After enjoying a snack of crepes wrapped in a cone (mine was Nutella, almonds, and custard - hello, yummy!), we went off to peruse the mall.
Our last stop was Kinokuniya stationary store, which has a respectable assortment of practical and cute things. I am a huge, huge, huge fan of Japanese office supplies. I love my new tape dispenser, cutting blade, Preppy fountain pen, Tri-color roller ball pen (just like the ones from junior high, but 10,000 times better!), and of course my Emoticon notebook. :-> Funny! :-D Smile! ;-] Wink! *<:-) Party!
But the pinnacle of cuteness was reached when we were leaving, and my dad & brother surprised me with a French Bulldog wall calendar for 2008. Oh! Kawaii! Kawaii! Just take a look at this adorable pup, Mr. October, and see if your heart doesn't melt. Now I will have cuteness all year long! :-D
