I eBay-ed! |
I’ve apparently had an eBay account since July of 2004! And here I was thinking that eBay was the last thing on the internet that I didn’t have an account for. So, even though I wanted to wait until we go to Chinatown this weekend, I couldn’t help myself – I bought a bunch of bento stuff from an eBay store. (It wasn’t so bad, because she doesn’t have the 1000% markup that a lot of the bento sellers do, and she combined shipping from Japan, and from what I can tell, she ships very quickly.) So I made my first four eBay purchases today, and I’m very excited! This could be the beginning of a dangerous habit, though…
So I got a two-tiered bento box (no dividers, which I had wanted, but I’ll make due) that comes in a set with a bag, chopsticks, and three little side containers with lids. Also, a set of cute little monkey head sauce holders with little banana spoons (!), animal-head sauce bottles, and three rice molds. (But if you look at today’s lunch, you’ll see that I already figured out how to make onigiri without a special mold by doing it in my silicone muffin pan!)
Today at work we’re having a birthday party for everyone with February and March birthdays (we usually have one party a month for everyone in that month, but there was only one Feb. person, so we held off last month). Also, I have all this rabble scrabble data entry to do. And this afternoon I have a two hour meeting with senior management in our department to talk about how we’re going to use this new software. And it’s probably going to turn into an argument or something. And it’s supposed to go half an hour past the time I usually leave for the day, and I have band practice tonight, so I’ll really have to rush when I get home if I want to catch a nap before band…
I see you’re going to see Spamalot? We saw it last night. I am still laughing. You will love it. We ate at the Double Tree Hotel across the street. They have a nice bistro and easy parking.
Oh awesome! Betsy and her husband saw it in New York last year and she played me the soundtrack on the way to band one night, so I already know the music. And we both love Monty Python, so it should be a good time. Thanks for the tip about dinner, but we’re going on a Tuesday so I think we’ll probably be in a rush just to get to the theater after work.
I should be able to see you sometime next weekend. We have to get our cars inspected in the morning and I have to work at the Center in the evening. But I should see you–unless, of course, they don’t get to our cars til like noon…
Oh and we’re going to see Spamalot in Vegas! =)
We went to the show on a Tuesday night also. I got out of work early and Tara had off already. But the Double Tree is a convenient place to park if you’re driving in and afterwards there is usually a long line of cars exiting the parking lot just enough time for a quick bite and a drink in the Bistro of the hotel.
…and Jules is seeing it in Vegas? Classic Monty Python one-upsmanship!
