rkoldSo.....
For those curious, I survived the baby shower thanks to the magic of mimosas! In some respects the shower was even worse than I expected. The couple is Italian, so I had naturally assumed the shower would be held in an Italian Restaurant, but nooooooo it was Irish. Now, I have nothing against Irish food, except it's not known for it's vegetarian options and I am a vegetarian. We're at the shower, nothing on the menu is vegetarian, we come 30 minutes late and the mother-to-be isn't there yet. No one talks to us and they move as far away from us as possible and the only thing that made it tolerable were the mimosas. *sighs* At least it is over...
In other news...
My darling husband has put his foot down. I was mentioning to him that several people requested I look for things in Japan and after the mishap from the last time, he has declared this unacceptable. As he so rightly pointed out, I am paying for my airfare, food, transportation etc. so....
*ANYONE* who wants me to buy them something in Japan, and this includes all anime and all doll people, I'm going to have to charge a commission to buy things. If you're still interested in me buying you something after learning this, please drop me an email (peach-fanta(at)penal-tea.net) or respond to this LJ post. He set the rates at $2 per item or 20% whichever is greater. (Many things, i.e. doujinshi, are MUCH cheaper in Japan.) I would carry all the items home from Japan and then mail them to you. (Unless you want really bulky things, i.e. dolls) I am going to Doll Show 12. I'm happy to look for things specifically for other people. I will *NOT* buy certain things that go against my sense of morals and anyone reading this LJ should know what those things are by now... If you have bought things from me before, I will not need deposit. If you have not... we can work out how a deposit will work. I'm sorry about doing this, but well, it does get expensive going to Japan...

Did I tell you that I have a sticker of chibi-Yuta in his pajamas? He is so. ADORABLE. ^____^
