hiro had an early day today, that is, a half day of school. i thought that meant 12:45 so i took sasha and tommy to a local shopping center. as we were leaving at 11:30, i got an e-mail (automated e-mail) from the bus saying they just left the previous stop. oh crap!! i hightailed it home, taking three shortcuts and a trip that usually takes me 20 minutes only took me eight. not something to brag about, really, i'm actually quite astounded i made it (luckily, there were no trains forcing me to stop), we really were there just in time. phew.
it is damn cold out there (and here's where i say i don't think i could live in hokkaido. brrrrr.) and the wind is something fierce. don't. like. it. don't i usually think about moving to hawaii about this time of year? ugh. it might snow, but i doubt it will be more than a few flakes. and where we live, the wind will just blow it away. hiro will be disappointed, though. with all the christmas videos we've been watching, i think he would like to try to catch snow on his tongue. last year it really only snowed during the new year, and we weren't even here. well, we'll see what tomorrow will be like.

I'm definitely jealous! It's extremely cold here, and as of this morning, there is snow too, lots of it. Yuck! I miss Osaka, but I'd pick Kyushu over Nagano any day.
If you want to see snow, come to Tsuruoka! We've just been dumped on...50 cm in 24 hours, with the same forecast for the next 24 hours. ACK.
Sorry...I'm a tad resentful of anyone who doesn't have snow at the moment!
Started snowing this morning - and now there is just a pretty dusting over everything. Doesn't look like it will let up though and by SUnday we might be able to make snowmen!! Yay. But freezing.
well...we don't EVER get snow on this teeny tropical island here but after 30 years of it I am sick to death...I was brought up in Wisconsin so I associate the snow with Christmas. I've actually never ever liked Christmas season here-it is not the same having a blazing hot sweaty and humid till you puke Christmas, yuck. I will gladly trade all of our hot and humid for your snow!! What I would not give for a snowy scene, skiing and a blazing fire after......
