Holy Crap fall already!

Sorry for the VERY long delay. Unfortunately I have been soo busy and so lazy (which contradicts it’s self) that I did not get to wrapping up the summer blog on the first day of fall (which was last week)

This summer of mine has been very chock full of good-ness and bad-ness. First for the good:

• Temp job that has lasted more than 3 month’s
• I sold more art
• Increased work out at the gym
• Many MANY hikes in the woods
• Watching the bbc
• Finding my love in Driving range practice
• My parents visiting
• Getting to see the Smashing Pumpkins twise
• Going to toronto
• And finally getting back in to Chinese Brush painting class

The bad:

• Not seeing my family as much
• Still worried as all hell about my weight

Well, at least the good weighs out the bad. I did have a good summer though. I really do love hiking and driving range practice. My most favorite ting was the going to Toronto. I mean what’s not to love about Toronto. There’s always something to do! Adam and I went from the 14^th to the 17^th.

On the Friday we got there we unloaded our stuff. The hotel room was great! I loved the design and the room had a great view of the surrounding area. WE then went out for dinner to a Japanese noodle house. Mmm was soo soo good. I had seafood noodle and water. Then shortly after we decided to explore out area. Very busy I must say and a hell of a lot of Asian restraints. Also, I must add that in our hotel room rental we also got use of a mini gym and swimming pool. Needless to say I used both! A lot. *coughs*

Next day we got up and went to have breakfast in the mall connected to out hotel. I had a fruit cup and vanilla/cherry almond coffee. Very testy. We then explored. We walked trough very possibly the biggest Cemetery in York Toronto. Was beautiful and for me very peaceful. We then left on the sub way for the Chum City building (home of much music) I loved all the shops and things to look at. We visited a hemp shop, costume shop and Bubble Tea shop. After all that we had dinner at a very formal Japanese restraint near out hotel. The food was very delicious. From the restraint we left again on the sub way for the Virgin Music festival. We didn’t go to see any one in particular. We just wanted to get a feel for the place.

The Sunday we got up and then had dinner in the mall again. I can’t remember what I had though. We left for China Town (by Subway again). Looked trough all the little shops. I bought some manga and a silk Chinese jacket. We spent about 3 hours walking around there. We had dinner in the shopping area across the street from our hotel. We had regular food. I had veggie lessanga and some chocolate ice cream. Mmm very tasty. Soon there after we were on our way to the concert to see the smashing pumpkins WOOT! They were AWESOME. A very good stage show and very good set of music. Also at the festival I bought a couple hemp suckers (Mmmm ) and an ankle bracelet (which fits me perfectly!).

On Friday morning we left back for Pittsburgh. All in all I had a great trip and I hope you enjoy the very few pics that I took (sorry guys)

So, this is my last entry for the summer of 2007! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Mid Summer update!

Sorry for the long pause between posts. I've been lazy/busy. Working has made me kind of lazy for everything else I am supposed to be working on. I will start by updating you all on what I have been up to this past week. On Monday I have my BMI done (Body Mass Indicator) So, of course my weight has crept up a pound or two. But the confusing thing was that my jean/waist size has gone down by about 2 sizes or 3 1/2 inches. One of the personal trainers at the gym did my bmi and we found that my body fat had gone from 27.4% (over an year ago) to 24.8% body fat. I'm very happy about it. Happy to know that all the gym and weight training has been doing some good.

This past Wednesday I went out with a couple of friends to an (little expensive) Japanese restraint. We had a lot of fun. I really do love kiku. It's one of the better sushi spots in Pittsburgh. When we were shopping in the mall later that night I bought 3 knee highs for about $15.00. I love my news socks.. soo cute. On Thursday Adam and I went out to Idle Wild amusement park. I had a good time. Lots of fun rides :D

Today I went to Boot Camp at the gym. It's always a hard work out but a good work out. Later this afternoon we went swimming at one of the State parks. It was a good time. I love swimming. Tonight I'm not sure what I will be doing yet. Maybe go for a little walk, maybe visit friends.. who knows.

This upcoming week I plan on doing some cleaning, going to the gym as usual. I'll also be getting my hair cut and nails redone.
Because the following weekend I will be going to Canada to visit my family and friends. There is going to be a surprise party for one of my relatives. While at home I will also be goign to the beach to tan and swim. I haven't swim in Lake Huron for over a year. I am looking forward to it. In a week or so I will update everyone on my visit home.

One final piece of news... Adam bought tickets to see the smashing pumpkins (my most fav band ever) in Pittsburgh in October. I am so excited! I get to see them twice.

Final Note... There's a couple new piece's of clothing I think I will purchase in a couple weeks One and Two Let me know what you all think.

I have been pretty busy. The boot camp today was great. I feel that I have gotten a good work out and I am sure that tomorrow I will feel the same. I might even bring my mom with me to the gym. She might like using the tread mills or possibly the stationary bike. I will see. Besides all the busyness there is nothing new. I will need to pick up a new bathing suit eventually though. If anyone has any ideas let me know :)

Canada Day AND Summer 2007

Here is the beggining of the summer entries for Summer 2007. I know it's a little late but I've been a mix of busy and lazy. My schedual this year has been.. work.. exercise... work... exercise... art work.
My gym routine has changed slightly. My original trainer has gotten a promotion. So, now I have a new one. She is pretty tough but a great trainer. I'm usually whipped when i get through my routine. Plus I have started doing a class on Saturday morning. It's been an mix of Boot camp and x-biking. My waist size has gone down from 33" to 29 1/2". My jean size has gone from 11 to 9. Yay :D
My art work has gotten more attention. Go to my DA account to see all the details. :) I need to update kellysasianart.com
I have worked at two places so far this year MSA (layed off a month ago) and CSE at which I am currently employed.
Now tomorrow is Canada Day! Even though I am living in the United States I still celebrate. I will probibly clean my house a little, dress in my canadian red and white clothing, grocery shopping and just relax (not in that exact order) I don't have much more going on. I thought I would add some Canadian music to the end of this first summer post. Enjoy!
