reunited and it feels so nice

i used to take the megabus ALL the time. it's not for everyone, but i love it.

i haven't taken it in awhile because i have such short trips now that it seems silly to spend 5 hours each way (although it sometimes seems to take that long flying... i've had bad luck lately). their schedule is rather restricting though. but man, is it a good deal.

which brings me to my most recent trip. monday i was reunited with the megabus because of just that. the price.

i was pleasantly surprised to have my own seat and have a bus with the sky windows. that's what i call them anyway. the entire top of the bus is windows. i really like those buses. it was cold. but that's my only complaint. it usually is. cold that is.

after napping, reading, listening to the girl behind me talk on her phone about her budding relationship (i'm happy for her), i popped in a movie and waited for my chicago arrival.

and bam we were here. early. another reason i like megabus. it's usually early.

it's just so low key, no hassle. yes, i've had bad experiences on the megabus, but far fewer than flying (especially lately).

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
