Our boring addiction: the local home center

[dagbrown]

A few months ago, a Shimachu home center opened up quite close to us. Chie didn’t notice it, but I did, and I told her about it and she said, “Let’s pay it a visit!”

And then we spent ¥20,000 on cool stuff there.

We’ve been resisting the temptation, but we keep going back there. Getting home with our new stuff always makes the place feel like

Congratulations!

Is there a specific formula you are supposed to use? Some test to overcome?

Well, one of the things that I'm not particularly looking forward to is the waniresu ceremony. Otherwise it's all pretty straightforward.

"So, prospective son-in-law, where did you do your degree? Todai or Tokyo?"

"School of Hard Knocks, Oto-san."

Could be worse, could have been a full-bore omiai... Ganbatte!

You just tossed that in there right at the end. If I was bored I would have passed on to someone's post and not known that you are contemplating matrimony.

Congrats and good luck with the FIL.

Hey, when you haven't put your personal touch into your living space/office space, it won't feel like home at all. So I understand where she's coming from. Hehe. A little decoration here and there does help personalize things ;)

Am glad she's happier :)

And I do hope everything goes well with your visit to her family :) Ganbatte ne!
