busyOn a completely different note, I spent yesterday night making manju for the dinner we're having at the in-laws tonight. As I was leaving work yesterday, I told my boss that I was going to go home and bake. She said, "Oh my god, I thought you said you were going to go home and bake!" I told her that WAS what I had said and she looked completely shocked and asked, "Do you know how to do that?" Haha! If you knew my boss, you'd completely understand since she's really not one for cooking. ;)
And hopefully the fireworks here won't be too bad this year with all the projected rain in the forecast. Last year it was ridiculous! The streets were so smoky that Mark could barely see 5 feet in front of him as we were driving home. :P I know that it's a cultural thing here and expected, but I can't see how some people can spend upwards of $800 on fireworks each year. :P I'm hoping tonight is a little quiter than last year. Thankfully Sydney doesn't freak out too much with all noise - in fact, she's usually pretty good about it each year.
Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year! :) I'm off to clean up around here in preparation (since they say the way you leave your house on New Year's Eve is the way it'll be for the rest of the year) Yikes! :) Hope you all have a good one! Be safe! :)
