High Five for Friday

Happy weekend!! My weekend will be busy with work, working all three of my jobs. Nanny tonight, tutor in the morning, nanny tomorrow night, Daniel Sunday morning. Dad pointed out that I'll be able to tell my future kids I used to work three jobs to get by. So enjoy relaxation time extra for me!

So I got into my "not much blog-worthy stuff has happened lately" thinking in the last couple weeks but I suppose it has.

1. One being an extremely impressive drag show. Finally. my first drag show, and it blew me away. They were some Beautiful queens. Not to mention there was a crime scene for a shooting right next door. Kinda crazy. After said drag show and discovering Nick's hidden talent for dancing, we chilled with stranger friends we met on our walk home in their high rise apartment with a ridic view of the beach, left my purse and all importants at their apartment, didn't realize til home and tired, and my most irrational option led to a trip to Home Depot the next day and running into ex boyfriend wet, ragged, and braless (after an actually enjoyable walk home in the rain with the baseball stud). That stud's team won the championship! Woop woop. And he's back in Indiana... So to maybe be continued.

2. I finally started this 30 day yoga challenge. I signed up 25 days ago... I started on Wednesday. I found that just leaving my yoga mat out and ready in my room is good motivation.

3. Pampered myself a little this week with a haircut and a massage. It was my first massage and it was lovely. I may have been the first person to ask my masseuse to turn down the heat on the table because "it was burning my nipples." I was surprised that no one else had that problem, but found they may have, but they would just say "it's too hot." I also may have fallen asleep near the end. (After I was on my back and the nips had recovered).

4. Finished my writing children's books class!! Woohoo. That's two online courses complete this year. Now I'm magically gonna be able to teach English as a second language and write children's books all day, right?

5. Practicing sketching. Having some fun with these little guys. I'm not as bad as I thought.

Linking up with Lauren for H54F!

Tivoli and Rugby

Adding another great week to the list for my time in Denmark. Last Tuesday, I went to an international gathering for students at DTU (Denmark Technical Institute) at the Cellar Bar. I met a couple cool people there from Belgium (Ruben), Canada, France, and Denmark and met back up with a couple of them on Friday night. We went to see one of their Spanish friends play a Latin set at a bar in the city. On our way there, we were a bit worried at how this place would be considering it was on the street well known for its... Services. But we got to the Luna Bar and it wound up being really fun. The band was actually excellent , and had everyone dancing. Ruben and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with. On Saturday, I went to Tivoli, the second oldest theme park, with the family and met Claus' parents and sister there. It's no wonder Tivoli inspired Walt Disney to do his own thing. It's a beautiful amusement par...

Hej fra Danmark!

So I've finally arrived in Denmark and all settled in already. It's awesome in every way so far; the parents are so friendly and cool, the kids are adorable, the weather is amazing (I'm the only one walking around in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, of course), the house is a beautiful, cozy home built around 1921, I just got done with a little explorative walk and the neighborhood/area is picturesque with flowers everywhere, adorable homes, and a lake nearby... It's just wonderful. Yesterday, after a little confusion about where to meet up, using a stranger's phone (as always), and wandering around a bit, Lotte and one of the kids picked me up from the airport greeting me with the sign shown below. We made it back to the house after a little detour (I guess Lotte gets distracted driving too!), and we had coffee. We had breads and cake they got from the bakery for me to try, and they were all delicious. ...

Crater Lake Birthday {Dylan's 40th}

Dylan has never been a big birthday celebration guy. This year when I asked him what he wanted to do, he said something like, "I don't know. Maybe get some nice dinner around town somewhere?" But I on the otherhand must celebrate birthdays. Especially Dylan's. This guy deserves a memorable celebration. So I insisted we go to Crater Lake and it was so worth it. What an incredible, jaw dropping, thought provoking place. The first night, we sat enjoying the bluest waters with the perfect lighting. We camped at Mazama where we were all set up with our new camping boiler thing to cook up our freeze dried camping meals, new headlamps, coffee plans... and then ate some hot chili and a meal at the campground lodge. haha We at least enjoyed out coffee at the tent the next morning. The next day was filled with three fantastic hikes to see the Watchman Lookout for epic views of this like 2000' deep, 7700 year old crater. Then we got a lovely wildflower loop and waterfall ...

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
