My favorite things reviewed!

Published on September 30, 2006 By momijiki In Blogging

This was on my list from last year.

*dacshunds running (have you ever seen the wiener dog races???? tooo hilarious. Popular breed here now. So jealous)

*my chair in my study (I have a great little posture chair but I'm always in the slouchy comfy chair with laptop on lap)

*view outside my study (recently there are butterflies living a life and death saga with all the birds)

*hubby (he's just so cute when he's not pissing me off!

)

*my photo

*this chocolate almond croissant i can get near work (I know it will stay on my ass forever but they are sooooo good)

*new black wool skirt that I got from Jess (overpriced but comfy&stylish at the same time! considering rate of wear, maybe it IS a deal)

*a thai gazpacho soup recipe that I got from a yoga magazine (still tasty with out the required deveined lime leaves which I have never seen sold in 3 countries)

*my scanner and printer because it is SAVING me heaps in the photo development dept (I still prefer film to digital, but digital is best for experimenting on the cheap)

Wierdly enough, most of that list still stands.

Ammendments to list.
that almond croissant is OFF the list. They all stayed on my ass. It is time to say goodbye to them.

Additions to list:
my mom and dad because they are always there for me. This is really a given so I didn't write it last time, but it's still true and I'm really feeling it because I was major bummed this week and my mom made me feel better just by talking to me.

My sister and brother. The bad thing about living in Tokyo is that they still live in Calgary. I don't get to spend as much time as I would like to with them.

My Orla Kiely sweater. It has blue spots, navy sports, orange stripes and brown stripes. How can one go wrong? Hmmm. I may have to post a picture of this someday.

That Jess skirt. I STILL love it. It goes with everything! It will be a sad day when I wear it to tatters.

My velvet long coat. I feel like a princess and it makes the cold weather worthwhile.

The people I have met in photography. They have been really inspiring and a great bunch of people to learn with. I'm going to ask one of the members if I can link to her myspace site. It is very cool.

My writing friends Syndee, Mary Alice and Laura who went to RWA in Atlanta with me. They showed me the ropes and are smart, intelligent women who write great stuff. Awesome to talk to re: writer's block and work through nasty plot details that prefer to be Gordian rather than fluid.

My writing group Femailers who started up with the RT convention in St. Louis last year. A great bunch of women, smart, talented... I could go on.

Papaya. I used to detest it now I love it. Especially with a squeeze of lime. Not the green kind though.

Catching up with my friends, Beth and Jody, from the Niigata City days because I hadn't seen them for about 10 years and it seemed like we'd seen each other last week.

Contacting my friend Sheri last year. Also from the Niigata days but living not too far from Tokyo now. She still talks to me even though I'm forgetful about contacting people. And also for always being like I saw her last week. Eeep! Which reminds me. I need to send her an email! brb

Okay. That's done. And now I can't think of what else to add so I'll stop here.

I love the updated list! Hooray for getting rid of the croissant! We'll both miss it but it had to go!LOL!

That's lovely that you're able to keep up with your girlfriends. Mine are all in other states so I know how you feel. And my siblings as well. We keep in touch by phones, IMs emails, thank heavens for technology!

Oh definately post pics of the sweater and that coat too. Oh yea, and the skirt. It's nice to have a favorite list.

Thanks for the mention-I feel the same way, too-no matter how much time has passed, nothing much has changed!
There's lots on the list that I would agree with, too. Being away from family helps you appreciate them more, I think!
