Winter Break 2010-11

Day one, Dec 18th: massive cleaning of kitchen begins, and continues until I leave.

Day 5, Dec 22nd: I visted my high school with Kathleen and Kristy. Seeing the art department teachers was nice, most of the rest of it could have been skipped.

Esther came to visit on Eloosha's birthday.
Ice skating at Frog Pond, burritos at Felipe's, coffee at the Black Seed.

a bit of dancing and running around and snowball fights :)

Dec 23rd-28th: Sunday River.

I got a fever and then there was a massive blizzard (the one that caused the Sugarloaf lift to malfunction), so I only skied for two days. The usual, conversations, singing to the guitar and eating cup-o'-noodles, ensued.

Day 12, Dec 29th: Sasha and Misha come to visit.
Felipe's, Black Swan.













On the 30th Sima ate oatmeal, as usual.
The next day I went to the mall with Yulka to get New Years presents and made baklava. Then gave Sima and haircut, which he agreed to on the condition that he can give me a hug.
He has been growing it out, claiming to want to be like Mama Koshka (cat). But then he wanted it buzzed like mine. So I cut some of it really short and made buzzing noises and told him it was a buzz cut.
That night, I fell asleep before desert was served. Granted, it was served after 1 am, but still, right there on the couch at the Sabinovichi.

















Day 18, Jan 4th: Today I taught Osya to knit.
and I will give him a haircut too.
that will make three, with Mama too.

tomorrow I leave.
