Merry Christmas!
メリークリスマス!
즐거운 성탄절을 바랍니다!

Is everyone having a lovely day? I’m relaxing in my pajamas and my nephews are coming over soon to open gifts. Soon, wrapping paper and Legos will be flying in every which direction.

I’ve been sick for a week so I’m pushing Paris back until about mid-January. It sucks that I won’t be there on my actual birthday (the 1st) but it’s still a birthday trip (^-^).

The video is done, I just can’t make it appear on my blog yet! Until I figure out how to make it appear here, you can see it by clicking here. I finally got it to work on the blog, yay!

Happy Holidays!

As I was flying out of Seattle, I had a great view of Mt. Rainier.

I enjoy traveling, especially when the seat next to me is empty ~ yay for space! The 6 hour snow delay in Chicago on my layover was less than ideal, but I made it home at 3:00 am.

I’m home now and scrambling to finish wrapping gifts and planning my Paris trip. Somehow I didn’t realize I leave for France in, um, two weeks. Where does the time go? 直ぐパリに行きます.

I should have the video posted by Friday.

Sometimes you just need a cup of coffee to get you going~

Hello from Seattle ~ I’m actually staying in the Bellevue area and the weather is cold and snowy. It’s lovely holiday weather though and I’ve been having a ball (^-^). I also have a video that I’ll be posting soon on the blog ~ YAY!

雪が降っています.
きれいですね～

I am flying home Tuesday and with the time change and cross-country distance, it’s an all day process. I’m so close to Japan (only a 7 hour flight from here) and I’m pining to go there again *soon*

I’m back from New York and packing for Seattle now (^^;)

I had such a great time in NY! I want to say thank you to my friends who made my weekend extra spectacular.

I bought some snazzy Chanel nail polish that is a color I’ve never seen before (I’ll try to post a pic when I paint my nails with it) and Prada shoes. It was super cold when I left, so I’m glad to be home and maybe I’ll get some snow in Seattle (it rarely snows where I live now and since I grew up in Chicago, I miss the snow).

I have never eaten Korean food before (yes, I managed to visit Seoul and eat NO Korean food while I was there). So one of my friends took me to a delightful Korean restaurant in NYC and introduced me to the cuisine. Turns out, I really like Korean food. (^-^)v

Again, THANK YOU to my three fabulous friends!! You really made my weekend wonderful.

I’m in New York City for the weekend visiting friends, Christmas shopping and doing all the fun, festive stuff for the holidays.

Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree

We were going to go ice skating at Rockefeller Center but it was too cold *boohoo* so we ran for hot chocolate instead *woohoo*  (^-^)/  Even though it’s cold, it’s fun to bundle up and see all the lights and decorations.  Ahhh ~ Christmas in NY.

December Sparkle Scopes are up on the main page ~ *letsnottalkaboutwhathappenedtonovembersparklescopes*

I’m off to New York City this weekend for some Christmas shopping and hanging out with my friends.  Then I’m off to Seattle the next weekend and then I’m planning on a quick jaunt to Paris for my birthday (January 1) so look for pics and updates soon (^-^)

Happy Holidays!
Stay warm & safe.
