That’s what Kaia screamed into the phone when I called her on the way home from the college. I had a total blast teaching at AB Tech. on Tuesday night! There were ~60 people there to learn about Ginger, Saw Palmetto, and Valerian! I never thought I would be teaching, much less to this number of people! I was nervous all day, but when I got there, I felt cool, calm, and collected (maybe it was all the valerian in my tea 🙂 ) There were men and women from 20 to 80 years old. They asked lots questioned, seemed genuinely interested, and they laughed at all my jokes! I made this kick-ass power point presentation too! And here’s the best part: I actually got paid well!! That’s almost unheard of for an herbalist 🙂 When the coordinator said, “do you think this is fair compensation?” I had to completely contain myself so I could get out “yes, that seems fair” before hanging up the phone and dancing around the room! WOW! Now, I know that money isn’t everything, but it sure is nice to be compensated for all the work I have done!

Our chickens are still laying up a storm! 4 to 5 eggs a day from 6 chickens. The funny thing is that we always get equal amounts of blue to brown eggs… we have 2 blue layers and 4 brown layers! Hmmm…

House stuff is going well. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have lights in the house!! I’ve even felt a little like cooking again (I lost all interest in cooking when we moved into the little house with the 4×2 kitchen). Toby should have all the block laid today. Then the foundation process starts (gravel, plumbing, laying radiant floor tubes, pouring the concrete, etc…) Very Exciting!
