work holiday partay

ok so it wasn't quite a partay per se. more like a party, but it was good.

i was walking up with the other AEs (...remember Assistant Educators-what i am-there's 3 of us) and I was just telling them how we actually are lucky considering lots of places pay big money to have events at the adler. (no one generally looks forward to the holiday party at adler) I got to get to know Elena (another AE) and one of my bosses much better. With a gorgeous city view in the background.

i was assigned to small talk duty with one of the volunteers, who Elena knew. She kept saying how she knew she should talk to her, but small talk annoys her. I said I can do small talk and there I went.

Another plus. The commute home was SUPER fast!

there we go. i didn't win any raffle prizes (but i think i would only enjoy like 1 of them). we did all get cards with pictures of the adler through time on the front. i guess that was nice.

AND i found out i can hook up anyone with the full package at adler (for free of course) and i can take like up to 4 people with me to other museums. that's free too. i'm going to be hitting up museums this year!

have a great wednesday!

and...i'm actually getting work work at work =)

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one: the chicago history museum . it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway. that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around. I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name). the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago. it was fun to see what it was really like. and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

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...

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa. But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas? Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season. i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday. it was all over the mall. it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change
