So today I will be talking about Happy Bags! (Disclaimer for my male cohorts: Im not talking about what you think I am, feel free to guiltlessly move on if you get bored)
Anyways, apparently here in japan, at the start of the new year, malls and shopping centers everywhere have this awesome sale where not only do they have lots of stuff at reduced prices, but they also sell Happy Bags! These are pretty much grab bags with random(but evenly distributed) goods in them and generally youll pay like half of what it would normally cost to buy all of the stuff in the bags.
So today while we were out we bought like $200 worth of stuff in bags, and didnt even know what was in the bags. I tell ya, it was FUN. We did get a few things that were so so, but we also got some awesome stuff too. One bag had several types of dishes/cookware, another had some clothes, and of course, we got an awesome Hello Kitty handbag that had a bunch of cool kids Hello Kitty stuff in it(Toothbrushes anyone?)
On to other things, we still dont have our house yet and we're staying at the Navy Lodge at the moment. However, the housing people have been on vacation since before xmas, and we have a lead on an empty house, so first thing monday, we may have a house(or at least a timeframe on when we can actually move in).
And then, when we get the house, im going down to the 100 yen store($1 store but way more awesome then the stores back home, you can actually buy stuff that is worth more then $1) and im making off with like 5 dump trucks worth of household goods to decorate our new home!
Im so excited!!!
anyway, till next time
Sayonara!

by the way, I love how I have to type in a silly word in order to post. you know those pictures that are words that they use to filter spam? yeah, they're awesome...
this one is : inkshang
sounds like some sort of exclamation after spilling ink on a shag carpet.
"Oh Inkshang! I better call the cleaners!"
hehe, ya those are fun. They are actually called CAPTCHA. You can remember it by saying: "Capt. Cha sails his boat, the S.S. Silly Words through a mangled sea of dictionaries"
Ok, maybe that's a bit too long, but it's still fun :-P
