Nat's Cafe now open

Just wanted to let you know that I opened new Nat's Cafe.

I will be working at my new store from now.  Please stop by when you have time!

Thanks!!

iPod Shuffle

I washed my old iPod Shuffle last night when I was doing laundry..

I also washed iPhone earphone. 

Earphone was totally torn and inside wire was coming out.  I threw it away. 

I was pretty sad because my earphone is gone.... It costs $30 if I want to get it at Apple Store. 

Oh, well. 

Then I realized there should be one more thing that I washed along with earphone.....Shuffle. Unfortunately I don't use them sepelately when I listen to the music. I dug into clean laundry pile and found my shuffle.  This is my second time that I washed shuffle in my life. But this time was MY shuffle... ( last time was Adam's brand new).  Adam plugged different earphone in and hit play, guess what, it worked.  Wow, that's unbelievable! Maybe because I put it in the dryer too.  Anyway, my shuffle is now so clean. 

Tornado

Last night, I was out shopping at the mall.  I was putting pants on and trying to figure out which one should I buy, which goes with my shirts, which color matches with most of clothes I have already, and you know, just trying to have fun. 

Then siren went off.  Actually I didn't know what was going on till I got off the room with my favorite pair of jeans in my hand that I was going to buy.  All store staff were waiting for me to come out from fitting room and store shatter was down to the floor. 

Chimney Christmas!

I was so embarrassed at the moment and even felt more idiot when one of the worker asked me if I wanted them to hold one for me....  No thanks! I am not that brave to say hey I have my pants here that I was going to buy when tornado siren went off.

I went to basement with everyone and stayed there for a while, and left 5 minutes later because I really wanted to go home.  It was rough drive though, in the storm, listening to the radio and found out that my house area is getting golf ball size hail.  Did I really want to go home? 

Soon after I got home and evacuated in the basment with two dogs who had no idea what was going on like someone who was in the fitting room just 20 minutes ago, storm stopped and Adam came home. 

First tornado for this year came way earlier than I expected. 

昨日はモールで買い物を楽しんでた。いつもみたいにどれがいっかなぁとか、あのシャツにはどっちが合うかなぁとか、持ってる服と組み合わせるならどれかなぁとか考えながら、ふっつーにショッピングをエンジョイしてたわけ。

って、いきなりサイレンが鳴ったらしい。といっても私はそのとき試着室であれじゃないこれじゃじゃないっていろいろ持ち込んだ服を試着してて、試着が終わって買おうと決めた服を手にして外に出るまでは何が起きてるのか全く気がつかなかったし。。。外に出ると店のスタッフ全員が私が出てくるのを待ってた。。。店のシャッターも閉まってて、開けてもらったし、あげくの果てに店員さんに、お気に入りの洋服を預かろうかってきかれたときはとても恥ずかしかったなぁ。。。あとで戻って来てトルネードのサイレンが鳴り響く中のんびり試着して選んだ服を買いに来たなんてとても言えませんよ、私には。。ははは

モールの地下に避難して、５分くらい待った後で、とても家に帰りたかったから車で帰ることに。嵐の中、ラジオを聞きながらトルネードの位置を確認して運転して、家の近所ではゴルフボールサイズのひょうが降ってるって聞いたときは、本当に帰った方がいいのかなって思っちゃった。

家に着いて、何も知らない犬たちと一緒に地下に避難してすぐに嵐もおさまった。アダムも帰ってきた。ほっとした。

今年のトルネード一号は意外に早く来たなぁ。

Family time

I really should post more often but since I have two other web page to update it always comes to the very end to write something on this page. 

In February, my parents came to visit us from Japan. It was great to see them and we did so much fun together. Since Adam and I had to work almost everyday while they were staying, we couldn't leave Omaha so much but it made them relax and that was what they wanted.

They will come back with my sister's family in September and Yuuu will be here finally!

I was looking for a new job for a month and got an offer last week. I am kind of  sad to leave coffee shop but it's also nice to start something new. 

I will be working in the office all day from now, wow, what a chage.  I am so excited to start my new job at new company.

I just baked Cinnamon Bread while I was watching movie. I was my first time for this recipe but turned out pretty good.  I watched Penelope tonight.  The girl has pig nose.... kind of silly story. I don't need to watch it again.

Maybe I should keep this blog as simple as possible so that I don't feel like writing something here is one of my task or anything. 

Just ignore if I was talking something boring, which I always do. 

本当はもっと頻繁にこのページも更新したいんだけど、なんせ他に２つ違うページを持ってるからどうしてもこのページを更新するのが最後になっちゃう。。

２月は両親が日本から来てました。一緒にとても充実した時間を過ごせたし、久々に会えたのはとてもうれしかったなぁ。アダムも私も両親がこっちにいる間はけっこう仕事ばかりだったから結局オマハをあまり離れることはなく、でもそのおかげで二人とも望み通りゆっくりとした時間を過ごせてよかったって言ってたし、結果よかったみたい。９月にまた来るって言ってるし、今度は妹の家族と一緒に来るし、甥っ子の優羽も来るから楽しみだ！

そうそう、一ヶ月ちょいぼちぼちだけど、就職活動をしてて、先週内定をもらいました！

いざコーヒショップを離れるとなるとなんだか寂しい気もするけど、何か新しいことも始めたかったから決まってよかった。これからは一日ずっとオフィスで働くことになります。。。なんだかコーヒショップに比べたらすごい環境の変化だけど、今からわくわく！

今日はDVDを観ながらシナモンパウンドケーキを焼いたよ。初めてのレシピを挑戦したんだけど、まぁ、なかなかってかんじ。DVDはペネロペっていう女の子が豚の鼻してる映画を観た。

まぁまぁかな。２度は観なくていいやってかんじ。

あ、このブログ、これからちょーシンプルにしてこうと思う。というのもそしたら書かなきゃ！って切羽詰まらないし、気軽に更新できるもん。

ま、くだらないこと言ってるなぁって思ったら読み流してくださいな。いつもくだらないんだけどさ。
