Tomorrow’s Friday! (21) 
It’s true. And after that it’s FREAKIN’ SATURDAY! Thank gooooooodness. Long, long week at work. Ready to chill & catch some sun :spiritsup:! I had stuff to talk about but it’s so late I’ve forgotten. Not to say things are boring, but the non-boring stuff I don’t ever feel like thinking about when “away from it.” *cough* work *cough*
I felt like taking random photos today. Top left: Typical Japanese summer fizzing candy 
; next blotting sheets; bottom left is the Pinky calendar (Summer months are scandalous, no?!); Finally my new bedspread and Blackie (a cat pillow I’ve had since I was 14!! He’s my true love… mike gets very jealous)
It’s from UO
. Got it on sale 2 weeks ago 
Scanned in Ageha earlier today. GOD IT’S SO AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC. 
アハハ八八ノヽノヽノ ＼ / ＼笑 the final scans are my favorite. I 
this magazine because it picks apart every aspect of the models’ lives! Even showing receipts of purchases and bath-time rituals of each girl!? LOVERRRLY 
Anyway, I guess I’m off to bed… the sooner tomorrow begins the sooner I’ll be on my train home 
Till then enjoy this gif I made of my windbell :<3:

Food Traditions (21)
Working at home today 
Though I still have a lot to do, I can at least do it in my pajamas. I like when I can work from home, besides the obvious reasons, I enjoy my little traditions. For over a year now my biggest habit is what I make for lunch! Simple pastas using prepackaged sauce mixes! My favorites have always been from the brand S&B. I have tried a few American versions, but they are harder to make (you actually have to cook the sauce mix) and have never tasted very good. Though I did see new liquid pouches come out this summer. Though I like the dried with light tomato paste ones. I’ve had the liquid pouches of Japanese brands & they weren’t really spectacular. 
So, today I have ペペロンチーノ [pepperchino
, my favorite!] バジル [basil] is also very tasty.

Soups, bags, alcohol, and steaks (27)
I made cabbage soup today for lunch 
. I was working @ home today :driftingoff: It’s that recipe from the cabbage soup diet, but rest assured I’m not doing the diet. i just love cabbage but don’t get to eat it that often. This soup is really, really easy to make and easy to adjust to your liking 
CABBAGE SOUP
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 head of cabbage
- 3 plus large green onions
- 1 large can of beef broth (no fat)
- 1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (onion)
- 1 bunch of celery
- 2 lbs. Carrots
- 1 Green Peppers
- 1/2 sliced white onion
Cut veggies in small to medium pieces.
Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and
continue to cook until veggies are tender.Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce.
I actually cut the ingredients by 1/2 to make a smaller pot.
In spending my money news, Karme & I have purchased Cher eco-bags 
bwahahahaha bag twins, HERRO! Temptation be damned! I spent more than my normal frugal self and I have NO regrets. Despite what Karme says!! hahahaはははははは I’ve only talked about the cher eco-bag over & over & over again. It’ll be a few weeks of waiting now (darn Japanese auctions~ hahah)
WHOOT!
Then tonight mike & I had a date~ Very nice steak house. It was so delicious. And then we hit up a liquor store to stock up for July 4th. I have a friend visiting and so it’ll be nice to have some drinks. We tossed everything we had before when we moved because they were nearly gone anyway.
