One of the things we will miss.....


Whole Foods.

Because of my husbands love of farming, supporting the local economy, and just good food in general, we have made one of our favorite dates a common visit to the local Whole Foods. It is just a brief walk down the street, which makes it even more appealing, and they have fresh food made in a buffet style set up so we can pick and choose what we want to try.

We don't often buy our weekly groceries there, it's a little expensive, but we do like to treat ourselves every once and a while. Last night we decided to get ingredients for meals that only require 4 items per dish, from this really cool cook book we have. These are very luxurious dishes, rich in flavor.

I don't know if mushrooms were in one of our recipes, but just the mass variety of different types and the enormity of their cost, sparked our interest. Side note, Whole Foods lets you try anything you want. They will open anything and let you taste test it. Awesome. This made for some fun times at the amazing cheese counter when it was time to pick our Brie. Back to mushrooms. So, Chris decided to ask if we could sample the most expensive mushrooms. To our amazement, they gave us a handful to take home and cook, to experience the real flavor they have to offer. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?!!? THAT'S LITERALLY $30.00 WORTH OF RARE MUSHROOMS!!!

Man, we are really going to miss Whole Foods.

Linear Algebra

It doesn't seem that exciting, I'm sure, but I've really begun to study Linear Algebra. And by "really begun to study" I mean that I'm working through every problem in a Linear Algebra text book. Yesterday I did it for six hours. Yes, six. Is that sick? I'm a little surprised that I haven't begun to dream in matrices.
Anyway, I'm hitting the vectors so hard for two reasons. For one, because I'll need to understand this stuff pretty well in the Fall. I've been offered a fellowship, which I've taken, to do a Ph.D. in Economics at OU starting in August. Did I mention I haven't had a high level math course in seven years? Hence my frantic preparation.
Reason number two, our first child should be coming along about a month before finals. I don't want anything to take me away from that experience so I'm trying to get technical stuff done ahead of time. And also I don't want to fail my classes.
