1. i drank out of the milk carton. twice this week. it's part of the weaning process. a couple of months ago i started having little cups of it. dang it. now i am down to a few swigs a week.
2. i found some pudding jars. milk pudding jars. i think that is what it is called. the bird one is my favorite. but the pudding was a little too rich for me. oh, what i do for things i love. h-kun helped with the eating the rest of the pudding.
3. i finally stopped by a local shrine. one that i drive by at least a couple of times a week. but have just never stopped at. well, moving to another country. will make you stop and do things. that you have been putting off. and i am happy about that.
4. i spent all day yesterday. in kyoto. with a good friend. it was a perfect day. there is so much to love about that city.
5. i wish there were more days in april. like at least 10 more. time is moving a bit too quickly for me.
6. i downloaded tetris on my iphone. when we were waiting forever at h-kun's doctor thing. and now i am addicted to it. and feeling very old school.
Those pudding jars are too cute. Next time I'm in Japan I'm totally going to peruse the dairy section at the market. ;)

Love those pudding jars! Tetris is totally addictive - I once played it on a drive home that took an hour an a half, I looked up as we rolled into Seattle and said to Royal "are we home already?" Time just disappears with that game.

You find interesting jars! Are you bringing all your jars when moving back? I bet it will a little heavy but worth it!
I love Kyoto. Kiyomizu temple is my favorite.
Reading your post made me feel like going to a different country!

If I were you, all I would do is eat pudding to get those jars. Seriously! Hope you don't mind if I post them to my blog and link to you.
Great finds always!

Tetris is absolutely the best phone game. It is the only one I've bought for every cell phone I've ever owned. Good choice.

I collect those pudding jars here in Australia! They have them with milk custard inside at the 'bread top' Japanese bakery chain. The jars don't have any printing on them at all and come with little plastic lids - they remind me of squat versions of the old fashioned milk bottles...http://www.flickr.com/photos/soozs/294050664/in/set-72057594068348140/
