majjy got a really cool offer that we're crossing our fingers for, and she had these fancy pictures taken for it. thought i'd share some of my favs.

so the school is going to work with me and i'm going to have a classroom for the month of september until i leave for china in october. the director of the school even offered me more afternoon hours, which i'm still crossing my fingers for. it's really up to admin. but it's the best of both worlds. save a little cash, still go on the trip. then they said i could sub when i got back if i wanted to.

buying plane tickets tomorrow! we're waiting til october 4th so i can still be here for the TX/OU game on the 2nd. and my lonely planet travel guide came in the mail today. getting excited.

i tried making zabaglione, italian custard, today. fail. it's just 4 egg yolks, 1/4 c sugar, 1/4 c marsala wine. it said 'whisk until doubled in volume and thick' so we thought we did that, and it was pretty tasty. but it was kind of foamy.. and then when i went to look at it an hour later, the wine had separated out of it. i think we just needed to keep whisking.

this is my very favorite. i think she looks like a ballerina. ..probably because i wore that top as part of a halloween costume one year.
