change is in the air

yeah, i know.
heat is in the air. although, personally i'd take the heat we had this week over the snow and freezing cold in winter time any day.
rain is in the air too. man oh man, last night was a big one.

but
change is in the air too...

i've been getting the itch to switch things up for a few months now. i think i'm just someone who needs variety and to try new things, even though sometimes it's a little disconcerting.
but at the end of the day, i ask myself, 'why not?'

lately, i'm thinking of nyc.
why not?

i'm ready to move on from my job and i'm looking.
i'm looking in chicago and nyc and i figure whatever works out is meant to be.

i mean moving to nyc makes me feel a little nervous (i've only spent a month there and only visited 3 times... total). but when i moved to chicago i'd only been here three times. and things worked out.

i just think it's time to shake things up.

that's my song of the moment. i can't explain it all. it just is.
and yes... it make me think of 13 going on 30

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.

Kitchen Safety

We moved! We're in our new place and we just got wifi. Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly. I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven. The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off. Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm. Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do. In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with. There were definite flames. Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do. He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven). He said to throw baking soda on it. I did. It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

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
