im back!

i am finally back! and i must say, it is nice to have internet again. that is right, i have been without it for nearly a month. it actually was not too difficult and ended up being a nice little break. except the fact that i am now super behind in reading everyones blogs and in watching tv shows. but now i can begin to catch up!

also, i just finished moving! i love my new place. i know a year ago i claimed i would never in a million years move to the city, but the day came, and i now live in the city! i am excited about the new possibilities but will also miss a lot of things that i love about norman. however, rush hour traffic both ways every single day will not be missed. i am still in need of a kitchen table and a sewing table and hope to find them soon. we will see! i will post pictures once i get everything set up.

well, here is some more stuff from the past month! i dont want this post to get too long so i will begin with one of my loves.

april 20-25 was the week of one of my favorite things, the festival of the arts! every year i try to make my way to the myriad gardens at least twice during the week to pig out on the amazing food. yes, eating is really the only reason i enjoy going. i also like laying/sitting in the grass but i consider that to be a part of the eating experience.

cristina and i made our way down there on opening day for a late lunch/dessert after class. it was a hard decision, but we settled on the banana nutella crepe. and i must say, it was delicious! i had forgotten how much i loved nutella crepes and having this lovely taste has rekindled the fire. now i just need to learn how to make a crepe successfully and i will be good to go!

for some reason people seem to love these strange dog in martini glass paintings. they are there every year and everyone seems to love trying to find the splitting image of their own lovely pup. this year they were a bit short on the selection so cristina was unable to find one of gus and champ, her two cute wienie dog babys.

the following thursday, brad and i were up in the city searching for a home and i convinced him that it was necessary to eat lunch at the festival because i didnt get to eat all of the food i wanted to when i went with cristina. i was not wrong. i had a garlic chicken burrito and it was amazing!!!! exactly what i needed to eat. brad got a chipotle beef burrito. he looks like he doesnt enjoy it, but really he loved it. he loved it so much that when he finished eating, the great oklahoma wind blew his plate away causing beans and tomatoes to fly everywhere! luckily no one was in its direct path.

i absolutely could not leave with out eating my favorite, the chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick. yum! i love it sooo very much. i eat one every year and i am never disappointed!

since i will still be in the midst of rotations next april, i am hoping that i will be able to find some time to go and enjoy this special treat outside of lunchtime when its festival time again.

love.
