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!

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
