tear if off her head like she does with all her other hats and headbands.

Last thing on the list is to buy some Spanx! I was hoping that once the dohl came around I would be at my pre-preg weight, but sadly I didn't accomplish that. Darn the breastfeeding! If you didn't know this about me, I'm so good at crash dieting. I know it's not healthy, but a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do to fit into a dress!

Persimmon picking

2009-11-02T20:38:00.000-08:00

I've been waiting soooooo patiently for my persimmons to ripen. They finally turned orange last month, but they were rock hard. I decided to wait a month before picking at them. The time has come, and I took two off the tree. It's been 3 days, and it's still rock hard. I'll cut into it tomorrow and see if it has that weird taste that makes your tongue feel fuzzy. I'm not a fan of hard persimmon...I only remember the super soft ones my grandma would give me.

Such a curious lil thing.

Peek a boo!
