A few highlights from the weekend! I am still on a high from teaching my class and my parents surprising me. You can read more about that here.

Thursday

• Getting a massage and having my sprained ankle worked. My ankle felt a lot better after that!
• Seeing my rock in the Starbucks drive through and giving the barista one. I hid a rock in the tip jar at this Starbucks on September 2nd and it’s still there, so I was telling her how I painted it and she said how everyone comments on it (which made me feel good!), and I offered her one of my cat rocks in the car and she was really excited about it. Yay!
• Seeing Lorena for a mani and doing a fun Halloween design.

Friday

• Having the day off.
• Breakfast sandwiches by Steven.
• Seeing Ned again. I was worried when we hadn’t seen him in a week!
• Getting ready for my painting class. That mostly involved priming a TON of paint pens.
• Watching Beetlejuice and the first episode of Squid Game (so many of the TV shows we like are coming back – Succession, You, Billions… exciting!)
• Getting some last minute rocks painted to donate to Sip & Purr.
• The cats sleeping with me because it got so cold. I love having the bedroom so cold when I sleep!

Saturday

• Going back to bed after getting up too early.
• Making brunch.
• Getting THE perfect parking spot at Sip & Purr to unload everything to teach.
• Mom and Dad surprising me by coming to my “Learn to Paint Rocks with Cats” class (read more here!).
• Teaching the class and the students loving it and creating beautiful art!
• Katy (Sip & Purr founder/owner) saying she’d love to have me teach another class.
• Visiting with my friend Cassie a bit after class (she came to the class).
• Having one-on-one time with my mom as we drove to El Famous.
• Dinner at El Famous with Steven and Mom and Dad. I am so glad Steven got to see them too!
• Putting away all of the stuff from class. Ha, that took at least an hour. I had to reorganize all the paint pens. I couldn’t go to bed with them unorganized!!!!

Sunday

• Seeing some classic cars before my run.
• Having a great run.
• Seeing Bobbi’s cats (I checked in on them a few times while she was out of town).
• Getting a commission order done.
• Catching up on a few chores.
• Pasta night.
