It's been awhile!

It's been awhile since I wrote on here! I am back in the swing of things at school and I have little break time this semester! Which is actually a good thing because the school day is going by faster and I actually feel like I am working instead of just sitting all day! :-) Today is the first day of my 10 day juicing cleanse! I am feeling good, but is only 10 am! Ha! I have been reading a lot about healthy living and cleansing is a big part of maintenance in a healthy lifestyle. So I am challenging myself to a 10 day juice cleanse. I am also in my 3rd week of my half marathon training! I am feeling good I had a good 6 mile run on saturday! It was encouraging. I am so glad it is wednesday and I have finished the big part of my week. I am teaching 14 hours at my first school and so that usually means easier days on thursday and friday at my second school. Also, when I was at school last week they told me every friday there will be club activities during 5 &6 periods. Which means no matter what I will have off those classes! :-) Last week I only taught one class on friday! It made for a very great end to the week!  Now I finally have a break! I can finish typing this post!

Let's see....News..... I am starting to sell my cupcakes at a bakery in Busan. My friend Jo and I made a tasting menu for Cafe Hau in Busan. They are actually looking to sell vegan items on their menus and so I tweeked a few recipes to make them vegan friendly! I made double chocolate cupcakes with 4 different flavors of vegan frosting. I am also going to make the pumpkin spice muffins or cupcakes if we decide to put some frosting on top. ;-) They really liked the baked goods and so Sunday morning we are going to Busan to teach them how to make these items in their kitchen. I am so excited about this! I can't wait! I am hoping this will further my hopes in opening a bakery in Korea.

I have to go buy some cleaning supplies in a few minutes because I have a girl coming to clean my house this afternoon! I couldn't be more excited about it. She is charging me 30,000 won ($30) for 3 hours of work. She will even do my laundry! I think that is a pretty sweet deal! :-) I also could use someone to really scrub my apartment about twice a month. I think I could spare 60,000 won for a sparkling house and help with my laundry. Also, I am hoping after today she can come during the day so I can come home to a clean apartment and clean laundry! That would be a dream!

It looks like the rain has cleared up a bit and hopefully it will be clear by the time I leave school! I have a 4 mile run today I am going to do while she is cleaning. I am then going to go to the jjimjilbang (public shower) and get a scrub to relax so that I am not in her way! ;-)

I had a volleyball tournament this last weekend. It was really fun to hang out with volleyball people again! I had not seen them in a long time and I got to meet Joonhan's (the pe teacher) niece! Mingyeong! She was so precious! :-) Even though her and I couldnt really talk to each other we had a wonderful time playing with the ipad and she colored some pictures for her uncle! It was really sweet! I know I say this all the time but I really love how involved families are in Korea. It is just so wonderful! Makes me really happy! :-) OK I have to get my cleaning supplies and then finish up some lessons for next week so I am prepared come Monday! I miss everyone at home and hope that everyone is well!
