Condolences
Well, yesterday turned out to be a very sad day...We found out that Maki's Grandma in Japan died yesterday afternoon. Pooor Maki, she is so sad. Seymen and I decided to forgo the festivities so that we could be with her, help her pack, spend time with her so she wasn't alone. This morning at 5:30 we took her to the airport so she can go home to Japan for a week or so. The good news is, her family has decided to wait on the services so that she can participate first thing Saturday morning. She should arrive in Fukiyoko (spell?) on Friday night. (That's crazy right, since she's leaving on Thursday!) Anyway, all I can say is that we hope that what little we were able to do for Maki, helped.
In turn, she was more worried about the fact that it was my b-day, and she was going to miss it. So, we had an impromptu party with the three of us at her place. Maki bought me new PJs from VS, and a VERY special Star braclet that matches the one that she wears. She's also going to buy me a star cell phone charm in Japan that matches hers. :-) Seymen, who went shopping with Maki, bought me a really cute...REAL coach purse! It's green (my fav. color of course) with little lady bugs and rhinestones. Soooo cute :-) This is my first REAL anything purse. Maki informed Seymen, who in turn informed me, that this is a turning point in my life. Everyone goes through stages and by turning 25, my fake Gucci's are OUT. COMPLETELY. ;-) <--Those are Maki's exact words by the way :-)
Ok, so now I'm back at Seymen's apartment...and I'm going to go back to sleep until 8:30. Poor Seymen had to go straight into work. Last night was another push...but Seymen took the night off for me, so that we could spend my birthday together. Many thanks to Nate and Thaun who had to stay all night (still there this morning when I left Seymen at the office @ 6AM) and let Seymen have the night off...and even more Thanks to Nate because he's leaving for Mexico in 15 minutes.
