preparing for 설날*!~

I've been making 반찬 all day...but foolishly left my camera at home, so have no pictures of the process...aii

But I did manage to go for a decent walk yesterday during my break...no longer -0 degrees CHYEA*!~

My body is already desiring greater outdoor activities..winter you better hustle up....

 Before I leave this place, I'm going to walk down this whole thing...

  After work I rambled over to a Lotte department store to grab jazz for 설날...whoa, this place was packed...I got rammed into by at least a dozen carts...bruises to prove


in line for chesnuts (photo taken by VeganBeats)

     I lost track of time (again) when I got home and ended up doing who knows what...it rolled around 5am and I knew I had a busy day planned...설날 반찬 prepping...

I left my camera at home so I wasn't able to capture any of the WHOLE DAY process or family laughs...but when I got home I snapped some shots of the noms we prepared today*!~

 After about 8 hours of prepping...time to rest and relax....
Tomm will also be packed...lots of family tasks, games...and more food prepping...

I fear this diet of mine and fasting intentions just took a vacation from existence....>_<*
