TRAVEL DAY! I have been waiting for a travel day forever it feels like. I am so happy and excited to be on the road even if it means the frustration of an airport and traveling. Yeah, I am a pretty twisted guy. Luckily my flight isn't until 9:30 so I didn't have to get up at 1 in the morning for this. Plus this trip is only a couple of days and I will be back home Tuesday afternoon. This is a quick but needed trip.

Yesterday I got up, talked with my buddy about watching the cats when we both go away soon, then waited for B to get up. Who by the way was still awake when I woke up this morning. Sheesh. We headed out for the soap making class around 9. Class started at 10am was in a senior center not too far from us.

We both were a little disappointed in the class to be honest. We were happy with the material taught, but not the layout or way the class works. I expected us to each have our own individual station with choice of ingredients. Nope. It was a 'group' class where basically we watched the instructor make soap, with her choice of things. We got to stir and slice one time each but that was it. The knowledge we took away from the class was acceptable, but for the price we paid ($45 each) we were both pretty pissed off we walked away with one small bar each. We did decide we would try this at home and I was able to order all the ingredients (many of which will last for a long time) to make another 10 bars (basically the amount of students in the class) for $80. 10 bars for $80. Not 2 for $90. I would never take another class like this again. We also took it hoping to get out of the house and meet people but nope. The people in the class were not like us at all. One hipster couple who want to live cheap and green, two gluten free annoying housewives, an asian woman who spoke little english, and a hispanic gentleman who also spoke little english. Sigh.

Once done with soap, we headed home, got on the train, and met my sister downtown. That was fun. She got lost because her husband is a douche and stayed home. Long story. Regardless, she's awesome, he's a butthole. We hung out with her for a while, had some food truck food, ice cream, I took her and B to the world's tiniest park, and we headed on back home. She was SUPPOSED TO TEXT ME to let me know she made it home safely. (I know she reads this on occasion and that message was for her). Got back home, and B took a nap.

I headed to the comic book store. My final issue of Fight Club 2 arrived yesterday (AND WE MADE SOAP! Right?!?!) and I wanted to pick up the variant cover. Got back, B wanted cheesesteaks for dinner and we headed back out. Was kind of nice. We watched a movie and I went to bed around 10:30.

Busy Saturday actually. And now time to fly like an eagle...
