| So if you ever make it to DSM eat at Flying Mango. Trust Me. |
Let me just tell you folks-- Flying Mango in Des Moines is amazing. Really amazing. Chase treated me to dinner last night at one of my favorite restaurants in Iowa. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, goat cheese mashed potatoes, and their AMAZING cornbread. If you don't know my eating habits very well (and who does except maybe my Mom and maybe Emily?) you should know that I don't like eating pork or pretty much any meat except chicken... and bacon. Oh and ground hamburger. I used to be a pescatarian - which mean I only ate fish - and slowly missed Chik-Fil-A too much! Anyway. I have digressed. Flying Mango's food is amazing. They make their own BBQ sauce and whew I could mix it with mud and it would still taste amazing. I am really looking forward to my left-overs for lunch!

Yesterday was my parents' 31 anniversary. How wonderful is that? When Chase and I called them to wish them congrats they were on their way to the Little Dipper in Wilmington to celebrate at 70's night. That makes a bit more sense when you consider that Little Dipper is a fondue restaurant that our family loves! I love that they are headed out for Fondue. What cool parents. In honor of them we simply had to celebrate... see above ;)
This time next week Chase will be taking his last day of the bar exam. Whew - he has worked so hard, and is so motivated. I am right now with him at the Drake Law Library and he's working away while I listen to Studio 360 and blog. I'll eventually get to work but for now I am just relaxing. I need more coffee... just saying.
Not much more to talk about. Like I said yesterday I'm getting used to the idea of having to go home... but not liking it! I really want to have this chapter done by the time I leave town. Which is totally possible. Then I'll just be waiting on clearance to do my interviews for chapter three. August 20 comes upon me fast... but I am confident.
The biggest distractions I have suffered from lately are home decorating websites (especially ones with do-it-yourself-tutorials) and Etsy's jewelery. I am hunting for the perfect things... and then trying to figure out how to get them fo'cheap. I just stumbled upon this photograph (here) and really love this dining room. This blue green color is going to be all throughout our house. Its so calming and fabulous. The article talks about how your "supposed" to not paint eating-rooms in blue but how that is very silly. I love it. I am excited to nest. I think I might have said that before ;)

This episode of Studio 360 is doing an interview with Laura Cantrell about her album Kitty Wells' Dresses. Really great. Apparently Kitty Wells wrote "racy" country songs during the 1950's. She's awesome. I really like the album and I think I might buy it. I like the ollllld country music that tells fabulously sad stories. I think it links back to my love for Appalachian Folk Music. Here is the specific link to the interview. Give it a chance.
Apparently Mac released a new operating system today. Its called Lion.. I don't know if I should get it... will my fellow Mac Geeks/Cult Members fill me in on the scoop? My favorite organizing program Evernote told me I'd need the update to get all of the best Evernote stuff. Is it worth the 30 bucks?
