New Year Blizzard or Snowday Bento

We’re on, what, day two(? Day three?) of the worst blizzard the Midwestern United States has seen in years and years. We’re snowed the hell in, I mean that exactly like I said it, too. We don’t even have a drive way anymore. The snow plows have been bravely soldiering on almost non stop to keep the roads clear, the wind is still going at nine billion miles per hour. It’s a mess, and with no real emergency crews to speak of in this town, someone’s bound to get really hurt.

But we should be on the last legs of this thing, though I’m sure it’ll get worse before it gets better. In one day we’re supposed to go from negative numbers and jump 30 degrees into the positive, but that’s not until tomorrow. What to do until then?

Well there’s work, work and more work. Oh, and did I mention work? I have so much stuff to do I’m about to blow my tiny, fragile top. And on top of all of that I’ve got to finish designs on 3 official music artists websites (two paid, one not) and I have no idea how I’ll fit it all into my schedule.

On the bright side tomorrow should be the first day of the year of the rabbit, much luck and prosperity to everyone in the new year! Laota and I couldn’t wait for new year bento so we made new years eve bento, lol. I only have one tier photographed (I already ate the one with the bunny rice — my bad!), but it’s cute anyway!

It’s wasabi tuna salad stuffed in onirgiri and that’s not furikake, it’s bacon bits – yes this is a fat bento, lol. The brown bits around the outside are peanut butter stuffed pretzle bites. The top tier had more rice with egg and bonito furikai and a cheese bunny to celebrate the year of the tiger becoming the year of the rabbit (yay!), and tomato salad mixed with the extra tuna salad to fill it up. Heart bento. Will have a better one with better pics on Hanamachi Lights tomorrow (I hope, lol).
