CERTIFIED, BABY!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's over!

Yesterday was CA-RAZY! We had a super class in the morning about teaching Yoga to kids, which was very helpful and insightful. Then I went to the mall with a few girls for lunch and had my first experience with Beard Papa's creme puffs.... Thank GOD I discovered these at the end of my trip, because they are almost worth staying in San Francisco and becoming very fat for. SO DELICIOUS!!! In the afternoon we had a little gathering to say whatever we wanted to say to the group, which turned into a big tear fest. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, there was much hugging and laughing and tears. What a wonderful group of people :) And then? Ahhhh, our certificates! So beautiful!

Then we all put out our mats for Friday Happy Hour... a horrifying 90 poses in 90 minutes Yoga class. Yikes. Needless to say, I faked my way through about 30 of those poses (haha) because really... no.... just no.

After that we went to hang out on the patio of an apartment of one of the trainees. We ate and froze and then decided to go back to the studio to finish our party. Mark Twain wasn't kidding when he said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." IT'S COLD HERE! Upon returning to the studio there was much wine and good music and a few of us started dancing. I even managed to have a few Salsa tracks thrown in there. The director of the studio arrived, bringing with him some marijuana... yikes... so I stayed in the dancing area rather than the blue-aired lobby... ugh, that stuff smells so vile! I said to some people "I never expected THAT!" and they said "really? I did." I guess that's San Francisco for you. Sometimes it's like living on a different planet.

I've gotten to know some really wonderful people and have learned so much! I'm glad I did it and I have to admit that I'm really proud of myself. YAY ME!!! Heehee.

Tomorrow is Disneyland, which I am over the MOON about! SO so so so SO excited! I won't be able to post for a few days, but when I get back, absolutely.

I love you and miss you all!
