Ok, first off, it's spring!!! Did I mention the cherry blossoms? They are lovely. And fragrant. Mel and I were on the balcony the other day, wondering at the tiny, green buds. They seemingly came out of absolutely no where--all of a sudden, it's like, life appears. And pretty much after that, life is springing up all over and you can hardly keep up with it all...the daffodils, ferns, plum blossoms. It's quite jubilent, actually. The cats are having quite a go at it recently, too (kittens!).
So myself and a few teammates decided to go to the Arabian Restaurant for dinner last night. Expecting a nice, quiet Friday night dinner? Let's just say we got away with more than merely delicious falafel. We were chatting about the past week when, quite suddenly, the music got 5 notches louder and the lights dimmed. The thought ran through my head...could it be? Yes, belly dancing. Quite entertaining. And our first hookah experience. A notable night.
Today I ran my very first race ever--an 8 k (approx. 5 miles) that a local church was putting on. Though I wasn't nearly as prepared as I would have liked, I finished 4th (also known as second to last) and had a blast! I was just glad to not have killed myself on the cobbly stones we had to run on down by the river, and to get a free t-shirt. I recieved heaps of support from my friends (though they were late due to their taxi hitting a cat on the way to the race.)
new word: cheeky--thanks to British Andy, I've come to understand this word to mean "pleasantly conniving and/or wonderfully sneaky". Also thanks to Andy, I have discovered that Cadbury eggs taste just as good today as they did when I was a kid.
well I am off to do saturday things! some pics from the past few weeks...
