Secret Santa
Tomorrow is the Christmas party for my department at work.
Every year they do a Secret Santa gift exchange where we fill out a form with things we like so we can give each other gifts.
I kind of forgot about the party, so I scrambled to get a gift today. I wanted to do something special, so I ended up making this:

The coworker whose form I received said her hobby was fishing, so I made a fish out of construction paper!
Inside it are her real gifts: an ornament, some candy and a gift card.
This is more effort than I should do on a gift, it took me about 3 hours.
I hope it blows everyone away!

Cell Phone Photos
Finally took a moment to download some photos from my phone.
My phone doesn't take very good quality photos. Sorry.
These are mostly photos of flowers that I took while at work.

A New Charm!
There are a couple Japanese grocery stores in the city.
The other day we went to one called Minnano to look for konpeito.
They didn't have any konpeito, but I did find a cute turtle strap for my cellphone!

For two years I thought my cell phone didn't have a place to hold a cell phone strap,
but then I discovered it was hiding under the battery cover! I'm pretty happy now!

My Birthday
To make up for not having a picture to post tomorrow, here are photos from today. We went to the zoo!
