Ah, it's finally like spring in Yellowknife. Today it's gorgeous outside. There are some scattered clouds in the sky, but they are high and don't hide the sun. It reached 13 degrees and will be sunny until after 11pm.
I went to the driving range this afternoon after a healthy brunch of steak and eggs. Yes, I ate steak. It turns out I like it :)
Now I'm at work, getting a little sun burnt from relaxing in the sun all afternoon and trying to decide when I'll buy my new BBQ. With the double time I'm getting today I can get something really nice :)
Happy nice weather everyone!

Haven't seen me for a while, eh?
It's been quite some time since I added to my blog and I'm at work and bored so I thought I'd pass along a little sampling of Kim's life.
What's new? hmmm...really, not much. I finally got my washer and dryer (that was prior to my trip to Vancouver). Oh, I went to Vancouver. It always seems like such a short visit, but I always manage to miss people. I had a great time and spent way too much time with my mother. I know that sounds bad, but you have to understand my mother. I also spent a lot of money on new clothes. That was fun.
The reason I spent all that money on new clothes is that I've lost over 20 lbs since January. I know this because that's when I bought my Wii Fit. Now I know you must be thinking that you should run out and buy one too, but that is not my reason for losing the weight. In fact, I only use it so it can tell me my BMI, weight, and Wii Fit age.
Of course I can hear you asking, "What's the secret?". Ok, I'll tell you. My secret involves sitting on the couch and aimlessly watching television while drinking beer. If I'd only known this sooner in life I'd be a size 2 by now. haha.
Honestly though, I think it has to do with my change in diet. I am not on a diet, but I've cut out (or at least cut back on) a lot of things. Like?? Chips, potatoes, pizza, desserts (stopped baking), pasta, most white flours and rice, cheese (simply reduced, not eliminated). I eat a lot of chicken, salmon, steamed broccoli and plenty of yams. Oh, I also reduced my meal sizes.
Now I'm back at work, enjoying 8 evening shifts in a row...yeah me! Of course these shifts include 3 at time and a half, 1 double overtime, and 1 day in lieu. The next 2-3 months look pretty much the same. Good thing because I'm saving up for a trip.
Speaking of which, anyone want to go on a trip with me at the end of August. I booked my flight to Edmonton already and now I haven't the faintest clue where to go. Suggestions are welcome. If you know anyone wanting a travel companion and looking to go somewhere interesting let me know.
Oh, I've started reading again and am working my way towards 20 books this year. I just finished 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. Good book about life in Afghanistan told through the eyes of 2 women.
So, that's about it for me. See, not much to share, but I'm still enjoying life up north. I wish the lakes would thaw and the temperatures would average above freezing, but that's all wishful thinking at this point.
