Sleep Over!

While Russell was away in Oregon, I had planned to invite the other women from work over to my apartment for a sleep over. Everyone was excited, but we never set a date and time rolled past before we ever got the sleep-over put together. Russell is back now, but we still wanted to get together, so this weekend one of my co-workers hosted the sleep over at her place.

We rented a movie and bought a pile of snacks and treats from the grocery store. Our hostess made a lovely vegetable curry for us and we chatted all through the movie (leaving us really confused as to the plot). I was the first to go to sleep (some time around 2:30am). I got to sleep in the snuggiest futon I have yet encountered and this morning, for breakfast? Marmite! I had never tried Marmite before (and I did have other, sweeter options to put on toast as well), but I wanted to try something new. It was actually quite good. I had always heard horror stories. I can imagine having had a different experience if I had unwittingly slathered my toast with it, but in moderation, I can see where it would be addictive. Yay for new culinary experiences! Who knew I would be trying Marmite for the first time in Japan?
