Since it's Christmas eve here is a terrible picture of our tree.  We weren't planning to be here for Christmas so I didn't worry about it much but now plans have changed.  We are going to try and visit my family the first weekend of January as long as there isn't a snow storm like last year. There are two plus sides to this.  1. I don't have to rush for the presents. 2. We can visit Mitsuwa since it will be open. I would like to go to HMart too but I don't think that will happen.

I have been working on the scarf and it's almost done.  I have to do the long black borders and that is going to be a bit of a slog.  I realize I was doing something wrong.  The pattern said to slip a stitch with yarn in front and I have been doing it with the yarn in back.  I'm sure it will be fine it's just a bit of a disappointment.  I'm going to finish the scarf then go back and do the charity knitting I missed.  I got the patch for my brother-in-laws hat but I haven't put it on yet since there is no rush.  The people I bought it from seemed helpful but a little slow about returning e-mails.  I understand that since they may have other jobs.  My problem though is the patch came without instructions.  I can figure it out but I thought I'd ask. I asked what heat/time they would recommend.  The e-mail I got said, "I use high heat." That was the extent of the message and to me that seems a bit unprofessional.  They could have added a little to that.  Oh well I have the patch so that's all that matters.  I really need to do that so I can mail it right after Christmas.

For K-drama I actually finished Blade Man (It's actually Iron Man but that is weird in English).  It's wasn't a bad drama but it wasn't the best.  I could have skipped it and been just fine.  It's about a spoiled, rich guy who owns a video game company.  He has some serious anger issues.  A while back his girlfriend (who his father didn't like) went missing and he has been searching for her ever since.  He has some other issues that he blacks out and doesn't remember. Our heroin is a poor game developer who is trying her best to help every one around her. I think this is part of why the show was just "meh" for me.  She isn't a "bad" leading lady but I really like my girls with a little more spunk and back bone. She isn't wimpy but she is so nice and helpful to others I just want her to do something without waiting for others.  My favorite character is secretary Ko.  He is just so much fun and his facial expressions are so funny.  I do like that Hong Bin (the bratty rich guy) does seem to grow and mature.  There was a part where I got weepy but in general it get me emotionally as some others I have watched this year.  The show is ridiculous and it knows it, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't say it's a bad drama but it's wouldn't be one of my first recommendations.

My daughter really wanted to watch High School- Love On and I'm glad she pressured me into it because I only watched one episode and I like it more than Blade Man so far,  I'm catching up on Running Man.  I just watched the latest episode with Woo Bin in it.  He has really grown up since the last time he was on.  It was a fun episode.  I still have one more, the Christmas episode. I'll finish up k-drama today and maybe I'll play WOW tomorrow.

One of our neighbor's gave up some banana bread and it was still warm.  I wasn't expecting it so I didn't have anything for her but I want the kids and I to make some cookies today or tomorrow and then we can give her some.  I'm planing to go take our December picture now.  That's about it.  I'll write again after Christmas. Have a good one.
