Pink! Pink! Pink!

And no I'm not talking about the Chieko Kawabe song.

I got the top half of my hair dyed fuchsia pink! The bottom half is chocolate brown. I think it looks awesome and my boss and her assistant love it too! They spent the day randomly walking up to me and playing with my hair. :) You just can't help but be happy when you are walking about with pink hair.

Though is it just me or is it hard to get a good web cam picture? I swear that webcams are more cruel then mirrors! Even in a small picture every single blemish is magnified by 100%! I'll just hide behind my pretty hair.

In other quite vain news, my gut has shrunk to the point that I can wear a t-shirt that doesn't quite cover my entire midriff without freaking out and pulling my shirt down. The little tiny bit of tummy you see when I wear this shirt is no longer bulging anymore. Yeah for bellydance! It's slowly vanquishing my "Buddha Belly"! Though I still get rolls when I sit down. :( But it's getting there, slowly but surely.

Belly Dance Mondays

Looks like Monday has officially become Belly Dance Class day. I loved my class. The teacher was super friendly and gave me lots of feedback, which I really need. One of the reasons I never went back to yoga class was the utter lack of any feed back. The studio was small, but nice. Clean and well decorated with a cute little change room. (it's too cold here to walk about in work out clothes)

She said she was confident that with time belly dance would help me lose what I call "The Buddha Belly". I really want to tone up my core, which is the last thing left of my post accident pudge. She also said it would help my posture (which is terrible!) and help me feel more graceful.

So now I'm on the "New Hobby Shopping Spree" And what shopping it is with all the pretty music and clothes. :) I bought a CD off of iTunes ($8 and change is a steal for a CD. I pay $7 - 8 for used CDs) and I ordered a pretty hip belt off of eBay. Shaggy thought it was really pretty too.

I'd like to get a full length mirror and a book soon, but I want to see if I can find dance move descriptions online. I really just need a refresher between classes and I'd really like to practice at home.

'Cause we all know, in anything, practice makes perfect. :)

North of Bombay

Went to a nice little Indian restaurant called North of Bombay. I loved the decor and mentally took notes for when we move. (My living room has an Indio-Asian theme) I got a nice little mushroom dish that was a little spicy for me, but with bread tasted yummy. I'll just have to portion in out for my sensitive stomach.

Shaggy, got a shrimp curry that judging by how quick he ate it, he liked a lot.

I'm all excited about Monday. I'm taking my first belly dancing class at the studio down the street. I'll tell you all how it goes.

This just seems to be my year of trying new things.
