I haven’t written a letter since about a week and a half before Christmas. I’ve been so wiped out recently that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. Next week I’ll get to it…. along with the 100’s of other things I have been putting off doing. sigh I need to sleep for a week…..

How I did it
It made me
Sore 
How I did it: After a brief lesson from our friends, we were off to the lift. I fell getting off, something that I did most every time I tried to get off of it. It took me nearly an hour to get down the bunny slope. Thank God for butt pads! I fell so hard once that it knocked the wind out of me. I bruised me knee and my ego pretty good, but no broken bones. My husband got pretty good at it by the end of the day. … Read how I did it…

How I did it: After my attempt at snowboarding I went and rented ski's. Shyla gave me a few pointers and we headed for the lift. First time off the lift on the skis and I crashed.... hard. I lost a ski on that tumble. My first fall on the way down was interesting. Shyla laughed so hard that she nearly fell down herself. I kept at it and had a near miss with a tree. We took pictures of me and the tree. Aft… Read how I did it…

I’ve been reading books from the library like a fool the past 3 months or so. I got a TON of books for my birthday and Christmas. I think once I finish all of my new books and the last of the library ones that I currently have that I will mark this one as done. I love to read, I just got out of the habit with the move to Japan and the adjusting to a new place. But I am back in read mode now! After the one I am on I am going to start on Gregory Maguire’s ‘A Lion Among Men’. It is the 3rd book in the Wicked series and I am SUPER excited about it!
I went out in town yesterday and got all the stuff I need to make sushi. I even asked a guy at Universe, in my VERY broken Japanese, where something I needed was! Woo!! So after dance class this morning I am going to come home and try my hand at making sushi rice and then a few rolls! I hope it turns out, cause I am a sushi addict and making it myself is much cheaper than feeding the need at the pink sushi place out in town. :)
