Sugary and Bright

Ice cream is the most glorious food in the world. Yes, you heard me, it's glorious. I get really excited about really random things and ice cream is one of them. The best kind is udderly cream with reeses and cookie dough. Can you tell I went to Maggie Moo's this weekend? It was the first time I'd  eaten there. Actually, there is one kind of ice cream that is better. The kind that is home made by my friends the Watsons. But that sadly is not as accessible as Maggie Moo's. Man I like ice cream!

But on to other things, the weather was also glorious this weekend. Warm and breezy. My whole goal for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was to stay outside, and I did. I am now done with all of my books. At one point, there was a little Jack Russell mix that decided to be my friend. She just walked over, jumped up into my lap, and sat down. Random. I couldn't bring myself to make her move. She was too cute.

I am now an officially certified ESL instructor. I spent 2 loooong Saturdays learning how to teach it, and saved my self a lot of time and money. Usually, ESL certification is a semester long college class.

This week I've been learning more about Indian culture. What to wear, how to greet people, some cultural mistakes to avoid, etc... Some of the information I already knew, but it's good to refresh my memory. I'm so excited for tailored clothes. Being super short makes it difficult to find pants that fit me. Also, I'm a huge fan of bright colors. I'm going to have to hold myself back, otherwise I'll end up in some sparkly rainbow outfit that makes me look like a five year old.  People already have trouble believing I'm a college grad and not a junior high student. No need to make the realization harder. :)
