I am really hoping this is the last Thursday I will be writing this without Goma-chan in the outside world- fingers crossed!!!
- Cheese bread- I made it in our bread maker overnight. I have never tried to make any other kind of bread except my normal bread for breakfast which I usually put black seasame seeds in. I ate some this morning and it was great- could use some more cheese but the compartment to put the cheese in was stocked full already.
- Christmas bonus- Shun gets two bonus`s a year and it came in last week. We could finally replenish our savings a little and Shun could finally buy the parts he needed to finish making his computer so he has been spending time on that the last couple of days.
- Izakaya food- Nothing better than eating gyoza, nabe and kani cream croquets with good friends.
- Nights out with friends- I am so glad that I went out on Saturday night to see Ryomei and other friends. Last time pre-baby.
- Visits from Sarah & Sakura- so happy I could see Sakura growing up even though I don`t get to see her so often. I am very excited that Sarah and her family might be moving to Tokyo next year if Ryohei gets transferred here. Would be so nice to have them closer by so that Goma-chan and Sakura could become close friends!!!
- News that Goma-chan had moved down a little bit- keep moving down bub!
- News from my friend Eva (due date 2 weeks after Goma-chan) that her bub has started growing again meaning she will not need to be induced early. I hope her bub keeps growing a lot each week. I know it was a huge relief for her and her husband.
- Christmas lights
- Christmas cards- I finally wrote our christmas cards and attached to them all the presents under our mini tree.
- Region free dvd player as a gift from my brother and his gf for Christmas- I told him we needed one and he let me buy it through FBC for our Christmas present. Thanks Paulie! It only arrived today so I will have to get Shun to set it up tonight.
What are you loving this Thursday?

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
I hope this is your last Things I love Thursday before Goma-chan too! Can’t wait to see him myself as I’m a sucker for a cute baby!
Izakaya food – I concur.
The bread sounds awesome too~!
Region free DVD player?!?! What? I didn’t even know they existed! So you can play any DVD on them? I need to get one of those…!
Yay, Thursday!
Region free DVD players are great. Jay’s parents have once, it means we can watch my Australian DVDs on a decent screen, rather than my laptop. Hooray!
I hope Goma-chan makes an appearance soon! Goma-chan! Come out! Your Mama wants to meet you!
Hooray for Christmas boonus, too- that’s fun
Had a blast with you guys!!! Hope Goma-chan doesn’t keep you waiting too much longer, maybe he’ll be a due date baby?
Enjoy the dvd player that sounds awesome! And heres to many many more visits in 2010… esp if we are in the same city/area!
The dvd player sounds awesome! If you ever want anything from here in the US let me know! Here is hoping goma-chan is on his way very soon!
Spicy buffalo chicken wings, Dunkin’ Donuts, and sledding in the snow!
