we had a rather large houseguest this week: Action Jackson, 1/2 pit bull & 1/2 boxer. sweetest, most docile, greatest dog. taking him out on walks was a great way to break up my work week. my practicum is really coming to a head, and the next few weeks are going to be a big push. i met with the new program director a few days ago, which was a really exciting opportunity for me to be able to share my insights into the program and the work i'm doing. i'm hoping i'll be mostly done before i get home!

let's see, what else is new... i got a gnarly flat tire this week, which is a rite of passage for anyone driving these crazy NOLA streets. i finally was able to take advantage of my AAA membership, thanks to Aunt A!

i've also been spending lots of time with my lulu coworkers, mostly workouts and coffee dates. that's been really great. i tried out something called "Dirty South yoga" this week, it was yoga with a little bounce / hip-hop mixed in. super fun, different, and definitely out of my comfort zone! i'm also starting to plan the store's run club, which is my baby and will be launching the week after Labor Day. i've got lots of ideas for it, and i'm excited to own it!
