School started last Wednesday and my life feels like it's been moving nonstop since then. Even sleep is like in bed, then out of bed.
Some great things have happened though - I got many truly exceptional students back in my classes, which I was ecstatic about! I love many of them with all my heart, and can't wait to teach them this year!
Also, the first day of school, my parents sent me roses. They send them every year and I keep telling them that they don't need to but they do anyways (evidence that I am so lucky to have the parents that I have). Here are the beautiful yellow roses on my desk:
In my quest to stay sane, fit, & healthy this year, I decided to join Yogaworks in El Segundo. I. Love. It. And, they have a special teacher rate right now that gives me a $30 discount EVERY MONTH and no initiation fee! I've gone 4 times in the last 1.5 weeks... it's amazing how de-stressed, cheerful, healthy I feel after one of their classes. I'm definitely so excited to keep this up.
As Yogaworks is right next to Veggie Grill, I had to try it (thanks to Mya for the recommendation!). This is the All Hail Kale salad (to go) with Tempeh which was AWESOME! Who knew that veggie "meats" can actually taste BETTER than real meat? Holy cow!
Made another batch of baguettes this weekend... they're getting better and again, so nice to have taken the Artisan 1 class. When these get good, I'm going to email Safa to tell him about them.
Made a skirt with beautiful grey jersey fabric from NY Mood. I didn't have a pattern and did my best... I think it looks better in person :)
I visited Will for 2 days over the long weekend... best 2 days in the world, really.
View from the airplane as the sun set...
William is always so sweet to take me to my favorite shop, the Cheeseboard, for pizza and my favorite bread in town.
