In which that’s Valentine’s Day, not ‘venereal disease.’ Sheesh! Friday night, Teh BF and I went out for Mexican food and Becca dropped by and ate with us. Then we went to our separate homes to sleep; me because I had chores to do the next day, and him because he works on Saturdays. Saturday, […]
In which I am in total heaven because today I received THE BENTO BOMB! This is what happened to me today (in pictures!): I got a big giant huge massive collection of bento-junk goodness in the mail today! Food! Bento accessories! And two new boxes!: Now. How did this awesome explosion of straight-from-Japan bento lurve […]
In which the notebook is here! The notebook is here!! OMFG the notebook is here!!! UPS’s site said my Eee PC wouldn’t get here until Wednesday, but it was sitting on my desk when I got to work yesterday morning. Squee! It’s tiny. It’s über-cute. It’s portable. It has killer battery life. It came with […]
In which I publicly admit to stealing resources* from my employer. I’ve been running a little eBay side business from my desk this week.

In which I’m fat, obsessed with bento, and refusing to see any possible correlation between the two. Misc Teh BF’s bento box arrived so I packed a lunch in it and gave it to him today. He seems pleased. My mom has emailed that she needs sci-fi, so I’ll be lugging a pile of books […]
In which we were out of town for 26 hours and it was HELLA FUN! Teh BF asked our employer if we could leave at six o’clock on New Year’s Eve. Our employer agreed! So we checked the weather, talked it over, and then gleefully took mmmFiber up on her offer to overnight at her […]
In which I tell you what I got for Xmas! Christmas day was fun. I slept in, which is always awesome. Then I vacuumed the living room, helped G’ma with food preparation, set up the card table and found chairs. Around 1:30 the family showed up. We ate, opened gifts, and then had dessert. It […]
In which I post again about bentÅ-making, because it’s all I think about lately. I woke up at four this morning and immediately started thinking about what I’d make for today’s bentÅs. Literally!
