Aloha friends!
Another week is over and here’s what happened:
+ I’m in my Labubu buying stage. I didn’t really want one but I wanted to get one for my daughter, since I didn’t know what else to buy her in South Korea as a souvenir. But I was out of luck when I went to Pop Mart there and then we tried looking at Pop Mart vending machines there and at Haneda airport and no luck. So when I came home, I felt like these bubus were haunting me because I couldn’t find one (and no I did not want to pay $75 for one – I wanted it retail price!) I was like, I’ll buy one on the Pop Mart app and went on tiktok to learn all the tricks of Labubu hunting 😅. The app was tedious and hard. It took me awhile to score one. But I scored them easier on the tiktok live US shop – it’s actually so much easier to buy it there. Anyway…my daughter has like 4 Labubus with more coming – Big Into Energy ones. 😂

She has Sisi, Ququ, Coca Cola, and Hehe. Her Coca Cola Labubu couldn’t put the red shirt on so my daughter gave it to Ququ and put a triangle on the shirt and I was like “press play?”. She said no, it’s YOUTUBE! 😅. Anyway, my best friend thinks they look scary and demonic (but her niece is obsessed so she’s buying an unopened one from me for her). I think they are cute! They remind me of Where the Wild Things Are – a book I loved reading to my son when he was young (apparently it scared him and he didn’t tell me until he was older 🫠).
+ My hubby and I have a trip to Las Vegas in 2 weeks! We’re going to see Lady Gaga in concert. I’m trying to figure out what things we can do in Vegas besides EAT and gamble? Any ideas? Last time I went with my friend was for a concert and again all we did was eat and gamble 😬. We aren’t really down for the nightlife – we are so boring, we sleep early at our age! One good thing is the hotels are so huge you have to walk a lot anyway so that’s good with all the eating.
