just babbling

was a bit excited on Sunday afternoon at a sports store at a shopping mall close-by to see one of the "Ten Tere" Kids from the nhk program 天才テレビくん。 They sing and dance and K loves watching them. She imitates them and does the "max" thing. I think she wants to be one when she grows up (just like Wentz Eiji and Ozawa Akane, now劇団一人's wife)

Anyway, I am pretty sure that Kazuma was behind us in line. I was so excited, trying to tell J that he is a kid from TV without making it obvious (you know what men are like!) and K was hanging around him, trying to get his attention too, I think. Too exciting!

Had an incident today that cemented in my head that I should just wait until the last minute to pack the rest of our stuff....couldn't find the pasta, for our lunch. Seems J had packed all the food away in a packing frenzy on the weekend, and SEALED THE BOX!!!! So I was opening boxes labeleed "kitchen" and "food" in a panic at lunch time, wondering if I was going to have to go buy more pasta despite the fact that we have several half used packs here ....which is why I wanted to make pasta in the first place. Anyway, found the pasta spirals and we had that with the last of the meat in the freezer (costco beef mince).

Dinner tonight is another green thai curry, using up all leftover veges, and chicken. I taste-tested it and it was pretty spicy! Hope I can eat it.

still no luck in finding my sunnies, despite lots of helpful suggestions of where to look from friends. *sigh* I think I might have to accept that they are gone....the only other hope now is that they turn up when unpacking, somehow..

R is away at PIL for the week while we get ready to move, but I still took K out for a big walk this morning, we were gone for about an hour. Only went down the road to drop off a goya at a friend's house and then pick up some jelly at the supermarket. I hoped the long walk would wear K out and make it easy to put her down for a nap, but truthfully it didn't seem to make much difference.

Finally got everything sorted, like gas/electricity/internet/water services. It is so much easier when you can do it all on the internet. Except of course for bloody internet providers - how hear do they make it to cancel the services!!! But it is all happening now. We *might* have internet up and running before we head off to Aus, but I am not holding my breath...at least it will be up for when J gets back so we can skype him from my parent's house while we are gone. So we won't forget him, you know ;)
