Well, the first surprise of
Well, the first surprise of the World Cup happened. I am crossing my fingers for the French, but i loved how the Senegalis celebrated their first (and only) goal. It was very cute. And they did deserve their win this time... i wonder how the french will take this defeat... we'll see.
What i don't understand is why EVERYONE keeps talking about how Zidane's absence may put the French so far back, etc, etc. Well, in my opinion, if the team's whole performance hangs on one person's presence or non-presence, they should go back and train a few months more. Like, come on, this is a TEAM sport. Plus, the world cup... the French team - and the journalists above all - should just put this Zidane worship behind them, and concentrate on playing in a team. With or without Zidane.

I can't move... yesterday was
I can't move... yesterday was the first day of my new life. I went to the gym after slacking off again for one year exactly. What forced me to go to the gym? Bikini season again. For the very first time in my life, i put on weight and i am uncomfortable with it. Plus, i should get in shape anyway. There is this gym that i went to for two months two years ago, then after about 10 months of slacking, twice last May. So this is my third try. :)
I went to the same class, it's a low impact gym class with small weights, and the girl who teaches it is cool, so i like it. But for my body it was a torture. It's pain pain pain in every single muscle of my body today, but i don't really mind. Of course it's uncomfortable, but at least i can feel i did something. I am on the path to fitness and a normal body. (With normal i no way mean the "perfect" bodies found in magazines... i mean normal for me, that means that i feel good in my body and i know that i worked for it. And it *can* include a little tummy... IMHO.)
The goal is weight training class twice a week and swimming twice a week. Plus less sweets and less eating. I eat a LOT. I always snack and i am a chocoholic and i *love* food. This is why i won't diet, just eat a bit more mindfully. So that i don't work for nothing in the gym. Wish me luck!

About the future of this
About the future of this blog
When i started this blog i had no idea what i would do with it in the future. The title says it all... I started it because i got familiar with blogging and thought it would be cool to try it and see what i can come up with and where it will go. The past few weeks i was debating in my mind about closing it down or making it a specialised blog about some subject i care about, or what to do with it. I really didn't feel like my little experiment turned out good enough to be kept in its current form for too long.
And today i got an email. I asked the people at nervousness.org to tell me about journaling and how i can get my two 7 and 8 year old nieces who are spending the summer with us (they live in Canada) into journaling for life this summer. One of them wrote: "oh, and your web-site's terrific - i feel a bit like i'm preaching to a choir with this about journaling, as you've a terrific journal already going on, and obviously into the whole concept of DIY, which is how I approach the journal concept...".
Then i remembered. There were a few more people i showed this journal to, that thought it was a cool website. So maybe i put my own expectations for this journal too high. (Hint: if you like what you see on this site, email me and tell me so! :) ) This last email today made me decide not to close it down and to put more effort into it. To make it live again. And to explore what else i can add to this and not what else i can do instead of this. Thanks Vikki for opening my eyes! :)

Two more exams down. 6 more to go. (I passed one subject with my class work so one exam i don't have to take.) Oh, and the 6 includes the resit of the one i was talking about in the last email... :)
