Well, tomorrow is my last day in the US, before I get on planes and head back to Japan and work. Boo. I've really enjoyed being home, even if there have been some low notes. Some lower than others. But there have been some really wonderful things too.
Also I've found out too late that my Mom would have wanted to see Sherlock Holmes. Boo! Now I will have to wait (forever) to see it in Japan.
Parents are both working tomorrow, so I will be spending a day with my doggies and writing up recipes from my mother's recipe box. SERIOUSLY that will take ALL day, I think. Because I have a HUGE pile of them. XD
I have really enjoyed watching American TV and commercials--SO MUCH FUN. I LOVE watching the cooking shows, the eating shows, and yes--DIY shows. I'm never in the US to watch actual shows (and this year, I just haven't had a lot of time to search out any House or CSI marathons), so I just watch the one offs on DIY channel, Travel (there are food shows on the Travel Channel), and Food Network.
And then there's been snow. There was a snowstorm the first day I was home, and I had a white Christmas. Then it rained, and I went out to Pittsburgh, where it snowed again. The Pittsburgh trip was too quick, but it was so nice. If the Hykes' and Tina and Katherine still live out there when I come back, I think I want to live in Pittsburgh again. I miss the area, I miss the people. But I have things that I want to do in this upcoming year, and if they don't pan out, well . . . I know I have a place to return to.
I really wish that the US and Japan were closer. Or at least the places that I lived in the US were closer to Japan (like, if Pennsylvania could be on the West Coast, that would be nice).
I should be back in August. I'll be pretty pissed off with my new job is I don't get to be home in August. I have no idea what said new job will be yet, however I am looking forward to ANYTHING BUT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. Elementary school work, COME TO MEEEEEE! Or maybe college work that will put me in a language school during August. Hey, if we are all making wishes, that's my greatest wish and desire. Along with getting my comic off the ground. And getting a date
I'm going to enjoy tomorrow. Gonna laze around with dogs, watch a cheesy musical version of Sleeping Beauty that has FANTASTIC costuming and sets. And hopefully Taco Bell for lunch. With sausage for dinner, yum.
AND THEN WHEN I GET BACK TO JAPAN I am never eating again. XDDD So much GOOD food while I was home!
Okay. Stuff to do. Or at least, I am done with this entry.
gnight.
