thank goodness!

to many things! or at least two :-P

i was able to come home early today because i finished early at the elementary school (which was a fantastic visit ~ love the little ones, they are so easy! hee). probably should have gone to the board of education but you know, i was never told that if i finish before my hours on my contract that i had to go to the boe so i figure its ok every once in a while not to go.

last time i blogged i said how bad i sucked on the hill ... well that has changed too! went snowboarding thursday night with some coworkers (ran into some other friends too) and did a lot better that night. then i went on saturday and sunday and was doing a lot better. still very cautious on the hill though :-P

because of recent improvement on the snowboard, my relationship with the snow has become a love hate relationship. u need snow to snowboard right? its also really pretty after a new snow! but if it snows that means i have to shovel it and thats the part that im now so over! (u know this wouldnt be my blog during winter if it didn't mention some sort of snow shoveling!) too bad there isn't a way that it could only snow on the mountain and not here ... ahh, alas this is not california!

i dont think i ever wrote about my blind date either. well technically it was a group blind date and very japanese culture! one of my japanese friends and i saw this guy who was cute and her cousin knows him. so we told him to set up something up so we could meet him. so he said he would set up whats called a gokon, esentially same number of guys and girls go out to see if there is any chemistry. so it was supposed to be me and my friend and the guy we thought was cute and some other guy. well we showed up and her cousin and some other guy was there. the cute one had a cold (supposedly) so essentially there was only one available guy there and lets just say i wasnt feeling it at all. oh well ... maybe next time! should keep my options open :-P
