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 14th to the 17th.

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.
