Ready for the week

Nothing incredibly blog-worthy has happened since my last post. Not that I ever really post about terribly exciting things, just my regular life. Anyway, I never ended up going to the afternoon Mysore, hopefully this week. I did go to the led class Friday morning and it was really great.

I taught my first yoga class on Friday night. It was alright, everyone was smiling at the end. It was a very gentle class and it was difficult to teach because most everyone was a beginner and I had to explain things very carefully. I'm teaching a power yoga class tomorrow night and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be teaching Mondays and Fridays until about mid-March when my friend, who is the regular teacher, comes back from holidays.

Had a nice lunch with Loranda and Orlando and his parents and the Closs' on Saturday followed by cake and some drinks at the Vazquez's for Orlando's birthday. Talked about a possible wedding in Hawaii and found out what everyone thought of that. Looks like it's going to happen! I think we'll probably go for 2 weeks. I can't wait. It will be great and I'm excited to help Loranda plan.

I really want to go to Hawaii sometime for a few weeks to visit all the yoga studios. I think I've mentioned this before. Luke is going away to Portland for 2 weeks in July - 1 week for a conference and 1 week for a juggling festival. I'm trying to decide if maybe I want to go on a solo holiday or if I should just stay home. I could take a couple Mondays and Fridays off and have some nice long weekends instead. We'll see.

Spent Saturday evening at Lando's and then met up with Loranda, Orlando and Diana, Orlando's sister, this morning for breakfast. We walked up to Sophie's and had some tasty food. I left the group afterwards and walked up and did some shopping. Here's what I got, just for the hell of it:

-6 mini tart cups
-2 bottles to fill will oil for cooking (I learned in my cooking class that you shouldn't cook with straight olive oil, instead, mix some other type of oil in, the chef uses sunflower oil)
- new shoes on sale for $25
-good quality olive oil from Capers (we learned how to choose a good oil in my class)
-goat cheese
-fontina and mozzarella cheese so I can make pizzettes this week like we made in my class
-sunflower oil
-carrot soup and mushroom broth
-veggies (salad mix, carrots, celery, fennel bulb, onion, garlic)
-tangerines and blood oranges and bananas
-chicken drumsticks
-2 tenderloin steaks that I think we'll bbq for dinner tomorrow night
-bread from Cobs (I always get a treat for Luke from Cobs - today it was a chocolate croissant and a custard scroll)

Wasn't that exciting?

I had to call Luke on my way home to come and help me because my arms got so tired I couldn't carry it all. :) Thanks Luke!

Came home and defrosted the chicken broth I made a while ago and cooked up a chicken stew with dumplings. Just watching tv and surfing the web now. Got the dishwasher on, kitchen's clean. I still have some laundry to fold and put away before going to bed but so far the week is off to a good start. Are you ready for Monday?
