Happy New Year! (if anyone even still reads this poor neglected blog, haha) I hope your 2013 has been amazing thus far and exponentially more awesome as the year goes on <3
I apologize for the lack of kawaii posts~lots of personal things going on in my life and of course the holidays are often bustling and crazy.
I've not acquired any new kawaii in months and I've not taken pictures of my current collection in ages so I've had very little posting material. Bad blogger, I know >.<
Anyway, I'm thinking about 'thinning the herd', so to speak, and may sell a portion of my kawaii collection as I could definitely use the money and the free space.
I plan to go through my Arpakasso family and my other kawaii plushes to see who I'm willing to part with. Would anyone be interested in some older, harder-to-find plushes (Amuse, San-X, some other kawaii brands) if I were to sell some?

Kawaii Drought
Hey guys!
I've not posted in nearly a month and that's awful >__< The truth is, I go through waxing and waning periods with kawaii collecting, and this is one of those waning periods. I've shifted my purchasing focus to something completely unrelated to kawaii (my husband and I hope to start a family next year so I have been stockpiling baby items) and so very few kawaii packages are arriving to my mailbox.
Anyway, I bought a large Arpakasso on eBay a few weeks back (it was actually my 'holy grail' Arp~a super hard to find curly-haired brown llama style without eyelashes. I don't know that it's even authentic but I don't care. I love him! I believe the seller has a second on eBay right now... so much for being hard to find! :P) but have no pictures yet. I also bought a remote-controlled Mameshiba toy :D
I have two Arpakasso items on pre-order: a white backpack and a small purple backpack pouch. Those won't be released for about another month so I will probably not have any more new Arpakasso cuteness until then. I am not crazy about most of the new series coming out. I don't really understand why they are making the Starbucks-themed line... I hate coffee so I guess I am just biased. [shrugs] I could take or leave the sparkly tiara and Candy Kid plushes. I do love the recent pirates and the Olympics guys, though. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will release some Halloween ones this year! Or even Xmas themed.

Apologies for the lack of posts
I've had a lot going on lately and my blog has suffered -__-
One of my grandmothers fell and broke her hip in several places so she's been in the hospital and I've been taking turns with my aunts staying with her overnight. She's doing well, though, so hopefully she'll be able to go home within a week!
She is an amazing lady. Still sharp as a tack, too! ^_^
One of my beloved family pets is also not doing well. Sammy is our 21 year old kitty and he was my very first cat. He was a stray we adopted in 1992 and the vet estimated him to be around a year old when we found him. He's always been our cranky little mainstay and my heart is breaking that he is so frail.

I'm sorry that this post is so depressing... I have some kawaii goodness on its way to me so I hope to return to happy, colorful posts soon.
