ramblings!

Hello all!!! It's been hectic here lately. Hoop classes have STARTED!!! Hooray!!! However, I am still not done at the restaurant so this week I have been doing all 3 jobs....so tiring. I love teaching though! My classes are really fun and there are a lot of enthusiastic learners!! Two more tomorrow, right after Lush and right before the restaurant.

We got a kiddie pool at Lush to do bubble bath demos outside. This excites me more than I can convey. I want to work at Lush forever!

The weather is getting WARMER and it's wonderful!!! Today I didn't need a jacket at all. Glorious. We are going to start surfing soon, the waves are getting near perfect!! We probably already would be if we had TIME.

Had a great Lush bath today. So White + Lil' Lush Pud = CHAI LATTE BATH! Very, very exciting. And I (and the house) smell so good!!

Hope everything is well in Wisconsin, all! I walked past a German Bratwurst stand the other day and got really homesick for like one minute. I miss real brats!! And yellow mustard (it's all stone ground here).

There's actually a lot I miss, but a lot of really awesome things to replace it.

The very moment I get home, probably in the airport, I shall acquire the largest Taco Bell meal I have ever eaten.
