Hello 2010

[rkold]

I do not think I am meant for weird KitKats. I've now tried Ginger Ale and Ramune and I wish I hadn't! I'm not sure which one I find more foul, but I think it's probably Ramune. I can't imagine eating this for fun. I love Japan but some flavors would be better not made. Though I will say the baked sweet potato ice cream I had in Kamakura is still one of the best things I've ever eaten ;;_;;

2009 was an eventful year for me, it included:

The husband's grandmother dying
The husband's sister getting married
Going to Japan 5 times
Discovering onsen and regretting not discovering them earlier
Finally getting in some prime hanami time
Successfully growing over 30 pounds of vegetables in my garden
Deciding to sell my house
Becoming a doujinshika
Becoming addicted to BPAL
Discovered I own a food processor
was saddened when NY Dolpa was cancelled
Went on a Volks Cruise
Went to Cedar Point ♥


For 2010 I'd like to:
Go to Japan
Grow more vegetables
Start my dwarf orchard
Be more creative in my cooking
Make dough once a week
Sell more doujinshi!
Go to a Trunk Show for BPAL
Attend my brother's wedding!
Visit more onsen
Enjoy more hanami

So the house is coming along but I need to work on my next doujinshi for February and plan my next trip. Ideas I am playing with include: going to Ammonoshidate to get my final view (but will it be horrifically cold?!?) Going to Takayama (supposedly very atmospheric in the snow!), Going to Okinawa (hello, semi-tropical vacation!), Bessho onsen (so I can see the secret onsen of the Sanadas), Kutatsu Onsen ♥ seeing more of Kyushu, It's going to be mid-to late February so my concern is snow and cold. It's one thing to walk around in deep snow to an onsen and sit in hot water, it's another thing to go somewhere involving sightseeing. Also if I go to Okinawa do I need to rent a car? I have a valid license for renting but the driving thing makes me anxious.

I'm going, but I don't know if I'll do the whole get there at 6 and wait in line for hours thing. What are you interested in?

I did finally get the FCS, I'd written down the wrong apartment number. >.> But it worked out because Volks fixed the headplate when it got sent back. That sucks about the eyes! Do you want me to try to get you some with a future order?

I think the post office only delivers New Year's cards from the 1st to the 3rd, so no packages lately. ;_; If my mailbox isn't stuffed full when I come home from work tomorrow, I'm going to explode!

Hmmm thanks for the FCS offer, I might do a split in the future or something, it's more I wanted a picture to share the color since there really aren't good pictures of #28. I loved how they were green with the blue rim and instead I got the yellow green color. It's still nice but not the same. Technically, I don't need more eyes, I'm just an addict. Though if I keep the f-43 I need either zouks, Silver, Hitomiya or something nice for it. I had a great pair of Hitomiyas but cleaned them good ;;_;;

Yeah I know re: the line thing. I'm trying to get a space for SCC :3 I don't want so much, I need to see what circles I like. I love Geass which is one its way out and Basara which will be huge? But I don't like the BIG pairing and maybe something else? I need to track down my circles, can I email you/get back to you with spaces? I need to place an order with BPAL soon so if you want I am happy to order some bottles and can bring them with me in February since it will be around when they're shipping. And again I'm getting some stuff I think you might enjoy, I just bought another 1/2 bottle of Bake Sale ♥

Ohhhhh well I sent a package and hopefully you get it soon. ;;_;; So even if other people are bad, at least *I* was thinking of you and sent you something! :D
