My father-in-law, mother-in-law and I were in Japan on business several years ago. Apparently, one of the more popular food places in Japan is Mister Donut. We were working in Iwakuni and decided to visit Hiroshima for the day, stopping at Mister Donut for breakfast.
The donuts looked great, but some were a little weird (a hot dog donut??? Really???).
I was looking for some sort of cream filled donut, as was my MIL. She decided on one that looked like it had milk chocolate cream and cinnamon sugar on top. I had thought about it, but decided it just didn't look enough like milk chocolate.
When she took her first bite, she immediately ran to the bathroom to get rid of it.
That's right. She had purchased a curry gravy donut.
So Kathryn, have fun with your curry.
Happened to me in Tokyo at Au Bon Pan.Seafood when expecting something sweet.

I have pretty bad insomnia. A few nights ago, we had dinner and saw a movie with friends. It was downtown, about 25 minutes away from our house. When I turned in for the night, I remember thinking, "Man, I hope I don't end up laying awake half the night."
Then, as I snuggled under my blankets, I suddenly remembered that on the way home, we'd driven through a couple of blocks where the city's homeless population generally congregates. There was a light rain, and people were huddled together on pieces of cardboard on the sidewalk. They were probably also thinking, "Man, I hope I don't end up laying awake half the night." And this wasn't even in a third world country. I told myself that even if I ended up laying awake half the night, at least I'd be warm and dry.

Amen! I have learned that what actually happens, is the seller prints the shipping label. This gives the prompt that it has been shipped. But, they may not actually put the item in the mail until who knows when.
This is the trick for ebay and Amazon sellers to keep in good standing with ebay and Amazon, for instance. They keep their good rating for fast shipping, when all they really did was print the label immediately. Frustrating.
There was a bake sale for a teen Christian association today outside the Safeway in town, and the sun had actually come out and it was a lovely afternoon. They had chocolate brownie trays that looked so good, and i thought they'd be perfect to take to a Thanksgiving dinner I've been invited to.....but I realized my freezer was too full to fit it in. So, I just bought an individual chocolate cupcake to eat right then and there instead.
But, I really wanted that brownie tray. Life is so hard when your freezer is too full of food to buy more food.
My cat likes to sleep on my lap for long periods of time and I can't move for the duration of her nap. Currently I would like to get up, but I can't disturb her.

Yes, it was ebay! I hadn't shopped there in so long that I'd forgotten about that trick. It was actually shipped Saturday from FL and delivered today, in CA.
Today my 1st world problem is:
Why is it that anyone who practices yoga has to talk so much about it? Shut the heck up.
I like the "idea" of yoga, but to me, it seems like bragging about doing it, and talking people's ears off about it kind of goes against the whole "thing." Can't you just do it, and love it, and not have to tell everyone about it?
At least if I just drink, I don't go yammering on and on to people about drinking.
Which is why drinking is superior to yoga. It doesn't involve the imperative to draft others. It's like the Jehovah's Witness of exercise.
