Festival Recap: DC Veg Fest

Hey guys!

Lots of recaps lately... I went to DC VegFest with my strict vegetarian pal Maumau the Vege and a few other friends recently. It was my first vegetarian event since becoming pescatarian in 2008! It was nice to be around other people who when you tell them you're pescatarian they don't make the stupid pescatarian/presbyterian joke (first time is funny, 13 or more times it's annoying).

There were so many awesome set ups and so much food! There were people serving coconut milk out of actual coconuts (like the guy had a machete and would hack them open for patrons).

I was able to restock on my new favorite Thai Chili sauce Apinya! I'm totally regretting not buying 2 bottles because my first is already half gone. :/ I don't buy condiments typically because of the ingredients but it's 100% vegetarian so no worries there~

Overall I had a really great time and plan on going next year since it was free!

Greenery

I spent this past Sunday at my best friend, Janine's place. We did a lot of decorating for Christmas and lot of lounging around the house. We started the day with a quick trip to Home Depot to grab a wreath and a few decorations.

They had so many cute baskets of decor I didn't know what to do! I really want something decorative for my home but I think I'll stick to the fake stuff since I have a terrible fear of bugs and don't really enjoy the smell of pine.

When we got back home I helped decorate the bottom half of the screen door to make it look like a present (and then I helped Janine eat her advent chocolate because I'm an awesome friend.)

And of course I helped (a little) with the tree!

My favorite ornament of theirs is this little violin with sheet music attached. I used to spend lots of Christmases with Janine and her family especially when my mom was out of the country. I would go with them to Midnight Mass and bring my presents over to open with them on Christmas Eve (Hooray for awesome German traditions!)

It made me feel really nostalgic.

5. A cool lampshade I got at Target

6. Fancy Pants wine also purchased at Target

I like to move it, move it!

This post is 1/2 advertisement 1/2 reminder to my friends to remind them that I'm moving and need help! I've been packing my things up until today and I think I'm pretty much ready! But you know there's always something that happens and makes you freak out at the last minute. Not looking forward to that part...

Anyway, I'm moving to be closer to my job! It really is a great gig and I hope to be there for a long time! If anyone  needs my cell#, new address, longitute lattitude, whatever! Now is a good time to ask!

Thanks to all the peeps who are helping me! There'll be pizza beer and tea/lemonade as refreshments at my new digs! I'll take lots of pics!
