So today Kaia, Naomi and I went to the farmer's market this morning. I have never managed to be awake and energized enough to make it before, and I'm really happy we went. It's beautiful outside, and I picked up a lot of fresh and healthy produce. One of my goals this year is to eat more vegetables, cook with healthier things, etc. Maybe these Saturday trips will be a good start at reaching that goal.





I picked up this little guy at the market, I'm really excited! He's supposed to be a little spicier than jalapenos, with a distinctive citrus taste. I think he deserves a good name, so any suggestions would be appreciated :) He's got a new home in my kitchen window with my cacti and I hope he'll be very happy.




I suppose I should take a moment and mention cattle calls. I've been avoiding it, because it's been the one thing out of everyone's mouth this past week (well, at least for singers). I had a good time with my piece, and think I did a pretty good job. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for anything at all, but realize that there's a lot of talent out there, and just doing my best should be my goal. Congrats to everyone that's made it through another year of IU auditions (opera, orchestra, band, chorus, etc.) and good luck to all who have yet to audition. I'm sure I'll post up any news I may hear about my friends or myself, but for now, let's just be happy I got some good produce at the farmer's market! :)

I've been thinking about trying to host an every 2 weeks movie night here. Thanks to netflix and a new living room arrangement, I think I could manage having a few people over every week or two, and it would be fun to keep up the socializing, as it's another one of my goals this year. I realize that I am quite intimidated by being surrounded by so many singers all the time, and am going to try to work at being more social in that circle. We're just such a loud bunch, and I completely pull back into my shell when there are too many of us around. So, more fresh produce, and more parties. Two good goals, don't you think? Haha.

Well, I'm off to do some reading and relaxing on this fine Saturday. I have errands to do, but maybe they can wait until tomorrow. I'm going to listen to cattle calls this afternoon, and then chill out. Have a great day, everyone. More later this weekend.
