School shenanigans

Closing ceremony at one of my schools. That yellow haired pretty lady in pink? Yup, that's me! Too bad I didn't get a better pic =(











Xmas party at another school. We sang Jinglebells and danced to African music!



Hakuba

Last week I went to Tsugaike with Fredrik for some snowboarding (first time this season, yeay). The slopes were crazy, so much powder, and this in the piste! Am going again for 3 days over New Years, can't wait!

Here are some pics Fredrik took:

Basketball and snow

Had basketball practice with the teachers at one of my schools after work today. We didn't run much, we basically just practiced shooting and dribbling and things like that, but MAN, I'm tired! Those basketballs are heavy! I think I need to start doing pushups or something, these spaghetti arms are no use when playing basketball, I understand that now!

Another thing, guess what? We have a little snow here now! Not much, but some! The snowboarding season is so close I can taste it. Just wish it was here already! =)

My crazy cousin...

...is planning to run the Sahara marathon in February.

Normally, I would be on his case about him having lost his mind etc (I mean, running? A marathon? In the Sahara desert?), but since he has a heart of gold he is doing it to raise money for the children of Tamale, Ghana (to try to improve their situation in life) and how can I object to that?

He has started a campaign and a blog (which can be found here: http://running4change.bloggsida.se/english ) and if any of you - like me - want to contribute, please do! =)

Glöggen är så röd och varm i koppen, glöggen är så röd och varm i koppen, trallallalla lallallallalla lallallallalla LALLALLA!


For those of you who have no idea what the melody is, I'm sorry! I just can't seem to stop singing ^^

Xmas shopping online




For the Gaston, of course. He'll be the coolest kid in kindergarten!




National Lampoon's Christmas Holiday...

...made me happy I don't have a huge family xmas to look forward to, miss my dysfunctional, scattered and wonderful family, wish I would get a big xmas bonus and wonder how much time it would really take to get all those lights up!

Trying to get into the xmas spirit!

Went to the hyaku-en-shop (where everything is about 10kr) and got a bunch of xmas decorations today. Figured I might feel all xmassy and cosy if I surround myself with xmas. Have also decided to watch one episode of "Sunes jul" a day, a bit of nostalgia might help!
In addition to that, I have invited my friends over for Lucia on the 13th, and might even try to make some saffron buns. Freddan has sent a box of glögg, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will get here before Lucia. Nothing gets you into the xmas spirit as fast as glögg does!

"Jinglebells, bjällerklang!"
