Yeah, it's been pretty warm here too, and muggy which I don't like. It hasn't been very sunny though and these gloomy days tend to make me tired. But I'm glad you're feeling better since having heat stroke. That happened to me once while I was marching in a parade; such a stupid idea to go to Texas when we had wool uniforms.
That's good that you're exercising. My metabolism is a little slow too and it makes me mad that some people don't have to work out at all. Oh well. I've started doing this weight/aerobic tape from the 80s or late 90s. I think it's a really good work out! Besides doing tapes I usually go running with my mom or sister. I don't like running by myself though because then I have almost no motivation haha.
So how has breaking the horse been going? I haven't been up to much this week besides starting a list of things for Japan. Japanese is going well but I wish I could start learning "How are you" or "Nice to meet you." Hopefully that will be coming soon.
Well, I hope you've had a good week. Any plans for the weekend? Talk to you later. (:

I´m fine thanks

Well, I'm glad the last week wasn't as hectic for you. Have you been able to lunge the horse yet? How is this week looking for you?
Today I became as close as I probably ever will to grooming a dog because my dad and I gave my dog a bath. He was shedding like crazy but it was worth it because he smells so nice now! We've never had to get his fur trimmed though but I brushed him out before bathing him. My dad said he looked like a drowned rat which was true but he behaved very nicely for us!
Yesterday I went to a Swedish Midsommer Festival and helped girls make flower head wreaths. I'm not as into crafts as I used to be, but it was still fun. Afterward my friend and I tried to find Swedish beer but nobody was selling any. I got some ice cream instead which was very refreshing.
I've heard of Ayumi Hamasaki before but have never listened to her songs until now. I was able to find her on the American itunes store and I do like some of her songs! I don't like the club/dance songs as much, but there were a few like Dearest and Moments that had acoustic versions that sounded really pretty. I also like the song Wonderland. Angel's Song was good too but I couldn't find Butterfly.
Well I hope you had a nice weekend. How's the weather been there? Yesterday it was beautiful, but before that we were having very cloudy, gloomy days. It was nice to see the sun. Today it was cloudy again though and it rained a bit, which was alright because we needed it.
Talk to you later!

hi how are you?

I know, it would be nice if it would stop you when you've reached the word limit!
That's exciting that you're going to start planting soon! Some of the vegetables my dad planted in our garden have just started to sprout...I can't wait to eat them! It's one of my favorite things about summer.
Breaking a horse sounds exciting! I've never tried it but my grandpa had to break one of his horses. It still can't be ridden alone though unfortunately.
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom's cousin. I've had a similar experience, only it was with my cousin. She died last year and ever since then I wish I would have gotten to know her better. She was 7 years older than me, so it was hard to do things together because I was in school and she was married. I regret not spending more time with her, but I just need to learn from that and try to do more with my other cousins.
Man, you sure had a busy week. I hope this one is less hectic for you. I don't have much going on this week; this afternoon I have an interview at Burger King and then on Thursday I'm having lunch with my grandparents. Other than that, I'll just be cleaning the house and what not. And studying Japanese! It hasn't been too bad so far, but of course I've just been learning "boy" "girl" girl eating food" etc. I feel like I'll at least be able to learn some basic things in case I get lost.
I've heard of Garnet Crow but I've never listened to her stuff. I will now though! I have a lot of random J-Pop songs on my itunes and they're fun to listen to even though I don't understand the words!
Well like I said, I hope this week is less busy for you (but not for business). I have some dishes to wash then get ready for my interview. Bye for now.
Celia (:

Hi

Hello
Your message got cut off right after you said your dad was going to get a permit to have a sign. That's nice that you're getting a sign though!
Yes, it is nice to be done with school for a while. But I'm planning on practicing Japanese this summer. I bought the Rosetta Stone program for Japanese yesterday, but just the first part so I can learn the basics. I can't wait to start practicing!
I'm sorry about your friend, that's always hard. I often find myself thinking about high school too and wishing I would have been myself more instead of worrying about what other people thought. I was extremely shy around those who weren't my friends. College has definitely made me much more extroverted!
So you have a pet reptile? What kind? I don't think my mom would let me have a reptile in the house haha. I just have a dog.
Yesterday my sister and I watched this Japanese movie called Blood: The Last Vampire. Have you heard or seen it? It's a short movie and I can't decide if I like it or not. It was interesting that's for sure.
Not much else is new with me. I have to water our garden today but besides that I'm just going to hang out and practice some Japanese. Hope you've been well and I'll talk to you later!

i am good thanks, what are you doing today?

hi kelly, how are you?

Hey Kelly how are you? Im good, sorry I havent gotten to u, in a while. Been tied up with school and work. Hope everything is going good for, hope buisness continues to pick up for. Its raining and thundering here,been a while since its rained and thunder. We need it acutally.Its goiing to be like that all week. Makes it nice and cozy espcially at nite. Yes i hear u about the metabolism. Im the same way im like 20pounds over. Have dropped five. So im getting there. I dont like beign so small, I think its nasty espcially me beign big bone and 5'8. I cant see myself beign a size 3. I rather be a 9 or 10. It looks more nicer. I dont really worry about my weight well yes i do in a way but I eat what i like but make sure i burn it off. I go at least 3- 4days a week to the gym. I just fiure i go and get fit cos i dont want to end up like my dad with diabetes. he got his when he was my age. so i figure I prevent it. Im two sizes less now, so Im hoping i be a 12 by mid june. I never really had a big issue with the way i look, i always who ever loves me and likes me will like me for wha i am and not how I look. Cos looks fade away when we get older like in our 70's. Anway were u able to buy the Killers cd? Last cd i heard was nice one. Do u lke nickelback? I love that group. Have not gotten to their newset edition on their cd.
Anwyay have a good weekend, Any plans?
me do not know yet. Take care, im off to shower and bed. feeling a bit sleepy and its a nice weather to relax and listen to the rain and thunder,in bed. Weird aint it? later. Perla
