A little Love and A little Frustration

Salut!

Sorry for being a little M.I.A for the past few days but I had some things I had to do and to think about and my mood was a bit down, but now I am back.

Yesterday was an interesting day I got a lot of "adult stuff" done..hehe...I mean like all kinds of paper work stuff around the house and yes of course I went to hot yoga. I can't live without it anymore. Damn you Nat, you got me addicted to hot yoga! I just LOVE how great you feel after you finish and you have a shower....

Complete Relaxation and you feel like you are walking on air!

I had a look at the weather forecast and lucky me it's only going to rain till Saturday....that's the next 5 days! I guess I get some good use out of my Burberry wellingtons finally.

I have not decided what I am going to do today yet except for yoga and groceries then we will see where the day takes me. It would be nice if it stopped raining so I could walk around down town and see if I can find "that" jacket I want.

I LOVE this photo which I actually took right here in Montreal. It's a statue that says Love...when I saw it I was going to take it home with me but then I didn't find a way to transport it, at least I've got this photo.

On a completely other note, what is up with the TERRIBLE customer service in Montreal? Wow, people are just messed up...they think they are up on some kind of high horse but reality check, YOU'RE NOT!

I read this one message this morning and I thought to myself... "people are so freaking fake" in this city! They are nice to your face but after that they don't care. I think that if you say, you are going to do something you should do it otherwise don't say it. Am I not right? Especially after you have messed up in the past.

Anyways, there are lots of great people here in the city to, but you know how it is....it's always the ones you don't like that get to you the most. To all my great "Monty people" LOVE ya!

I kind of feel like cooking dinner tonight, not just for me but maybe for some friends. I am going to go now and find out what every ones dinner plans are for tonight. I'll be back a little later.

Bisous! Bisous!

What to do What to do

eehhh....what's up?

Just got of the phone with my mommy (miss her lots), we talked about lots of fun things like always.

It's raining outside again, I feel like this weather girl Laurie Graham (i think that's her name), you know the blond one that works for CTV, like she is always wrong with her weather forecasts. I thought it was not supposed to rain today? I mean giving the wrong weather forecast really "messes" with peoples weekend plans...grrr....

Ok, ok, maybe it's not Lauries fault but it feels better if you can blame it on someone. Right?

I'm not sure what to do today now that the weather is ICKY. I am debating weather I should stay home and watch a bunch of reality TV-shows? It's kind of nice to have a lazy, at home Sunday. I don't usually watch reality shows but this could be a perfect timing to catch up on them and as everyone seems to be watching them and I'll finally be able to join the conversations about.....

"OMG, she can't dance at all" and "I think this girl should be Americas next top model"....lol...NOT!

Or I can......

Be a trooper, get dressed, make my friends get ready and head over to Picnik Elecro, to dance and listen to Josh Wink. This is "most def" a much more challenging option than staying home.

However, I have the gear for it, my "wellies", my raincoat, some leggings and a jumper and I even have a rain-hat and an umbrella. This should keep me dry while dancing and singing in the rain...right? Anyways, even if we do get a little wet it's just water after all and I am not gonna melt...lol

What to do...what to do..? What do you think I should do?

Yikes....need to decide sooner than later....

Zumba - Montreal

Morning!!!

How are you? I am very excited today because.....

For the past year me and six of my girlfriends have been going to Hip Hop classes once a week. It has been really fun and a great work out. This fall we wanted yet again register for Hip Hop classes but to our disappointment the level we were going into was completely booked. We were so sad that we were not going to be able to shake our "booty's" together anymore....

However, my AWESOME friend Katja found a solution to our "booty shakin"! We are going to start Zumba!!!

After doing a little research I personally think that this will be even more fun than Hip Hop classes. Good job Katja!

For those of you who don't know what type of dance/exercise this is, no worries I will explain.

Zumba combines Latin and international rhythms with easy to follow moves to create a dynamic fitness that will blow you away. The goal is to get a great work out, LOVE your workout and to get hooked on Zumba so that you keep coming back. This does not sound to hard, eh? (Oh my god I said eh!!!) I am already so excited!

Zumba creates long term benefits while you have a blast doing it and it gets even better girls! You are doing all this while burning lots & lots of calories and energizing your entire body. Can't get much better than this.

Zumba is like a big "fitness party" and who does not like to party? Talk about making fitness fun! So all you girls who don't know how to keep the workout going through fall and winter....You are Welcome, I just found you the solution...Zumba!

If you are still not convinced that Zumba will be a great workout and lots of fun you can come to the "Zumba Open House" on September 11th & 18th from 13.00 to 15.00 (free master Zumba class 13.30 to 14.30).

Maybe I'll See You There & We will shake our "booty's" together!!! Let the "booty shakin" unite! : P
