Not the end, Just a new beginning...
Bittersweet. That is my mood right now. My dear bestie Shannon is on her way to a new life in Michigan tomorrow. She met a boy. She is packing up her stuff and moving to what I call, "Bermuda Triangle Michigan". Believe it or not this is not the first time a dear friend has been sucked into the vortex of the state of peninsulas. (Hi Rach!) There must be something about those Michigan boys. I am very happy for Shannon. She has found a good guy and I think she will be very happy on her journey. But holy crap I will miss that girl. I have known Shannon aka Tweaker since the 4th grade. They could write a book about all our adventures. We were crazy then, even crazier now!
I hate goodbyes, so Shannon this one is for you. I love you girl!

Please pay me to eat!
This weekend I went with my cousin Kelly on our second annual "Go to Willmar and Go to an Art Fair, And have dinner with Aunt Lori and then get together with Kelly's High School friends" weekend. (although this weekend we added on, Get tires changed and listen to Kyle teach us about music, but I don't know if that will be a tradition or not?)
It was fun and I bought another piece of pottery for my collection from the amazing and talented Emily Schollett.
But the question I had to ask on the road trip was:
If you were paid to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I had to think about it, but i think I decided that it would be Toaster Strudels. You know those pastries from Pillsbury with the gooey filling and the super sugary icing you drizzle over the top?
Those are amazing. I do not buy them. I never have. I know that if i had a box in the house I would eat them ALL in one sitting!!!
I'm sure there are other things i would love to get paid to eat, like Gummy Bears and Pad Thai. But I really want someone to pay me to eat Toaster Strudels. Then I wouldn't feel guilty because I could say, "It's my job, I HAVE to eat them!"

(he's weird)
Last night I went with Kelly and Kyle to see probably the funniest comedian ever, Jim Gaffigan. I seriously have never laughed so hard for an hour strait. I love his quirky weird commenting voice and the way he can take everyday activities and make fun of them.
My favorite bit he does is Hot Pockets. He did it last night and I was in tears!
Here is a video of him doing Hot Pockets.

September One
September One.
End of Summer.
All the teachers came back to work yesterday. I am no longer alone. No more solitude, no more watching movies all day long, no more sanity.
But in return I got back, all my friends, lots of laugh, and treats. Yes, treats. Yesterday I received:
iced chai tea latte,
a bag of goodies and
Joe Mauer on stick. It's complicated, but amazing.
It's nice to have everyone back. Yay for awesome co-workers!

Get in the Belly!
This past week was a week of REALLY GOOD FOOD!!!
I just got done reading, My Life in France by Julia Child... So right now I'm a little obsessed with food.
I went out to Senor Wong in St. Paul and had delightful morsels of Pollo al Pastor, Duck Bun Bao and Sweet Potato Fries.
The Duck Bun Bao reminded me of the Peking Duck I had while spending my summer in China 7 years ago. So very tasty!
Then the next night I went to my new favorite Thai restaurant, Sen Yai Sen Lek and OF COURSE I ordered the Pad Thai! My one and only love of my gastric life.
I am a self proclaimed Pad Thai snob. I love love love it... and I have found another place to indulge in my passion!
The following night i went to the MN State Fair. Pretty much the only reason I go is to... EAT!
This is going to sound like little Miss Piggy-ish but here is a list of all the things I ate:
Corn Dog
Mini-Doughnuts
Cheese Curds
Buffalo Jerky
French Fries in a (h)UGE cup
Chocolate Covered Bacon! aka CHACON, dubbed by Kristina P.
I didn't have the belly room or fortitude to eat my other favorite things... corn on the cob, Sweet Martha's cookies, GIANT turkey drumstick. next time.
My good\healthy\organic\often boring eating habits will resume this week. Wii Fit hates me and I have to make amends.
But it's good to indulge every now and again.

breathe the air, drink the drink,
taste the fruit, and resign yourself
to the influences of each.
