It's Friday!

Hi Everyone......it's Friday and I'm so excited it's the weekend!

Hmmm, what have I done this week???

Well, I've been attempting to get to the gym as much as possible.....between being in China and being in Chicago I've put on about 10 pounds......aarrrgghhhh. So need to peel it off again....if only I could peel it off!

Last weekend was reasonably quiet, but on Sunday I went to have a couple "quiet" drinks with Ryan, Sam and Pam at the Boathouse in Central Park. Ended up being there for like four hours and numerous very strong Long Island Ice Teas and Mojitos....needless to say, I was very merry....then suceeded in making many drunken phone calls, as per usual. Oh well, lots of fun and the weather has been amazing! Also, chatted to Phil a couple times....nice, cute and very excited about the whole thing!

This week has been fairly uneventful.....other than work and gym. Had dinner with Justus and Laurie at their apartment....had been about 8 months since I'd seen them so it was a really great catch up.....scary how quickly time flies! We had Jambalaya for dinner and then cherrys and strawberries with chocolate fondue for dessert....yummy!!

So today's Friday, at lunch I went out with Pam for sushi and it was great to catch up before she heads out on holiday. I think I be leaving work a little early as they're trying to identify a new deal for me. Head to the gymbo and then am going up to my friend kristines on the upper westside to watch the baseball, have takeout and some white wine spritzers (darling!)....maybe haru for dinner!

No big weekend plans....my friend Berit from work has invited me for Dim Sim tomorrow....so sounds like an adventure to china town.

Also think it's time for a good throw out of clothes and shoes I no longer wear......you know how it is...they just seem to accumulate!

Well, very boring I know.....but hope you're all well and shoot me an email to let me know what you're all up to!

Have great weekends

Love Kim

OK....so I've been a slacker!!

Hi People!

So I know I've been terrible......if it's any consolation I've been somewhat busy.

As mentioned in previous blog I got banished to work out in Chicago and ended up out there until the end of July.....could have been until December + so I'm totally not complaining. Lot's of early mornings, flights, hotels and working......so it's really really nice to be back in the city and settling into what resembles a somewhat normal life!

Hmmmmmm, what else have I been up to. A bunch of different things....in the weekends in July...ventured out for a BBQ to CT and saw a bunch of people I hadn't seen for just too long. Then the following week cousin Steve was in town for Friday night, had dinner out at Haru and a few drinks! Then when he disappeared on Saturday for a wedding in Princeton, NJ, I went to the burbs again and visited Ryan and Samantha....had a nice swim and a pina colada! lol Also, have hung out a bit with my friend Pam. She's got a new apartment on 77th with a deck that we can have BBQ's on....very jealous....but great to know!

The following weekend Steve was in the city again.....had a blast on Fri and Sat going to dinners and drinking and a couple live music places. Also, discovered the 79th street boat basin....drinkies (specifically frozen margarita's) alongside the hudson. Fun! Shame Steve can just move over here and be my permanent weekend pal!

Last weekend, although it was supposed to be quiet ended up reasonabley busy. Friday was the PwC promotion day celebrations....after a few too many cocktails at Cellar Bar....stumbled into bed around 9pm....I'm such a lightweight! The next day I ....hmmm, got a haircut and hung at home, then had dinner at an Italian place on the upper east to help Benny and Pam carbo load for the following days half marathon! On Sunday, a work mate Simon came around and helped (or should I say totally) hang up my blinds.......finally, after over a year, my neighbours don't have to see me wandering around my apartment.....all very exciting!!! Then went to the Yankees game....yay we won 8-5 over Kansas City....I know....but a win is a win!! Then some more margaritas before an early night!

So it's now Tuesday and I'm on a new deal....hopefully this will start to increase my levels of work motivation!!

Well my peep's keep cool till after school.
