We Spent Time Together


For many days, I never hanging out with my daughter Ara, never walking around Court Street and doing sight seen. Winter season was very cold. I couldn't stand outside without wearing winter coat and feeling frozen. It was also hard for Ara to go outside when she felt uncomfortable with her big winter coat. That’s why I stayed at home and played with her in my comfy apartment to watch snowflake fallen from the sky. We felt warm.

Flour power cupcakes
Yesterday was a breezy sunny day. The wind was cold, but the sunlight kept me feel warm. I went to OU-mini farmer's market in OU Howard Park, near the green statue. There were a lot of local vendors. They sold many things such as bakery, cake, pretzel, jellies, and many more. At the first time I just planned to sight seen, until I met the lady who sold flour power cupcakes.  I bought her brownies. When I saw cupcake, I suddenly remembered that I ever read information about these cupcakes in B Magazine. It was made me curious to know how delicious these cupcakes. Because of that, I bought one beautiful cupcake.

The sun was bright. I felt warm enough to sight seen on Court Street. Since several days ago, I wanted to go to Family Dollar, one of department stores in Athens. Then I walked to Family Dollar through Court Street, my favorite spot in Athens. I looked around. There were food trucks that sold many delicious foods including Buritto, Ali Baba, and the new one, that I forget its name. Court Street was very crowd. In the afternoon, restaurants and food cafes were full of people. I tried to recognize some restaurants that I ever read in Athens News. I felt very happy when I remember those restaurants.

Family Dollar is located in E Carpenter Street. It's quit far from Court Street. I was looking for puzzles and some stuff. At that place, I got a nice headband while Ara yelled out loud. She refused to sit on her stroller, then I tried to play with her and to put the headband on her head, but she always threw it away. Furthermore, I grabbed a flip phone toy. It was works. She sat and played with the toy.

I had a chance to choose puzzles, armband, and some stuff when she bored and started to stand on her stroller. I untied her. She laughed very happy and walked around near by my side. I thought she wanted to stand near my position. She forgot her flip phone toy when she saw a bunching ball. She cried aloud as a sign that she wanted to touch the ball. I was so happy when I gave it to her. You know why? That’s because the ball is cheaper than the flip phone.

I succeed to put the headband on her head while she was playing a bunching ball. She brought the ball and went to cashier. I was so happy when I got all stuffs that i need. I thought I didn't have to buy a flip phone. Hehehe.. (*)

Solo dan Cerita Tentangnya

               Saya membayangkan Solo sebagai kota kabupaten yang sederhana. Kental unsur Jawa dan batik menjadi sumber penghidupan bagi para warganya. Ketika berkunjung ke kota ini pekan lalu saya menemukan cerita yang lain.  Solo menjadi kota yang sangat ingin saya kunjungi setelah beberapa tahun lalu mengunjungi Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta yang sangat Jawa, warung di sepanjang jalan, padat, dan penuh bule. Saya membayangkan Solo adalah kebalikan dari segala hingar bingar Yogyakarta.  Saya, suami, dan anak merencanakan berangkat hari jumat sore.  Sayangnya, kami kehabisan tiket kereta di stasuin gambir. Catatan penting, jangan merencanakan melakukan perjalanan dengan membeli tiket kereta perjalanan jauh di stasiun di menit terakhir akan berangkat. Tiket habis. Bahkan untuk tiket kereta eksekutif yang harga sekitar 450ribu perorang. Kami lantas memilih untuk menggunakan moda transportasi pesawat terbang yang harganya relatif sama dengan...

Ara Belajar Ngomong

Serius Nulis Ara mulai suka ngoceh. Ada saja suara keluar dari mulutnya. Kadang jelas kadang juga tidak. Beberapa berhasil saya terjemahkan maksudnya. Beberapa mengalami missunderstand berujung pada rengekan atau aksi menarik tangan. Selain nonton lagu anak-anak, beberapa film anak-anak yang menurut saya cukup edukatif menjadi pilihan tontonannya. Saya memutarkan film Blue's Clues, Super Why, hingga Pocoyo. Serial Blue's Clues sudah kami tonton semua. Mulai dari sang pemilik Blue bernama Steve hingga beralih ke Joe adiknya di serial itu. Yang paling nyantol di kepalanya Ara adalah kata "think" sambil telunjuk memegang dahi. Itulah kata pertama yang ia ucapkan secara jelas setelah kata Mama dan Ayah. Entah kenapa kata ini yang melekat di kepalanya. Mungkin karena si Steve sangat aktraktif menyanyikan lagu jingle Blue's Clues terlebih dibagian "Sit down in thinking chair. Think, think, think". Ara juga suka bagian ketika surat datang. Dia akan i...
