After the 4th of July, I came to the sad conclusion that summer is more than halfway over for me. I report back to PDSD on the 29th of this month, but I'll probably go back the Thursday before to look over my room and get a few things set up. But enough about that. :)
So here's some updates:
Work
Sylvan is going well. I'm working about 1/2 of the hours that I worked last summer. It's averages to be about 6-9 hours a week. I guess tutoring is a luxury that gets bumped when gas keeps going up. It is nice to work for a few hours then relax the rest of the day. I also love the summers because I don't work on Saturdays!!! During the school year, Saturday would be the day I would get the most hours from Sylvan, so I would feel like I have a very short weekend. It's nice to have a full weekend now.
Cooking Class
I LOVE IT!!!! I can't say much more about it. I wish I had taken more advantage when I was living at home and learned from my mother (who's a terrific cook). I've made a vegetable soup that was easier than making mac and cheese. I've made a Shepard's pie that was tasty with Mexican spices and chilies. And I've learned to freeze and reheat the left overs so I have like my own frozen microwave dinners already in my freezer.
Another bonus - I've lost 20 pounds since the end of May!!! I guess I never learned until now how much damage I was doing by being lazy and going through the drive thru on the way home from work. Now, I just by pass Panda Express (my normal spot) because I know I have food ready in the freezer. I Love it!!!!!!
Arizona Heat
Well, it's been a pretty hot summer. But the monsoon storms have started so it has cooled us down. I think that today is the first day that the height temp is supposed to be under 100 degrees!! Yeah! Anything is bearable with AC and lots of water!!!
I guess that's it. More later......
