Quick Update

April 17, 2008

I just wanted to let you guys know that I imported all of my old blog posts.  I mean we’re talking like back to 2002.  So If you wanna read about my crazy college life, check back to those.  It’s amazing how much I’ve changed.  I didn’t realize it until I went back and read everything.  It’s interesting, you’d be suprised.  So go.  Read it.  Now.

I haven’t imported some stuff from other blogs, because I’m not sure who is stalking me, and I may say some bad stuff about them on those.  I may say, “eh, fuck it” later, but for now, I’m in a nice mood.

Also, I don’t care where you’re from, ranch makes everything better.

Also x 2, my new Bento box came in the mail today. So. Ex. Cited.  Picture is up on Flickr.  All the way from Japan baby!

Excited about Bento

March 28, 2008

I was playing around on the internet and visited a site I had written off a while back (because so much WANT so little NEED - you know how that goes).  Anywho, www.jlist.com has all things Japanese you could possibly want.  They have these cute little lunch boxes called Bento boxes.  Bento or Obento is a small packed lunch.  Anyway, I started researching just what went into Bento boxes and what they were all about.  I found this American girl’s blog about how she has been using Bento lunches to help her lose weight.  Lose weight?  Hey that’s me!  So I dug further and found this blog, JustBento.com which has a lot of verbiage and lots of information about Bento lunches and how to properly add them to your daily routine, from square one.  Amazing.   EDIT:  I almost forgot to mention a blogsite with jazillions of recipes and ideas for Bentos:  Cooking Cute!

My friend Taryn gave me a Hello Kitty mini Bento box for Christmas.  Except…. it’s so super tiny, I can barely fit a sandwich inside.  So today, I bought my first semi-traditional Bento box.  Beautiful.  I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to start this diet.  I’ll keep you updated on how it goes.

My new Bento!
