Tokyo One is now my favorite Japanese restaurant. I was not expecting a sushi buffet, with good quality sushi no less! Its not the best sushi I’ve ever had, but when you get to try 10 different kinds, and get to eat hot foods as well, there is no comparison. Its definitely worth the price, though I might try it at lunch sometime, just to see if the food selection is comparable.

Unfortunately, I was so enthralled with the food selection I forgot to take any pictures. John and I wondered how they could even keep this place open, with all you can eat snow crab legs, clams and oysters. This will most likely not be out last time going, though only occasionally, due to the price.

I always forget how tiring moving is. We had 5 guys there on Saturday, and everyone was completed worn out by the time we were half way done. I swear my couch was the hardest thing. John even had part of it fall on him, hurting his back pretty bad.

The new place looks great, considering that there is unpacked boxes and stuff everywhere. Gotta get that cleaned by Saturday for John and Allan’s birthday party. The old place is a mess too. I plan on at least vacuuming it tonight. My calves are so sore I didn’t even have the energy to go to the old place yesterday to do anything. Instead I did laundry and put things away. I tried to do the dishes and found out our dishwasher doesn’t work . Hopefully they’ll have that fixed soon.

As soon as things are cleaned up around the house I’ll post pictures of the rooms and decorations.

I had a pretty good memorial day weekend, after I got to feeling better. On Sunday, my mom, me, my husband and my brother went out to Saltgrass Steakhouse for my brother’s birthday. He is quite the steak eater. Monday my husband and I went to my parent’s house for my brother’s birthday party. He had a bunch of friends over to swim and have fun. One of the kids brought him a present that was the highlight of the afternoon, for me. The kid bought him a barbie doll, a princess one at that. It was so much fun watching his face turn red when he opened it. All things considered, he handled it well. They all laughed about it, but I made sure to get a picture of him, which I immediately posted on facebook.

One last thing, a friend of mine sent me this link, so adorable.

Ok, so now that finals are over, and all I have to do is work and some packing, its been alot less stressful for me. I have been spending almost every chance I get playing WoW though, I’m sure that can’t be healthy.

Work is going well, I have 2 weeks to finish up my UI change, should be plenty of time.

I’m making a resolution to clean the house this weekend, or at least part of it. Cross my fingers I can make myself do it. I’m not good at that.

Things are so busy right now at work and at school. My finals are next week, and then I’m done with school until FALL! Work is pushing to get my app done as soon as possible, so I’m pushing to get as much done as possible. With my old company not doing so hot, I’ve had to pitch in and help them get things closed down.

Its a little lonely at work today, they laid off all but 2 people at Cook. Luckily I got switched over to ePlanit before it all happened, so for now, I’m safe.

Its just sad to come in this morning and everything be changed over night.

The kittens were finally born this weekend. Two of the three mother cats gave birth. So now my mom has 6 baby kitties in the house. I’m going over there this week to take pictures, which I will post. I’m sure they are adorable.

So last night I stayed at my parent’s while they were out of town. My mom has some very pregnant cats and she was worried they might give birth while she was gone. My husband and I bought some chinese food and settled in for the night, keeping an eye on the cats and watching some TV.

One of the not pregnant cats decided she didn’t want us there and meowed for nearly the entire night. She must have really missed my mom. I tried to pet her and give her attention, but she would have none of that. She wanted my mom and no one else and she was not going to let us forget that.

So my husband and I spent the entire night trying to sleep despite the little loney kitty downstairs who just couldn’t be helped. So when I had left the house this morning, still no new kitties. At least I got to sleep in my parent’s king size, ultra comfy bed and watch tv on the big screen, so maybe not all was lost.

By the way, if you didn’t catch this from the story, I AM SOOOOOOOO TIRED!

I’m just too tired to do a real post today. Too much WoW, too much homework, not enough sleeping. I wish I could take naps at work.
