Sit. Stay. Good girl!

The past couple of weekends have had me trekking up to Ninohe for various adventures, but this weekend, I stayed put. With summer vacation fast approaching, it's good to stay local and save a little coin every once in a while, but this weekend has also been good for my mental well-being. 

Yesterday, I took advantage of F.K's advice and studied my ass off. I officially have mastered...sort of..."kara" (because), "ga hoshii" (I want....[object]), "tai" (I want to...), survival Japanese for restaurants and a few choice swear words. Hey, I gotta keep it real. 

So today is for me. And now, a step by step for an enjoyable evening in. 

Step 1. Acquire microwavable noms. Remember...

 Two is better than one.

Step 2. Snuggle buddy.

Step 3. Entertainment. 

...and then some...

...oh, why not?

Step 4: Afters. Just add milk! 

I have a zombie-apocalypse-worthy stockpile of milk from school lunches. I can't drink this stuff. I can't! It's so thick and rich, it's like drinking butter! I made the switch to soy right after college graduation, and I've never been a whole milk girl, so this stuff is a shock to my system. But rather than leave it at the school, I sheepishly slip it in my bag, take it home and add it to the collection. I have yet to see this stuff go bad. But to keep my supplies under control, there's always instant custard. For pretty cheap, you just pour this jelly into a bowl, add a carton of milk, let it sit in the fridge and voila! 

Commence evening in :)
