good day thursday

piñata.  it was an excellent day today.  here is why.  i woke up feeling pretty sleepy but i dreamt about the beach and that seemed like a good sign.  when i got to yoga there was a different instructor there for some reason and i was thinking hmm i wonder what this will be like.  but it was great.  we got out late and i thought, hmm i'm really going to have to rush to get to school and plan my morning lesson.  boom.  morning lesson cancelled.

with all the new free time i had i knew i had to make the best of it so i thought...and i thought...and i drank delicious coffee... and then it hit me.  PINATA.  then i thought hmm, i don't have any flour or any balloons.  then i realized, OH MY there's a bakery just down the street that also sells party things.  so off i went, sweaty from yoga, getting sweatier with each step, growing increasingly more excited about my idea until i reached the bakery.  when i got there i found raw cashews.  hooray number one in the bakery.  next, i looked up flour (tepung) and asked the lady and she gave me some.  hooray number two.  then i thought, hmm i need to find balloons but i don't know what that word is.  so i started miming blowing up a balloon.  i must have done it three or four times.  they just let me go on miming for a bit and then said, 'oh.  balloon?'  who knew.  hooray number three.  then i saw some box mix of flan and thought, hmm that will be perfect for a mexican dinner.  hooray number four.  i win.

papel picado.  i still had another hour left before i really had to get in the shower and go to work and the piñata was drying so i thought, hmm this dinner is really going to need some decorations.  PAPEL PICADO.  so i got to work cutting and punching as fast as my stubby little fingers could work with a pair of crappy kid scissors i stole from the school (shhh).  i didn't have much in the way of colored paper but then i thought, hmm maybe i can just color some notebook paper in green and yellow (i had some bluish/green graph paper and some peach colored paper already but it didn't seem colorful enough just the two of them).

okay, i know i'm talking way too much so just stop reading now.  or keep listening to my awesome day.  i went to school and the ice cream man was there so i bought an ice cream and didn't get any of it on my white shirt.  i had my really dull class first but i got them to laugh and that was great.  my second class was good as always and i was done for the day.  yes.  i went home and thought, hmm i have this s&b golden curry stuff i could use.  oh but it's so quiet in here so i will go into my npr app and maybe just maybe they will have a new radiolab program.  AND THEY DID.  but i couldn't get it to play because my internet was being funny but we can forget about that, i'll listen to it later.  so i made the curry.  and it was so good.  then i chatted with annie, nick and serena on the roof about things like skiing, whitney houston and cassava chips.  now i'm here.  okay i'm done.  bye!
