So here is what I was doing today at noon...

WORKING!!!!! A nice day in the office with the snow falling outside...

My colleague took this pic as I was working on a spread sheet.... He is no longer allowed in my office!!

I am sooo tired of winter...

My parents live in our house near San Francisco during the winter...

I am the lucky person who gets to take care of their house here in Utah during the winter (when I am here...)

We had a snow storm today and tonight after work I went to their house to clean the snow.... I couldn't even drive up in their driveway.... It was a big job!!!! I am tired of this!!

So I am ready to move back to San Francisco!!! Next year???

Home Sweet Home...

I got back from the auto show. I am so dead. Every night of heavy drinking and no sleep. I can't understand why Japanese guys need to go out every night and drink drink and drink more. Then they just want to watch the girls all night. its crazy taking care of them sometimes. sometimes I feel like I am babysitting them. I only got a couple hours of sleep every night. So it's good to be home for a few days. Then I get to do it again in Japan. I will be returning next week. More busy days and crazy nights.

Here in utah we have bad fog in the winter. I took a video from the plan as we were coming into the Salt Lake City airport. I took the video just as we were passing the mountain that I live at the bottom of. My house is just below the clouds at that mountain you see.

After I get home we have a major snow storm..... My driveway was full of snow. I had to shovel and shovel... I was so surprised to see all this under the clouds. Here is my driveway...

But.... the next morning I took BeeBee to the park to run in the fresh snow... She loves to run and Dalmatians have soooooo much energy... I wish I did..

I am ready for spring........

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2012 is history. On to 2013. I can't believe another year is past. I am sure most of us are saying this!!

Its been a good year but too busy for me. So for next year a couple of things I am going to do.

1- take more time off and enjoy life...
2- connect with old friends...

These are the 2 things I am going to do this year!! As for taking time off..... I already have some big travel plans this year I am looking forward to.

So the holidays here in the states are over. I am back to work tomorrow....ugh!! But I am refreshed and I guess ready to go. Today is new years day. I will not have traditional Japanese new years foods... but I will have traditional Todd's new years foods...

Diet Coke and my favorite cookies from Denmark!!! So today I will be drinking and eating these while watching some football... I guess its pretty boring compared to my friends in Japan but this is all I have!!! Still good enough.

Well I hope everyone has a peaceful new years. Let's get together in 2013!!
