Fatal attraction to stationery ^o^~☆
I can get lost in Japanese stationery stores.
They are often multi-storied and offer a huge variety of goods from pens to notebooks, from sticks to writing paper. Japanese culture traditionally gives a great importance to seasonal changes and all the merchandise (stationary included) changes in color and patter altogether.
The only problem is that if I happen to enter a stationery store I can't leave without having bought something. Utility is not the only reason why people buy things and I am so madly attracted by beauty. ^o^
Sometimes I wonder if I am purchasing a book jacket/cover or a crumb of charming fabric, a pencil sharpener or a glimpse of pure wonder.
My solution to the problem? I walk a little faster every time I see a stationary from afar and just go away. (^o^);

My favorite cafe
Almost every day, after work or when I have a day-off, before going to pick up my baby boy at the childcare, I spend some time (at least a couple of hours, at most five hours or more) in a very cozy cafe I found out in the little town I recently moved in.
In Japanese cafes the price of drinks and food is quite expensive while eating out in a restaurant is definitely affordable.
Starbucks and other coffeehouse chains are everywhere but I still prefer the familiar atmosphere I can enjoy being a regular customer in a cafe. I can concentrate on my writings and my PhD thesis and, when I feel that all my energies have dried up, I can relax chatting with the girls that run the place and wait for the inspiration to came back.
Moreover the food is absolutely delicious. I simply adore their muffins :)
Do you have any favorite place you are a regular customer of?
(thanks to everyone who will read, comment or correct my piece of writing m(_ _)m )

Being hopeless absent-minded
I am a terribly forgetful person. Friends and family define me just "clumsy" and laugh at my mistakes. Besides they find this aspect of my character even nice and funny and I would say they like me just the way I am.
Though, sometimes I find clumsiness quite painful and debilitating, especially at work. I am an hard worker and I'd describe myself as a perfectionist. Still, I can enter an important meeting with my clothes upside down or with just one of my eyes with mascara worn and nothing on the other one. I must admit it's quite embarrassing.
Furthermore, after my baby's birth, the situation has even got worse. Recently I forgot to take off the label from two new clothes and one day, while riding my bicycle, I realized I had my back completely naked: I had forgotten to get the zipper of a long and elegant dress up！！！I was overwhelmed with shame.
How can I be less absent-minded? T___T
***********************************************
It's the first time I create a notebook ^^.
Can you check it and tell me where I made a mistake? I will be very grateful to anyone who reads it and can help me~☆
