another productive day at the office
yesterday kendall was missing so we decided to go downtown to play again. i spent 2 hours in the 100 yen store and thoroughly enjoyed myself. i think that there should be a show on TLC that has you redecorate rooms only using what you can find at the 100 Yen shop. i especially got a kick out of the hello kitty gift bags that have designer like looks to them.
