Fuwa Fuwa (Fluffy)
Ahhhh ... today was a much better day than yesterday~! Today, I got my butt out of bed so I could cook lunch for everyone. <3 I had done a lot of prep last night by getting chicken and beef marinating and making dashi stock and rice ahead of time. I made sesame beef and balsamic sesame chicken and tamagoyaki (sweet omelet) and shiozake (salted salmon) and edamame and we stopped at H Mart to get tea. Then, we headed down to the University of Washington for picnic under the sakura! <3<3<3
That's right, I got to do hanami~ We were originally going to go on Sunday, but the weather was being weird, so we decided to risk it and wait to go today. And let me tell you, I am SO glad we did. The weather was absolutely angelic. The sun was warm, the clouds were fluffy, the blossoms were still there and still white and cute. And the food was delicious (not to brag or anything but yuuuuuum)! We wandered around to look at all the different trees, watched kids play, watched a tiny dog attack a ball that was bigger than it was and just in general really enjoyed being outdoors.
Once we'd devoured everything, we headed out and stopped to get bubble tea on the way home. We went to a place I've been wanting to try for a while and oh my god they were SO. GOOD. I'm so glad we finally stopped there. XD And then we went to the post office to pick up chiba_yuriko's wig, dropped off our video rental and headed home in time for anime night. Started a new series during that ---> Seirei no Moribito! I've been wanting to see it for quite some time so it's awesome that I'm getting to experience it for the first time with everyone else. Oh, and we finished Kobato tonight, but I think I'll write raves/rants about both of those later, because my brain is actually kind of shot.
It was a really productive day. <3
Too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow.
*sigh*
