bobcatmoranI’m spending the final hours of 2006 at home, making a tiny batch of mochi for tomorrow. Gotta have the sweet rice cakes for a sweet New Year, y'know? Or something. I forget the symbolism of like half the stuff we have for New Year's, and I think that a lot of it actually doesn't have any symbolism at all but is just stuff we make because Baachan made it. We'll be having a pretty full table, both food-wise and people-wise. Grandma and Grandpa from my dad's side, my dad's girlfriend, and the French foreign exchange student who's staying with us over the holidays will all be there, along with my dad, me and my sibs.
There's also snow on the ground! Real snow! You can't even see the grass any more! I was so crabby this morning when I woke up and saw that it was still raining like it had been for the last couple of days, but then it switched over to snow sometime while I was at work. The roads are pretty awful right now, and I can't help but think that this is not a good night for that to happen. Drunk partygoers + sucky visibility + slick roads = car inna ditch. I saw one on the way home, and I'm sure there's plenty more out there. Still, at least aesthetically speaking, it's a vast improvement over the brown landscape of this morning, and the plants need the insulation layer if the weather turns really cold again. And it's not really winter without snow.
I hope everyone has a happy new year!
