My week in review...

Buying...

A pumpkin baby t-shirt from the dollar section at Target for our kitten. I don’t think I would ever dress our kitten up on a regular basis, but it was fun to put this on him in anticipation of Halloween. I also didn’t think he would like wearing the shirt, but he actually purred quite loudly while he was wearing it. He is such a sweet kitten!

Eating...

Choco-pan from the bakery section at Uwajimaya. I love this sweet bread roll filled with chocolate cream. Definitely one of my favorite treats!

Reading...

Nordic Knitting from Kinokuniya Bookstores. I really want to attempt knitting the chain link scarf featured on the cover. I think it would be a fun project to help me practice knitting with double-pointed needles.

Last week was our kitten’s first birthday. As a special treat, we presented him with a little bit of tuna fish (which he goes crazy for) along with a birthday candle. If you look closely in the photo, you’ll realize that he got a little too close to the candle and singed some of his whiskers! Poor kitty... I don’t think he was even fazed by the burnt whiskers, he was too excited about the tuna fish!

Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been keeping busy both at work and at home in preparation of our upcoming vacation back to Hawaii. I can’t wait... we leave Friday morning for a little over a week of fun in the sun! The only bummer about the whole trip is having to board our kitty at the vet while we are away. Hopefully he won’t be too lonely for us!

It was hard being back in the office today after a long weekend of play. Apparently Keanu didn’t get much sleep over the weekend either, since he spent a good part of the day napping in the new bed we bought him in Portland. Lucky kitten!

Our new kitten, Keanu, loves all things Hawaiian as much as we do! Here he is enjoying some of my husband’s poi flown in from Hawaii.

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday season! The last few months have been really busy… full with new experiences and exciting adventures. We had friends and family come to visit us from Hawaii and then we traveled to Las Vegas to meet my family for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun to see how much my little niece has grown and spend quality time with my sisters and parents. Then a couple of weeks ago, we adopted a 2-month-old kitten and are enjoying welcoming him into our family. We named him Keanu and he is quite a handful… very curious about everything and fun-loving. I can’t believe how quickly the past months have flown by… hopefully in the New Year I will be able to find more time to blog!
