My Trek up the Mountain for Babies :)

Our intentions for this weekend were to go shopping for things for the apartment. I was going to attempt to live a "dorm style" life but it is so depressing and empty in the apartment. Well the shopping trip ended with only a mat to sleep on. Lots of teachers will be leaving in August, so hopefully we will be able to buy some of their stuff to fill our penthouse ;) I did find the most amazing bright fuschia chair and there was also a zebra print one, but Travis didn't approve :(

On Sunday, I put on my baby mt climbing shoes and headed for my baby mountain. It was very relaxing just me, Colbie Calait, Jack Johnson, Brett Dennen, Third Eye Blind, John Mayer, Elton John, and Pat Monahan even tagged along for a few minutes. I started by Atilla the Hun (just a joke Soulmate you will enjoy this except for the fact I am butchering the actual details of history) and climbed up, up, up, up and sweat dripped down, down, down, down. I ended up taking the wrong path, but found the Buddhist temples. ( I dont really know if this is correct terminology) It was really peaceful and serene, until Three Days Grace had to come along and ruin the moment!
Anyways, on my walk back home a little Korean girl, she was probably five or six, came out of a convenience store with her cheeks full of the cookie. She said "hi" and then in Korean offered me the cookie. She shoved her slobbery half chewed cookie in my face, all while talking with her mouth full. Sorry Korean girl with chocolate, but you have been voted out for the cutest Korean kid moment. Not all of you maybe aware, but I have a certain weakness. This weakness is for anything with wrinkles whether it be a chubby baby, child, wrinkly puppy, or my personal favorite an old wrinkly person! So this girl takes the cake or in her case a half chewed slobbery cookie, which I so graciously let her keep :)

Only one other post for today. During my walks to school, I often pass the same little boy. He is probably nine or ten. The first three times, I passed him, he covered his mouth with both hands and ran past me as quickly as his little legs would carry him. Well, lucky for him, my cooties shot is still working after all these years. I have passed him a few additional times in the last two weeks, and he no longer holds his breath and runs. I really feel like our relationship has moved to the next level, and next time I pass him I am going to............say hello! I know its radical, but I must try :)
