forgot to take my apron off before leaving school today...
could get used to wearing one often...  it's nice to
be able to wipe your hands off on something
you are wearing:)
made some goat cheese beet pizza tonight - yum!
got into a slight argument today with someone
about someone else randomly killing a spider.
i remember reading something from  H.H. Dalai Lama 
about how the mother is the most important person
in your life and you should treat every sentient being as
though it was your mother... i couldn't really make
an argument for not killing a spider, but i did say some
silly things that didn't make sense... i just felt bad for the spider
that's all.

wish i could see him in person, will have to read
his books in the meantime...
maybe i will see him in india someday?
namaste,
j
