FREE-NESS
NOTES
-Megan has been here since Sunday and it's been great chatting away and laughing with her. I get too tired and irritated to spend much time out and wandering around shopping/sightseeing, but she's been good about doing that one her own =) We did have one long day out in Harajuku shopping and having lunch that was nice. I got 4 babydoll/empire waist simple/summery dresses to wear, and some cute flat sandles. I'm happy to have clothes to wear that fit, AND that will fit even after Ponyo is born. It's been really great to see her though and she's still here until Monday!
-The wedding pictures are in FACEBOOK for those waiting. For family I will be sending you a DVD of all 400 cuts next month so please wait!
FREE-NESS
So...I've been thinking about things lately. I've been really tuning in to "The Secret" mindset and have been doing fantabulous.
I've decided to "be lucky" as a career. I mean I'm a really lucky person, but I know my mindset causes the good luck to come to me.
So after re-realizing this, I've made it a hobby to apply for free things, free samples, and enter contests and sweepstakes online. I found websites that just list endless ones and I have been keeping busy by doing those. (ppl in Japan who are equally bored/interested ask for links!)
So far have got a million mini samples of lotions, stretchmark creams, soaps, etc. I got a pair of maternity underwear (with a catelogue), a diaper changing mat, and 2 baby bibs. There's more in the mail. This morning I got a phonecall to say I won 2 tickets to see MiChi (that "half" singer that recently debuted here, that I -LOVE-) at her special 200 person invite only live show on the 26th! YAY! Next I'm really hoping to win Hiko a laptop (I've entered a few things with that as a prize) since his is like waaay slow and old and about to die.
I've also been keeping my eyes on the classifides and have so far got about 20-30 baby outfits, a sling, and a bouncer/baby bed for FREE! (Despite having to travel almost an hour each way to pick up the latter two. Oh well!)
Bouncer that rocks, stays still, can be laid flat or sat up. It's so cute!! Since we don't have room for a crib, I think we'll just use this as a bed for the first couple months. After that we're hoping to be moved into a bigger place that Ponyo can have her own room in, with a real bed lol
3 way sling: lying down newborn (pic), sitting up on chest in front, sitting up in backpack.
Lol I always focus so hard on getting the picture straight and unblurry that my face looks retarded in these self-taken pics...
I caved and bought a good pair of maternity capri jeans so I can wear something other than dresses and leggings this summer. Not bad, only 30$ from an online catelogue! The stomach is stretchy fabric to fit to your growing bump, but with a shirt over it they look 100% normal from the outside.
At another BBQ. Hiko's gonna be such a great dad, he's like both me and my dad in the sense that at any big gathering he's the one running away to play and entertain the kids all the time. He spent a good couple hours wrestling and playing on that matt with this cute little 3 year old boy and his sister. He's such a cutie.
What else do I have to say?
