I told a vegan friend at the gym, “Happy Tofurky Day,” but she didn’t catch it. My sister got a complete dinner from New Seasons (which, I understand, is a local grocery chain) and it was great! Since my mom came back from Japan today, it was me, ma, pa, Mariko, and her husband Peter.
You’ll notice that there are some gifts my mom brought back from Japan. You may notice the shochu and the sweets on the table. She also brought me a new camera! I think they’re cheaper here but she got a color that isn’t available in the US, and the instructions and the menus are all in Japanese.
You can also see the toys my pa got:
and his “Drip On” instant coffee, displayed by my sister.
I figure while we’re at it, here’s a picture of my sister and her husband, and one of their dog Dede.
No pictures of me, my dad (who was being cranky when I tried to take his picture) or my mom (whose picture I forgot to take!)
Well, that’s about enough for now. Since I didn’t go to the gym last night, I went this morning. Not only that, but I’m sore from standing on a wobbly board and having Dave the Trainer throw a medicine ball at me.
Hey there, your links for the larger photos don’t work. the url is like http://www.i8u.orgblog
none of your picture links are working for me and it’s KILLING me. i NEED to see them BIGGER. tell mariko i wore the apron she made me all yesterday. i’ve never felt so stylin’. seriously. it looked so good w/ my jeans, i thought about wearing it to work today. it’s not like there’s anyone else here to see me in it. what is deeds doing in that photo? she’s like a Marine dog she’s got such great posture. did you guys decide not to cook since i couldn’t come? that was it right? no? 🙂 miss you! bye!
isn’t mariko just the quintessential japanese babe? i would like to have some coffee dripped on me. i would also like to see pictures of: nobuko, george, and your sparkling new camera, japanese menus included.
watch out for that dave. the frequency of your being trained is disconcerting.
