- first trip of the summer to my gramma's pool. Thanks, Gram!
- several loaves of bread made in the breadmaker my gramma gave me.
- one weird pan of ice cream.
- seven invitations to air-conditioned houses. Thanks, friends!
- another awesome trip to the river. Raspberry Island was the destination this week (Harriet Island's less popular sister). Amphitheater= dance stage.
- one kiddie pool blown up and ready for more 100 degree days… Or not.
- a cute hairbow ready for production.
- pancakes for breakfast with some delicious peaches on the side.
- a million questions answered in preparation for our studio's Showcase and the big local competition, Twin Cities Open.
- two days of teaching that flew by. Good job, students!
- my first Book Club experience! You might remember the book I was reading in anticipation for being accepted into, what I can only imagine is, a very exclusive group. Not that I'm socially awkward (*nervous laughter*…), but I don't meet a lot of people outside my job and nerd-out when I'm out of my comfort zone. I was a bit apprehensive meeting a bunch of new ladies, but everyone was way cool and I think I only stuck my foot in my mouth once. Okay, maybe twice, but it was a good time. I think I'm still in the Club. Time will tell...
- walk down Grand Avenue with a trip to My Sister's Closet. Mae Cake brought the money.
Besides actually driving down Grand Avenue on the weekend, the street is a good time. Many good places to eat and shop. I finally ventured into MSC, as mentioned above, after hearing about it from friends for years. Tons of great second-hand clothes at amazing prices and a great vintage section. I found an Anthropologie hat with the tags still on for $10, and it turned out to be 30% off! $50 hat for $7? Okay.
- super congrats to my bestie on her second place finish at a ballroom competition this weekend. She also has a cute new dress.
