weekend at the art fair

This weekend was the Lakeview East Art Fair and my parents came to visit.  The art fair was less than a block away so we definitely spent some significant time there.  


There were so many awesomely unique artists!  David Mayhew, James Allen French, just to name a few.
maybe i'll even get something pretty from the festival for christmas/my bday ;)


The main stage was even on my block.  Basically all day Sunday, after my parents left, i watched different bands.  It was lovely!  Paper Thick Walls, Cole Degenova & the People's Republic, and a teensy bit of Dance Floor Plans


with my parent's in town we checked out several restaurants.  some were like better than others.  the flower flat, wilde, ann sather's (of course), yoshi's cafe (japanese, by the way).  at yoshi's i ate out of a pumpkin.  yes, seriously.  i'd never eaten a pumpkin before.  it was quite filling.


mom embraced her photography skills during the weekend and took lots and lots of photos.  (mainly of me alone)  She's working on a project.  
i broke the rule for this one & pulled dado in for a picture.  (probs the best picture of them all... i look awkward alone)

before mom told dad to slow down so she could just get me
oh what a fun weekend.  thanks for visiting mom and dad!

p.s. i would like to have this weekend's weather everyday all year.  please!!!!

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
