week's recap

what a week!  the madness that was sunday seemed to continue throughout the week.


This week included attending the interns "community bash" at the Adler.  They were so proud and I was so happy for them.  I wasn't happy about going in to work on my day off (Monday), but I made myself go in and i was so happy i did.  i think it was important to them because they seemed very excited to see me.  so that's good.


i also got to catch-up with a couple girlfriends i hadn't seen in awhile.  one i met at urban vegan, somewhere i've never been before.  it didn't have anything on chicago diner, but it was nice to catch-up with nez.  
i had some chat time with emily before checking out beauty and the beast.  she found some crazy discounted tickets for $18 .  it was SOOO good to see her and catch-up.  it's one of those times when you glaze the surface of the things you've been up to so you can get down and dirty with real discussions.  beauty and the beast was good too.  i forgot lots of it from my disney viewing days.  at one point emily leaned over and asked, "did this happen in the movie?"  my response:  "i think so."  we had fun anyway.


i found out i'm becoming known for my bright clothing choices at work... not sure if it's good or bad.  i like bright clothing.  what can i say?
tuesday was a particularly brightly dressed day for me.  and i got lots of compliments.  usually followed by a rather interesting statement.  
one co-worker told me she just bought bright pants and thinks of me every time she wears them.  and tells herself, 'if Lisa can do it so can i'
another co-worker said it (my outfit) reminded her of sherbet.  yeah, that was an interesting one.
they say i can pull it off and i like it so whatever.
i say summer is only so long.  why not?


the cardinals are still fighting in their division, stirring up some controversy this week


my bike continues to lose parts.  my front fender started acting up and scraping against my tire forcing me to stop several times during any trip i was taking.  i took that off too.  i had too.  the bike keeps trucking...  


the weather turned beautiful this week.  


i'm excited to see karen this weekend.  she's coming to the 'burbs for a girls weekend with some of her friends so i'm going to see all them for a little bit.


august is off to a great start!


and check this out → if chicago had these i would be so happy.  it would definitely make me take the el more.


have a great weekend everyone!

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 alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
