i love jean fridays

i really do like my job...seriously. #1 because it's a job, but for reals.

I love jean Fridays. This is silly, but I'm not used to dressing up everyday, considering I've never done it before in my life. I will say as an update from my shopping for work clothes. I did some thrift shopping and did very well if I say so myself. I actually got a pair of Ann Taylor nice pants, with the tag still on saying $98 for $11. I did have to pay $8 to get them hemmed, but I don't think that's bad at all...I guess they might be a little loose too, but I'm not complaining. They're perfect. And my next plan of action is to hit up after christmas sales like whoa. Anyways Fridays if I don't have any programs on the floor I get to wear jeans. Yippee!

I love my view. I try to go upstairs to the Cafe as often as possible and I take a seat right by the window so when I look up from my book I see one of the best views of the skyline in the city. I'm definitely blessed to see it everyday (or almost).

I love nice bus drivers. I have had some grumpy ones (i say good morning to them anyway), but i've also had some super nice ones. Today my bus was just leaving my stop as i rounded the corner so i sprint walked down the opposite side of the street and was so happy to see my bus got a red light so i crossed right in front of it and the bus driver let me on even though it wasn't technically a bus stop. (Many times they won't do that.) So then I thanked him profusely & told him the whole story. He just laughed.

i love that if i get bored i can always go up to the museum and interact with many different people. from the staff to the people attending the museum.

i love that soon i'll be leaving the museum a lot to go to schools and parks. creating even more of a variety in my days. including fluctuating hours too. i like that.

i love that we use macs.

i love that they recycle everything. i was even able to recycle my dad's old cell phone, the cord, and battery all in one quick stop to our recycling space. each trash can (at the desks) have a large container and a small one. the large one is for all recycling and the small one is for trash.

i love that i'm always learning. honestly, space has never been a big interest of mine, although i've always loved the stars. but i do love learning.

i really do like it here and i can't wait to see the job develop further as well.

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
