今日で二人とも仕事納めです。今夜から私達も神戸に向けて愛車で帰省をします。短い正月休みを家族やテネシーと過ごしてきます。今年もみなさんには色々とお世話になりました。来年もまた管理人夫婦共々、懲りずにどうぞよろしくお願いします。みなさん、元気に楽しい年末年始を過ごして下さいね~☆Today is our last day at work. Tonight, we'll be heading home to Kobe by car. We'll spend our short new year's holidays with my family and Tennessee. You've been so supportive for us this year! We hope you will continue to support us next year,too. We wish you happy and fun holidays!!

よく一般的に、女の子の理想の人はお父さんだと聞きます。結婚するまで、あまりこの意味がよくわからなかったけれど、最近になってこの意味が徐々にわかりだしてきました。それは私の父とhiroroがささいな共通点を共有しているからです。もちろん外見は全然違えど、仕草や最近は言動まで似ていると思わないでいられません。例えば、二人共、おばちゃんキラーだったり、かかあ天下の家庭と一見思わせておいて、じつは真のボスは自分だったり、間抜けなところなんかもそっくり!今年はブログでもドラマでも「鬼嫁日記」が大ブームでした。二人そろって何をいうかと思えば「我が家も毎日書くネタがあるから、鬼嫁日記を書こうかな」という始末。実父に似てない男と結婚したつもりだけれど...結局は世の中で一番似た相手!?と結婚したかもしれません。(苦笑)In general, they say that a girl's ideal man is her father. Until I got married, I didn't really understand this meaning, but I do now. It's because my father and hiroro has many common characteristics. Although their looks are totally different, they have the common characteristics and recently they share a common behavior and attitudes,too. For example, they are popular among elder women. Their household boss seems like us, wives(mom and I), but the actual boss of the house is them(dad and hiroro). Even their clumsiness are very similar. This year, "Oniyome Diaries" was very popular in both blog and TV drama. But what do they both say?? They both says, "I can write many Oniyome stories because there are many stories every day." I thought I married a man who didn't resemble my father, but I think I married one who is the most similar man in the world!?

昨日はイブということで札幌・大通り公園のホワイトイルミネーションを見に行った私達。偶然、楽しそうなクリスマスイベントに遭遇。そこで「NOLE」という札幌市主催のイベントに参加してきました。趣旨は大通り公園に世界一のクリスマスツリーを作ろうということ。そのサブイベントで7人のサンタを探して、スタンプを押してもらうというスタンプラリーがありました。二人ともスタンプを集めまくって、記念品の交換へ。記念品はサンタさんとツリーの前での記念撮影&お菓子でした。でも、うれしかったな!ちなみに私達の写真も「Nole」のHPでUP!されていた。(笑)楽しい札幌の思い出ができて、楽しかったよ!Yesterday was christmas eve.

今日の午後からマイレージの往復無料航空券を利用して、3泊4日の北海道旅行に二人ででかけてきま~す。どうやら今回は晴れ女の勝利のよう!?飛行機も飛びそうです。北海道といえば新鮮な海の幸!札幌ラーメン!たらふく食べて帰ってきますね。(笑)ちょっと肉づきよくなってるかも?!(苦笑)This afterrnoon, we are off to our 3nights 4days trip to Hokkaido. We are using our flight mileages for free round trip tickets for two. I think the "sunshine person" in me won today's weather battle. It seems like we can fly out of Tokyo today. When you say, "Hokkaido", it reminds me of fresh seafoods and Sapporo Ramen noodles. We'll eat alot and come home a bit heavy!?

最近よく思うこと。それは1年前に比べて、二人とも顔つきが穏やかになり、互いに互いをささいなことでも今まで以上に気遣えるようになったと思うこと。よく考えたら、これってただ単に互いに心の余裕ができてきたのかも知れません。1年前、韓国で暮らしていた頃は毎日がピリピリした日常でした。イライラして当たるにも、当たるのは互いでしかありませんでした。でも、今は違う。帰国して、韓国のワンルームから2DKの住まいになり、険悪な場合は逃げ場もできました。二人とも仕事を始め、あまりささいなことも考えなくなりました。趣味に逃げることもできるようになり、行動範囲も自由になりました。これら、様々な要因が心の余裕を生み出しているんだなって最近改めてよく思います。やっぱり心の余裕ってすごく大事ですよね。やさしくなろうと思っても心に余裕がないと、自分のことでいっぱいいっぱいだから、知らず知らずにトゲトゲしくなってしまう。これからももっと心の余裕を持って、やさしい思いやりのある生活をしていきたいと思います。What I think recently alot is compared to a year ago, when we were living in Korea, our faces are more peaceful and we are more gentle and thoughtful to each other than before. When I think of a reason, I think we now have a little room inside our hearts. A year ago, when we were living in Korea, everyday was tense. When we get stressed out, we have no one to get back at, except for each other. We lived in a 1 room dormitory housing in Korea. When we came back, we now live in 2DK housing. If one is in a bad mood, the other can go to another room until the other cools down. We are now both working, so we also have no time to think over and over about small problems either. We have a hobbies that we can escape to and we can go anywhere now,too. I think these small factors were important essence to making a room in our hearts. When we try to be gentle and thoughtful to others, if we have no room in our hearts, this is very difficult. Because we think of ourselves first and we are also too busy with ourselves. We are tense and mean toothers unconciously. We hope to continue on living a life full of gentle thoughtfulness with more rooms in our hearts.

明日から待ちにまった3泊4日の北海道旅行。でも、ここのところの大寒波と大雪で飛行機が欠航にならないか?!、いささか心配気味。こういう時こそ、晴れ女パワーが炸裂しないかと切に思うのでした。From tomorrow, we are going away on 3nights 4days trip to Hokkaido. We are quite worried that our flight won't be cancelled because of the cold weather and heavy snow storm. This is when I need my "sunshine person power" badly.

今朝は寝坊。目覚まし時計もどうやら無意識に止めてた様子。なんとなくハッ!と目覚めて...「あちゃぁー」隣を見ると、すでにhiroroは起きていた。「どうして起こしてくれないの??遅刻するでしょ!!」「奥様、すごく気持ちよさそうに寝てたから、起こしたらかわいそうと思って...」休日ならば、こういう気遣いはありがたいけど...今日は平日!仕事、あるんですが....(涙)...ってことで、今日はhiroroに送ってもらわないと間に合いません。気遣いのTPOを学んで欲しいと、ちょっと思ってしまいました。This morning, I overslept.It seems like I stopped my alarm clock unconciously again.And I just woke up and "Oh my god!"I looked at my side and found out that hiroro was already up."Why didn't you wake me up?? I'll be late for work!""You were slepping so peacefully that I thought it wouldn't benice to wake you up!"Well, if it was a day off, I really like your thought.But it's a weekday and I have to go to work!!So hiroro will just have to drive me to work, because I just won'tmake it.I want him to learn the TPOs of when to be a little bit morethoughtfulness.

昨夜、二人で夕飯を食べながらいつものようにテレビを見てました。そしたらこんなCMが。「年末ジャンボ宝くじ、明日まで!」hiroro:「宝くじ、買ってこようかな?」tenne:「宝くじなんて、今まで当たった試しがないやん。」hiroro:「僕、当たったよ。奥様という一等賞の宝くじ。」tenne:「...(爆笑) きっとあの時は欲がなかったから特等賞なのよ。 欲深いと当たらないのよ。」hiroro:「もう一度当ててみたいな」tenne:「買うなら自分の小遣いでやりなさいね。」しかし、よくまぁ、ぬけぬけとフツーの顔でそんなことを言うもんだからマジで大爆笑してしまいました。hiroroは彼なりに日々、奥様の操縦法を学んでいるようです。(笑)Last night, we were eating dinner as usual with the TV on.Then there was a CM."The end of the year lotto is on sale until tomorrow!"hiroro:"Maybe I should go out and buy some lotto?"tenne:"But you never win!"hiroro:"Yes, I have! I've won a first prize lotto called my wife"tenne:"...(Sorry, but I laughed hard) You probably didn't expect to win then. That's why you got the grand prize! If you are out to win, then you're chance is to lose."hiroro:"I want to try for a first prize again"tenne:"Well then, go ahead! But with your allowance,you know!"Because he said it with a normal expression on his face without any hesitation, I couln't help laughing hard.I think hiroro is learning on his own about how to control his wife.

なんか喉がイガイガしてたので、念のためにと思い仕事帰りに病院に行った。診察をしてもらう前に熱を測ったら...やっぱり微熱。診察してもらったら「風邪の引き始めですね。もう少し厚着して暖かくしないとダメですよ。」と言われてしまった。う~ん、薄いけど、これでも3枚着てるんですが...もうこれ以上は着れないよ。(涙)...ってことで、薬をもらって昨夜はさっさと寝ました。だって2日後には北海道!それまでには体調も万全にしなくちゃね!Because my throat was sore, I went to my family doctor on my way home from work. Before it was my turn, I had to measure my temperature. Surely I had a slight fever. My doctor told me, "You're catching a cold. You should wear more clothing and keep yourself warm." Umm... although it's light clothing, I'm wearing 3 shirts and I can't wear anymore! Anyways, I got my medicines and went to bed early last night. 2 more days till we depart for our trip to Hokkaido. Before our trip, I have to overcome my cold!

昨夜、テレビで見ていたフィギュアスケート世界グランプリのエグゼビジョン。私はスケートの試合を見るのも好きですが、それ以上にエグゼビジョンを見るのがもっと好き。なぜなら、みんな、のびのびと楽しそうに滑っているから。私も6歳の頃からフィギュアスケートをやっていました。マイスケートも持っていて、もちろん今でも趣味のスポーツとしてやっています。エグゼビジョンの楽しそうにのびのびと滑る選手達の姿を見て、私も無性に滑りたくなってきました。うぅ~、滑りたーい!!住んでる近所にどこかスケート場はないかなぁ~。Last night I was watching the exhibition match of world grandchampionship of figure skating. I like to watch skating matches but I like to watch the exhibition matches even more. Because everyone skates very freely and they are enjoying it,too. I've been skating since I was 6 years old. So I have my own skating shoes and it's been one of my hobby sports for many years. After watching the athletes enjoying their skatings, it made me really want to skate,too. I want to skate!! I wonder if there's a skating rink near where I live?

昨日はクリスマス前の週末ということで、ショッピングセンターは人!人!人!以前からhiroroのクリスマスプレゼントには目星をつけていたので、すぐ買えたのですが...無料ラッピングをしてもらうのにすごく時間がかかりました。待ち時間をどうするかな??お茶をするにも混んでいるし、ウィンドウショッピングをするにも人が多い。なので、ちょっと本屋さんに寄ってからマッサージ屋さんに久々に行きました。先週あたりからの本格的な寒さに加え、元々冷え性なので肩や首もガチガチ。30分間の上半身マッサージは極楽でした~♪今週は短いけど、頑張ろうっと。When I went to the shopping center yesterday, there were people every where, because it was a weekend before christmas. Because I knew what I wanted to buy hiroro for chrsitmas, it didn't take too much time to buy the present itself. But the free wrapping took alots of waiting time. What will I do while I wait?? Coffee shops were crowded and shops were too crowded to window shop. So I stopped by at a bookstore and then I went for a massage. Last week's cold weather and because my body gets cold easily, my neck and shoulders are very stiff. 30 minutes upper body massage was very nice. This week is short, but I'm going to work hard.

仲良しの友人が寒中見舞いのメールをくれました。その子が現在住む街も今日は大雪だったらしい。寒いのがまったくダメな私に、「すごく寒くても元気に乗り切れよ!」というメッセージと共に元気なニコちゃんの画像が届きました。すごく寒いけど、相変わらずなカンジ(想像つくと思いますが...)でなんとか完全に冬眠せずやってるよ~♪(笑)One of my good friends sent me a winter greeting e-mail.The town that my friend lives, had a snow storm today.My friend knows that I don't like the cold weather.There was a message, "Although it's very cold, I wish you well!"and a photo of Mr. Smiley.Although it's really cold, (as you can well imagine) I'm doing well as usual without completely hybernating,yet!

今日はhiroroが休日出勤。今日1日、一人で自由行動ができるということもありいよいよクリスマスに向けてtenneサンタ、始動です。クリスマスカードはなんとか昨夜中に全部書き終えたのでポストに投函しに行くついでに、その足で近所のショッピングモールに直行予定。hiroroのプレゼントを買いに行ってきます。今年のクリスマスプレゼントは書き心地の良い万年筆。まだ結婚する前に私が愛用している万年筆を貸したら、とても書き心地が良い!と絶賛していました。今年のクリスマスは北海道で過ごす私達。そんなかさばるプレゼントは持っていけません。カードは昨夜こっそり書いたし、あとはプレゼントを購入するのみ!喜んでもらえるといいなぁ~♪Today hiroro is working.So I have a whole free day to myself.tenne the Santa Claus must start getting ready for this christmas,too.I finished writing christmas cards to families and friends last night.On my way to send out my christmas cards, I'm going straightto the nearby shopping mall to buy hiroro's christmas present.This year's christmas present is a pen that writes smoothly.Before we got married, I once rented him my pen that I personallyuse often because it writes very smoothly.He was surprised at how smoothly it writes.We'll be spending our christmas in Hokkaido.So I can't bring a big present.I secretly wrote him a a card last night.All I have to do is to go out and buy his present.I hope he likes what he'll be getting this year!

天気予報を見ていると、日本は今年最大の大寒波到来だそうだ。公共の交通手段も大雪のせいで止まっていたり、遅れていたり。もちろん来週後半行く予定の北海道の空の便も欠航が多い様子。私達が北海道に行く頃には大雪も止んでいて欲しいと二人で願うばかりです。Watching the weather forecast, Japan is having an extremely cold weather of this season. Because of the snow, the public transportation is delayed or cancelled. Ofcourse, the flight in/out of Hokkaido, where we plan to visit later next week is cancelled,too. We just hope there will be no more snow storm by the time we depart for Hokkaido, later next week.

今年はまだクリスマスカードがまだ書けてません。案外書く気にならないと書けないものなんですよね、手紙やカードって。その前にクリスマスカードを買ってこなくちゃ~。午後から買い物に行く際にクリスマスカード探しをしてこようと思います。かわいくて、楽しいクリスマスカードがたくさん見つかるといいな~♪しかし、ステーショナリーショップが大好きなんでまたくだらんポストカードまで買いそうなのがちょっと怖い私。セーブしなくては...(苦笑)明日はhiroroが休日出勤するので、その間書いてあさってに出せば、なんとかクリスマスまでには間に合うでしょうか?!I haven't been able to finish writing this year's christmas cards,yet.It's hard to start writing letters and cards, until you reallyfeel like it.But I have to go out and buy some christmas cards first!This afternoon, we are going shopping.I'll look for some cards then.I hope to find many cute and fun christmas cards.I love stationary shops.I'm afraid I'll buy some unnecessary fun post cards.I better not do that today!Tomorrow, hiroro is working. So while he is gone, I'll stay home and write these cards.If I send them out on Monday, it'll get to everyone by christmas,right?!

来週のクリスマス連休にマイレージで韓国旅行を計画していた私達。往路の飛行機は取れたけど...キャンセル待ちをかけていた復路の飛行機が取れずに、今回は残念ながら行けなくなりました。しかし、この二人分の飛行機往復券のマイレージ、有効期限があります。その有効期限は年内いっぱい。使わないともったいないということで、今回はそのマイレージで北海道に行くことになりました。当初の目的地とはちょっと異なるけれど、北海道は高校の修学旅行以来なんで今からちょっと楽しみです。行くまでに北海道について、もう少しリサーチしようっと。We were planning to visit Korea this coming Christmas holidays using our airline mileages. We were able to reserve tickets going to Korea. Although we had waited for cancelled seats, we weren't able to reserve our tickets to come home. It's a bit disappointing situation, but we decided not to go to Korea this time. But this airline mileages good for 2 peoples round trip tickets have a valid date. We must use it until the end of this year. So it's better off using it while we can. This time, we decided to go to Hokkaido. Although it's not the destination of our first plan, I'm looking forward to visiting Hokkaido because I haven't been there since my highschool field trip. We have to read and research a bit about Hokkaido before we leave.

仕事で日付確認の為にカレンダーを見ていたら...ぎょえぇ~!もう来週末ってクリスマス!?そして再来週にはお正月!?今年の春先はまだまだ1年なんて長いよ~ってぼんやり思っていたのがうそのよう。もう新年もすぐそこ!淡々と日常生活を送っていると、いかに時間の感覚が麻痺しちゃうか、ちょっとわかったかも!? I was looking at the calendar at work to check the dates for some documents. Oh my! Next weekend is christmas already!? And the week after that is already New Year's!? Just this spring, I thought a year is very long. But New Year's coming soon! When I'm living an ordinary life without thinking at all, I realized that time passes by more quickly than I think.

昨日の午後から頭痛がひどい。後頭部の右側がガンガン割れそうに痛いので、めったに飲まない頭痛薬を飲んで早々と寝ました。今朝もやっぱりまだ少々痛い。やっぱり気圧や気候とかが体調不調と関係があるのかな??I had a migrane headache since yesterday afternoon. Right side of my head hurted really badly. Usually, I don't drink asperin at all. But I couldn't stand my headache, so I drank it and went to bed early. I wonder if the physical conditions are influenced by air pressure and weather in general??

子供の頃のクリスマスの思い出といえば...サンタさんへの手紙。小学校低学年までサンタさんがいると信じきっていた私は字が書けるようになった頃から、毎年、今くらいの時期になると書いていました。何を書いていたかははっきり覚えてませんが、自分がその1年、どれだけ良い子で過ごしたかとか何を頑張ったか、そしてクリスマスに欲しい物を書いていたような気がします。アメリカに住んでいた頃は、親にサンタさんは日本語は読めないサンタさんもいるから英語で書こうねといわれて素直に日本語と英語で書いていたような記憶も残っています。今から思えば、あれはいい語学の勉強に利用されてたのね、としかとうてい思えませんが...(苦笑)いつの頃からかサンタさんへの手紙は書かなくなってしまったけれど、今となってはなんとなくいい思い出です。 My childhood memories of Christmas is writing a letter to Santa Claus. I believed in Santa Claus up until I was in 3rd grade. Since I learned how to write, I wrote to Santa Claus around this time of the year, every year. I don't remember exactly what I wrote.But I think I wrote about how good girl I was that year and what I want for christmas. When I was living in the States, my parents told me that not all Santa Claus can read Japanese and I should write to him in both Japanese and English. I believed their words and I remember writing a letter to Santa Claus in both Japanese and English. Now that I look back at my childhood memories, my parents were smart enough to fool me and made me study both languages.Although I had stopped writing a letter to Santa Claus, a long time ago, it's a nice childhood memory to remember every now and then.

先日、今年1年を表す漢字一文字が公表されました。今年は「愛」だったとか。去年の私達の1年を表す一文字は変化多き1年を表して「変」でした。さて、今年はどんな1年だっただろうと振り返ってみました。今年も新年早々慌しいかったなぁ~(苦笑)今年は新しいことづくしでした。二人で新しい街に越してきて、二人とも新しい環境下で新しい仕事にも就きました。新しい友人達もできました。義父が他界し、身内内でも長男夫婦としての役割も初めて自覚し、経験しました。そして今も興味ある新しいことには常に日々チャレンジしつつあります。それよりなにより、遅ればせながらも落ち着いた一応?!新婚生活もそれなりに楽しんでいます。あまりそうも思われてはいませんが、実は私達はまだ結婚して1年半ちょいしか経ってません。なので、今年の我が家の漢字一文字は「新」で決まりだな。さぁ、来年はどんな漢字一文字の1年になるだろうな~。The other day, the one letter Kanji reflecting upon this year was announced. This year was 「愛("Ai", one letter Kanji meaning "love")」. For us, last year's one letter Kanji to reflect upon that year was 「変("Hen", one letter Kanji meaning "changes" in Japanese)」. So we looked back at what had happened this year. We were busy from the start of the new year. Everything was new to us, this year. We moved to a new town, we both started our jobs under a new environment. We made new friends. My father-in-law had passed away and we had to take care of many family businesses as eldest son and his wife. It was a new experience for us. We are still challenging many new things that interests us in our daily lives,too. Although it's a bit belated, we are also enjoying a calm and quiet newly wedded couple's life,too. You may not think so, but we have only been married for a little over a year and half. So this year's one letter Kanji to reflect upon us is 「新("Shin", one letter Kanji meaning "new" in Japanese」.I wonder what next year's one letter Kanji will be??

海外赴任中の友人からメールが届きました。この友人、来春には帰国が決まっているのだが、後任者がなかなか決まらないらしい。実は先日、後任者が決まって引き継ぎをするんだという話を聞いていたのだが、後任者が慣れない環境に加え、仕事の内容からくるプレッシャーと責任感からノイローゼになり、赴任中止になったらしい。確かに国内の転勤でも新しい環境に慣れるまでかなりしんどいのに、海外赴任ともなるときついかもしれません。この話しを聞いて、つくづく海外暮らしには向き、不向きがあるんだな~って思いました。ちなみに我が家は精神的にたくましいところが二人ともあるので、どこでもなんとか生きてはいけるだろうなって思ってしまいました。A e-mail arrived from our friend living and working abroad. This friend is coming back to Japan next spring, but his succesor is not yet decided. The other day, he was telling us that his succesor was decided and he was going to teach the succesor. But because of the new environment and the pressure and responsibilities that he had to face with this job, the succesor got mentally unstable. Their boss decided that this succesor wasn't fit for this job. It's true that it's very hard to get used to a new environment when transferring in Japan. It'll be much harder for one to get used to a new environment, when living abroad. After hearing this story, it made us think that there's a character fit to live abroad. With us, there's something mentally strong that we both have, so we'll be able to live and survive anywhere in the world.

昨日は出張の代休で休みだったhiroro。夕食後は久々に二人でまったり、のんびり~♪我が家は夕食後の団欒が少ないから、こういう時間はとても貴重です。だって、いつもhiroroは夕食後の休憩の後は研究室に夜中までこもるからね。たまにこういう時間があると、すごくホッとします。Yesterday hiroro had a day off, because he just came back from a business trip. After dinner, we relaxed and enjoyed our time together. This is a very valuable time for us, because we hardly have our time together after dinner. We don't share too much time together because hiroro always goes back to lab and doesn't come home until midnight. So when we can share a valuable time, it makes us a bit happy.

今朝は朝から底冷えでした。チャリでいつものように通勤途中、空から白いものが落ちてくる。信号待ちでフッと空を見上げたら...チラチラ雪が舞い降りてきてました。一人で初雪だぁ~♪とちょっと喜んでました。どおりで寒いはず!だね。This morning, it was extremely cold.When I was riding my bike to work as usual,there was white something falling from the skies.As I was waiting for the traffic lights to turn to green, I saw some snow falling down on me."It's the first snow of the year!", I thought to myself happily.No wonder it's freezing, huh!?

hiroroが昨日、カナダ出張から帰ってきました。お土産はカナダに生息するクマのぬいぐるみ。毛がとてもソフトで触り心地がとてもいいクマさんです。そしてポイントは肉球。これもさわり心地がいい~♪本当はもっとかわいいクマを探したらしいけど、ちょうどいいサイズがこれしかなかったとか?!毛が気持ちよく、抱き心地が最高にいいので、昨夜から抱きクマとして一緒に寝ています。(笑)hiroro came home yesterday from his business trip to Canada. The souvenir for me was a stuffed Grizzly bear. Its fur is nice and soft.I love to touch it. And the paws are also nice to touch,too. He looked for a cuter looking bears, but he couldn't find one just the right size. I've been sleeping with this stuffed bear from last night, because he's so soft and cozy to hold on to.

今日は有休を取りました。たまには日常に追われずに一人のんびりしたかったから。でも休みにも関わらず、なぜか休みの日の方がスムーズに起きれちゃう(苦笑)元々視力はとても悪いのですが、ここ最近視力がまた落ちたので、つかの間ののんびり休暇の間はノーPCライフを送りたいと思います。だからHP更新も数日間はお休み!たまにはアナログライフもいいかな?!Today I got a day off from work. Sometimes I want to spend some time alone without looking at my watch. Although it's my day off, I can get up more smoothly than my working days. My eyesight is very poor. Recently my eyesights has worsened. So while I have my days off, I'm going to live without my PC. My website won't be renewed for few days. It'll probably be nice to live a analog life sometimes, don't you think?!

昨夜の職場の忘年会、前回よりもおとなしめかつ思っていたよりも早く終わりました。その後、職場で仲良くしている同僚達とファミレスへ。そこでささやかながら内輪だけの忘年会をデザートとドリンクバーのセットを飲み食いしながらやりました。その方が断然盛り上がり、気づいたら2時間半ほど経過してました。(笑)飲み会があると、すっかり気分は金曜日で、今日はのんびり仕事したいな~って気分です。(笑)Last night's end of the year party of my office ended quietly and earlier than I had expected. After the party, my colleagues and I went to a family restaurant. There we ordered desserts and all you can drink and had a little end of the year party of our own. We had a very good time and we were there for 2 and half hours. Having a party on a weekday makes me feel like it's already Friday today. So I want to take things easy today.

今日は職場の忘年会。最初は金曜日のはずだったけど、なぜか水曜日に変更されました。前回の同僚の送別会の飲み会で見てはいけない物をみてしまい(酔うと人格が変わる人達多数出現でもう唖然!)、それ以来ちょっと職場の飲み会は...引き気味。しかし、明日も仕事があるし今日は早く終わるだろう。そう期待しつつ...新たな伝説が生まれないことをひそかに望んでいます。Today is my office's the end of the year party. It was supposed to be on Friday but it was changed to Wednesday. Last time, when I went to my colleague's farewell party, I saw something I wasn't suppose to see.(There were many co-workers who change their personalities when they drink alcohols and it was pretty big surprise to me.) Since then, I don't really enjoy going to my office parties. But there's work tommorow,so maybe the party will end early. I hope it ends early and I secretly also hope that their will be no new legend made tonight,too.

元々朝は弱いけれど、それに寒さが加わりますます朝がなかなか起きれません。(涙)仕事に行きだした頃は6時台に起きていたけれど、今は7時台。しかも日に日に数分単位で起床時間が遅くなっている。そのうち、本当にぎりぎり間に合う時間も起きれなくなるんじゃないかと最近さすがに焦り気味!ますます寒くなるこれから、どうなる??私の起床時間?!I'm not a very good morning person at all, and on top of thatit's been very cold.This makes me very hard to get up in the morning.When I started working, I used to get up at 6AM, butnow I get up around 7 AM.And day by day, I wake up few minutes later than the day before.Nowadays, I worry about getting up in time ,so I'll make it to work.It'll be colder day by day.Will I be able to get up on time??

久々に本当に見たい!舞台のチケットを入手することができました。それは来年の4月半ばに都内である米国の黒人タップダンサー、Savion Gloverの舞台。私が初めて彼の舞台を見たのはまだ私が家族と共に米国に在住していた頃で、彼が「Tap Dance Kid」の子役で主演していた頃でした。数年前に久々にNYで彼の舞台を見る機会があり、観劇しました。その時に初めて鳥肌が立つくらい感動したという経験と彼のタップダンスにすっかり魅了されてしまいました。以来、私も渡米するチャンスもなく、彼が来日しないか、待ちわびていたのですがとうとう来日公演が決定し、チケットを入手することができました。席も舞台から9列目というとてもいい席。まだずいぶん先の話しなんですが、今からもう楽しみです。I've got tickets to a stage that I had wanted to see. It's tickets for American Black Tap dancer, Savion Glover's musical. I first saw him starring in a broadway musical "The Tap Dance Kid" as a child star, when I was living in the States with my family. Few years ago, I saw his musical in NY. I had experienced my first great excitement when I saw his musical. I was fascinated by his tap dance. But since then, I had no chance to visit the States. So I had been longing for Savion Glover to visit Japan to dance. Luckily, I was able to get tickets. It's the nineth row from the stage, which are very good seats,too.It's few months away, but I'm already looking forward to seeing from now.

今晩はすごくきれいな三日月出ています。帰り道、あんまりきれいな三日月なんで、空ばかり眺めながらチャリに乗っていたら、危うく事故るところでした。ちょっと怖かった。バンクーバーも今日は三日月かな??There's a beautiful crescent moon in the sky tonight.On my way home from work, because the crescent moon was so beautifulthat I was looking up at the sky as I rode my bike.But I almost had an accident and it was a bit scary.I wonder if a crescent moon will be seen in Vancouver, tonight, too.

昨日の昼食は、カナダ出張にでかける直前のhiroroのリクエストで回転寿司でした。実はhiroroは海沿いの街で育ったこともあり、大の魚好き!なので、もちろん寿司も大好き!でも、実は私は魚は大好きだけれど、寿司はあんまり好きではありません。その理由は酢飯。子供の頃から酢飯は好きではありませんでした。だから、回転寿司に行くとあんまり食べれない私。でも、食べれない理由はそれだけではありません。実は回転して次から次に回ってくる皿を見ているうちに実はすっかり気分的に食べた気持ちになっちゃって、お腹がいっぱいになってしまうんです。(苦笑)こんな調子だから、もちろん食べ放題やバイキングに行ってもぜんぜんもとが取れません。(涙)一度くらい元を取るくらい食べてみた~い!!Yesterday we went to Kaiten Sushi for lunch, because it was hiroro's request before he was off to Canada on his business trip. Because hiroro grew up in a town near the sea, he loves seafood! And ofcourse, he loves sushi,too. But me, I love seafood but I don't like sushi. I don't like sushi because of the vineagar rice. I didn't like vinegar rice, since I was a little girl. That's why when I go to Kaiten Sushi, I don't eat much. But that's not the only reason why. My stomache becomes full after watching the dishes slide by me one after another. I feel like I've eaten them all. Because of this, it's the same when I go to all that you can eat restaurants and buffets. I can't eat much because I 'm full before I even start eating. I would love to eat as much as I can for once before I get full!

hiroroが海外出張にでかけ、冬眠スタイルでボッーとこたつに入ってまったりしているとゆうパックが届きました。差出人は神戸に住む友達。誕生日でもなんでもないのになんだろう??わくわくしながら開けてみると...かわいいど派手なワンコ!ぬいぐるみかなって思ってたいたら、それはポーチだった。(笑)こういうおもろかわいい物が好きな私を思って送ってくれたらしい。それと靴下も入ってました。靴下は今年のクリスマスに飾る用らしい。○○の専属サンタさんにプレゼントを入れてもらいや~♪って一言!(笑)hiroroサンタが帰ってきたら、さっそく頼まなきゃね!(笑)Because hiroro has gone on his business trip abroad, I was sitting inour kotatsu and just relaxing.Then a package was delivered to me.It was a package from my friend, living in Kobe.It's not my birthday. I wondered why it came and I opened thepackage with a little excitement.When I opened it, I found a very bright colored doggy.I thought it was a stuffed doll at first, but it was a smallbag.She sent it because she knew I like silly and cute things.She also sent me a pair of socks,too.It's christmas socks to decorate for this coming christmas.She wrote, "Ask your Santa Claus to deliver you the present intothis socks."I have to ask Santa hiroro to deliver me some christmas presents when he comes back, huh!?

hiroroの航空会社のマイレージが韓国往復二人分相当がやっと貯まったらしい。使いきるにも期限があるらしく、それまでに使わないとマイレージが全部パァーになってしまうらしい。とりあえず今度のクリスマスの3連休にキャンセル待ちの予約を入れました。行きは取れるんだけど、帰りがキャンセル待ち状態。うまく飛行機が取れたら、年内に韓国にタダで遊びに行けるぞ~♪まだ確定じゃないけれど、行けるかもしれないと思うだけでちょっとワクワク~♪hiroro collected his airline mileage points just enough for two of us, for round trip tickets to Korea. There's a valid date for this mileage points and if one doesn't use it, then it will become 0 points again. So we decided to reserve our tickets on a waiting list for this coming 3 days Christmas holidays. We're able to reserve tickets for going abroad but we are on the waiting list for tickets for us to come home. If we can get our flight reservations, then we can visit Korea for free. Although it's not assured plan yet, just to think of the trip makes me excited.

昨夜、また地震がきた。来週はhiroroが海外出張で、私は一人お留守番。一人でいる時に大きな地震があったらちょっと怖いかも!?そんなことはないことを願うのみだね。Last night, there were another earthquakes. Next week, hiroro is going abroad on a business trip and I'm home alone. It' ll be a bit frightning if there's an big eathquake while I'm alone. Let's just hope there aren't any!

帰宅すると、珍しい人から郵便物が届いていました。送り主はhiroroの父方の伯父さん。この方は私達が結婚することが決まってからというもの、hiroroの家族についてやhiroroの親戚との付き合い方について私達が相談を持ちかけるたび、親切に教えてくれる、とても頼りになる伯父さんです。そんな伯父さんが珍しく郵便で送ってくれたもの。それは...JALの来年度の世界美女カレンダーでした。(笑)しかも手紙も何もなく、カレンダーだけ。世界の美女カレンダーもらっても...(苦笑)すでに家には美女がいるのに...(爆)←冗談です。スミマセン!!それを夕飯を食べに一時帰宅したhiroroに見せたら「研究室に持っていく~♪」と言って、さっき持って行っちゃいました。研究室は男所帯でとてもむさくるしいんで、ちょっとはみなさんのいい目の保養になるかしらねっ!?(笑)When I got home from work, there was a mail from unusal person.The sender was hiroro's uncle on his father's side.hiroro's uncle is a very kind and reliable man, who has given us many advices every time we consult him about hiroro's family and how to get along with hiroro's other relatives.And what did he send us??He sent us next year's JAL's world beauty calendar!There were no letter in it, just this calendar.What are we going to do with it??We already have a beauty in the house! ← I'm sorry! Just kidding!!When hiroro came home just to eat his dinner, I showed him whathis uncle had sent us.Just a while ago, hiroro said, "I'm going to bring it to my lab"and he bought it to his lab.His lab is just a room full of guys and it's filled witha dull atmosphere.Maybe it'll be a cheerful recreation for everyone's eyes!?

昨日、ネットでこんなほのぼのした記事を読みました。(http://dailynews.yahoo.co.jp/fc/entertainment/animals_and_pets/)「米国からフランスへ密航した猫、ビジネスクラスで帰国」という記事。アメリカの自宅を脱走した子猫のエミリーちゃん、貨物配送センターに迷い込んで、そのまま貨物と一緒にフランスに行ってしまった。行方不明から1ヵ月後、フランスの包装会社の従業員が発見!幸い、ネームタッグがついていてエミリーちゃんの飼い主がわかり、連絡。コンチネンタル航空がビジネスシートをエミリーちゃんに用意して、帰国することになったというお話。子猫のためにビジネスシートを提供するなんて...さすが、海外の航空会社は太っ腹!(笑)しかし、結局誰が最終的には支払いをするんだろう??Yesterday I read a heart warming news on the internet.It was an article about (http://dailynews.yahoo.co.jp/fc/entertainment/animals_and_pets/)「A kitten flew to France from U.S., back to U.S. on Business class」It's about a kitten named Emily who accidently ran away from home.She got herself lost at a cargo center and she flew to France with other cargos. After a month since she got lost, a employee working at a cargo company found Emily. Luckily she had her name tag on and it was easy to find Emily's owner. The Continental Airlines got a business seat ready for Emily to go back to her family. To give a business seat ready for a kitten, wow! Foreign airlines is really nice! By the way, who is going to pay for this??

2ヶ月に1回の割合で代わる代わる我が家にやってくる新聞勧誘。毎回はっきり断っているにも関わらず、昨夜もまたやってきました。だいたいもうすぐ転勤で異動するかも知れないんでというとあっさり帰ってくれるのだが、最近は本当にしつこい!引越しする日まででいいから入ってくれとしつこくインターホン越しに勧誘される。しかし、私もそんなことに付き合ってる暇もないんで、適当にインターホンを切って放置。ほんとしつこい新聞勧誘はイヤだ!About once every 2 months, a newspaper man comes to our house to ask us to buy the newspaper. I tell him no need. But no matter how many times I tell him, he came again last night. I usually tell him there's no need for newspapers at our home because we might be moving due to our business transfer. When I say so, he usually leaves. But recently, it's really annoying! He asks me to buy the newspaper until the day we move and he talks over our interphones. But since I'm too busy to tell him off, I just hang up the interphone. I really hate anooying newspaper man!

昨夜の夕飯直後にhiroroは睡魔に襲われて夢の中へ。実は前日の夜、研究で徹夜明けでした。昨日の朝も私が出勤する直前に帰宅し、一眠りしてからまた出かけたそうです。一人寝てるhiroroを横目に私は家事を片付け、一息つくためにこたつに入りました。しばらくすると、hiroroが起きてきた。「どうしたの??疲れてるんやったら寝とき」と言うと、「奥様が恋しくなった」との一言。仕方ないので、「一緒に寝てあげるからちゃんと疲れを取りな」というと、なんともうれしいそうな声で「うん。それがいい。」全然眠くはなかったんですが、とりあえず寝かすためにつかの間の添い寝。しかし、ほんと無邪気というか!?大きな子供というか!?(苦笑)起きたら、また職場に行かなきゃいけないと言っていたので、寝たところを見計らって脱出。その代わりに熱いコーヒーを作っておいてあげました。奥様が恋しいと言われなくなったら終わりなんで、そういう風に甘えてきたら、なるべく甘えさせてあげようとは思っています。その代わり、厳しい時は厳しい鬼嫁ですがね。(笑)hiroroいわく、「時々鬼ババァと思うけど、やっぱり奥様でよかった。」と思うそうです。そう思われてるうちは大丈夫ね!?Last night, after dinner, hiroro fell asleep. The night before, he was up all night working on his research. Yesterday morning, he came home right before I was going out to work. He said he went to work after a few hours of sleep. While hiroro was sleeping, I was finishing my housework. When I was through with it, I sat down in our kotatsu for a break. After a while, hiroro woke up and came to the living room. I asked him, "Why are you awake?? If you're tired out, you must sleep well." Then he replied, "But I missed you." So I told him, "Then I'll stay right next to you while you sleep. How is that??" "That sounds good!", he said happily. Although I wasn't sleepy at all, I stayed by him while he fell asleep. God, he is so innocent!? and he is a big boy!? He told me he had to go back to his lab when he woke up. So as soon as I saw him fall asleep, I got out of our bed and made him some fresh coffee. I guess it'll be the end of us, if hiroro stops saying "I miss you". So when he needs to relax, I try to let him relax as much as possible. But ofcourse when I have to be strict, I'm really strict like "Oniyome(meaning "Demon's wife" in Japanese) hiroro thinks, ”Sometimes you're just a bitch, but overall, I 'm thankful that I married you." As long as he feels this way, I think we're alright!?
