What a mean response! But good for you if it only makes you more determined

That's great that you are getting out with work friends... well done! I hope you're having fun

Ah, the eternal dilemna of "I want to exercise, but I don't have what I need" and then "I have what I need, but I don't feel like exercising anymore", followed by "I want to exercise again, but I'e somehow ruined my trainers/ sweatpants since last time so I don't have what I need"... I'm a great specialist of that never ending circle

hey! It's the week-end again! that went fast. I hope you had a good week. How are the groups going? Have you joined one yet?

I'm debating whether to join a gym... I like the idea of having a wide selection of dance/ aerocbics/ whatnot classes to choose from but I'm not sure its my kind of place and its incredibly expensive.

Have a great week-end!

Stop right there young lady! No slipping allowed ;-) I'll be expecting a full report on club activities on my desk, one week from now *tries to look stern*

I'm actually thinking of joining some kind of club/ activity as well, but can't settle on anything for the moment. Salsa would do me good, but I don't like the idea of going alone as opposed to all the couples who would be there...

Congrats on ticking off that huge, long standing item on your list! I'm sure that feels good

I certainly did, thank you I hope you'll get the chance to go as well someday!

Yup, slipping is SO much easier than keeping at it isn't it ? That club sounds great though! Is it a discussion group or more like a place where you can borrow books/ DVDs/ watch old films? You'll have to tell me how it goes.

Hey, well done for keeping your resolve! What have you been up to then? Discovered new fun stuff? Met new people?

My own resolutions have been kind of on hold these past two weeks, as I was away from my normal routine... though I guess 2 weeks in India would count towards the getting out more part I now need to get back on track... was doing good before I left.

Hiya Bookfiend!

Sorry for not accepting your friendship request earlier, I was away with no access to the forum. Thanks for thinking of me!

I hope all is well with you

Thanks Inver. I love yours, very sweet!

Oh yes, I saw that! Impressive challenge! Sounds fun

Nothing new on my end unfortunately. Work is good though.

Hiya Ben! Thanks for the message, I'm OK. What about you? I saw on the board that you were really sick I hope you are feeling better, though you really should let yourself enjoy the few relaxing days while you're at it. I'm sure you'll get caught up just fine once you're back in school!

Anything fun going on? Bowls perhaps?

*cracks up* Honestly, how many books with that exact same title have you read by now?? Ah well, good for you if it's made your day! Though I got super excited myself last week when I found out there are lots of conferences and 'open' classes on cross-cultural topics happening near where I live, so... *cracks up*

And yes, baby steps are a good way to proceed.

*kisses*

Yeah, and look how well that turned out! *cracks up* Just kidding! I'm... well I'm working, seeing friends, watching the latest movies (have you seen Le Petit Nicolas? I know, I know it's for kids... but it's also one of our cultural monuments... and great fun!), resurecting my blog, procrastinating my job search (a real, long term job just seems too scary *pouts*)... Just generally enjoying having everything right next door for a change.

oooh that does sound exciting, in ii land Was it part of any grand scheme to land your dream job, or just for the fun of talking hockey?

*kisses*

Hey! Thanks! It's good to have a sense of normalcy again, temporarily at least *laughs*

I'm good, fully settled in my new flat, which I love, and enjoying the real parisian life (as opposed to suburbs), which I'd vowed I would avoid like the plague *cracks up* Oh, and being free of any school assignement of course. That is a definit plus!

I have TBR books spilling from virtually every inch of my 16m2 flat at the moment, but I'll be sure to check Toews' other books at some point.

What about you? How's the internship and decorating going?

*kisses*

Sorry, we haven't uploaded any yet... Yes january is going to be something else! I can't wait to see what's in store for us (well, mostly my brother... he's the one who'll have to go round the fire and whatnot *evil grin*)

Glad to know Shenzhen was fun... Have a wonderful time in Thailand! Manhattan? That sounds interesting! have you lived there before? Are you looking forward to it?

Thanks Janet, it was a great day! I hope you had a great We as well!

BTW, I LOVE your new avatar... so pretty and colourful. It's really made me stop and look closely.

Wow, Shenzhen and Bangkok in two weeks... sounds amazing! You'll have to tell us all about it. After that it's back to the states, right? When will you be leaving?

We had the french reception 10 days ago, which was great But the true ceremonies will be in Calcutta in January.
