I have now finished my first full week of Klondike Kates serving 5 days from Saturday to Wednesday. I have also taught my two Zumba classes and they were a success! 11 people at the first class and 15 at the second which is really great for a small and very busy town like Dawson. It felt really great to be teaching it again and I will be twice a week until the end of summer! It is also nice to be bringing in extra money besides just from the show. I've started a change jar of quarters, loonies and toonies and I've decided to not touch it until then end of season then use it to by fall and winter clothes. I have many a summer clothes as that was always when I was making money but barely any sweaters or pants. I had ordered a sweater and leggings from american apparell and now I'm done shopping for the summer.
The shows have been going well. People have been recognizing me at the casino from Kate's and vice versa. Eric, a very kooky guy that I work with at Kate's, said I'm like a little celebrity. Only to the old people. I had one couple see the show Saturday, come for Brunch Sunday, see the show Sunday and come for Lunch Monday. It was like a had another set of grandparents. Darryl and Jackie. Except they came in separate on the Monday as they had lost each other. No worries, the story ends well, they do find each other in the end.
Today is my first official full day off in awhile so I plan to get many a thing accomplished. Refresh my zumba classes, tidy room, bake and cook for the busy days ahead and end the day watching "Beaches" Yup, I rented Beaches.
Speaking of food, I recently made an avacado smoothie which I thought was quite yummy. More like a milk shake if you ask me. It takes half an avacado, tbsp and a half of sugar (that's lots I know but I used sucanat which is natural sugar and a bit better for you) 1 and a half cups of milk (soy for me) and a tsp of lime juice. Very rich but lovely.
I am also happy to say that I might have a gang of saskatonians up here. 4 people by the name of Holly, Pat, Graeme and Evan came over to say hi between shows as they heard that I was from Saskatoon and all of them came up from toon town for the summer. They all went to bowman and when I asked what year they graduated I found out that they were all about 5 years younger then me. To make myself sound even more like a granny I said we should all get together for saskatoon berry pie. So lame. Hope it happens though.
Ok, time to go be productive! Signing off!
