Christmas is around the corner

Wow, the year has flown by so fast! I only have 3 more presents to buy! YAY! But then there are the shipping costs and what not...thank God I get paid on the 25th of every month! YAYAYAY!!!! I love it! In Japan it is very common to get paid only once a month. The 25th is everyone's pay day...which makes going to the bank horrendous on pay day...trust me, you want to avoid it. Everyone is in lines waiting for the ATMs.

Today I attempted to get my shopping done, but I couldn't find anything for dad....but I have an idea so hopefully I will get it tomorrow morning before work. Mom is another one I still have to buy for and Jason, my brother in law, is the last person...although I have already gotten most of Jason's present. Its going to be weird not being in the States for Christmas...I really wish I could be home for the holidays. And if the economic situation doesn't improve, it may be the first of many. We will just have to see.

Have a great day today in the States. It rained all day here, but I guess that is better than snow. Stay dry everyone!
