Ordered My Bento Box!
I use to be so good at saving money. What happened to that kind of attitude and personality? Ah, well... at least I got all the necessary things today: shampoo, bird food, cat treats... and a bento box. Seriously! If I'm going to start eating my own prepared meals, I need to have a really cute, really adorable, beautiful bento box to carry my lunches around in, don't I?!
... of course I do. Anyway, I've been feeling a "bento fever" coming on for a couple weeks now, ever since I stumbled across Biggie's Lunch in a Box blog. I need to bring a lunch to work/school anyway... so why not have it be in an adorable bento box? After a little shopping around (and a tiny bit of money finally making its way into my bank account) I picked out a Sakura "Koban" 2 Tier bento box from J-Box. It's very beautiful! Classy and elegant - I can see myself using it for years! I can't wait for it to arrive, though it'll take another two to four weeks...
Bento boxes appear to be quite the craze, too. A quick glance through Lunch in a Box's links has taken me into a large LiveJournal community where bloggers update almost daily with pictures of their bento lunches. I have to say I'm really impressed - but... really don't plan on spending as much time as everyone else seems to on meals. I've got studying to do!
Speaking of studying, I tried to track down some school supplies today... but really, what do you need for college beyond some pens and notebook paper?
Edit ... Wow. They have a "Bento Challenge" livejournal group that competes to design differently themed bento lunches each week. I have to say I'm tempted! Once I get the hang of packing my own lunch efficiently, I'll have to try out a few of their challenges!
