weekend recap


this weekend was so lovely!

one of my friends from my dorm freshman year, Marianne, came back to visit.  friday night nez (another friend from seton), marianne and I hit up some mexican food (margaritas of course) and then headed over to rocks for some girl catching up and chatting.  it was so much needed.  

saturday i had work (which was insane, i don't want to talk about it).  so i missed out on the day fun, but i forced myself was able to meet up with them at night.  and i am so glad I did.

we went to fountainhead near inez's place for dinner.  they had a book of beer and alcohol to pick from.  needless to say, i was completely overwhelmed and didn't even know where to start.  so i talked with my waitress and ended up with a North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner and I really enjoyed it.  the next day i even saw fountainhead is listed as #4 for overall beer selection in chicago.  i'm not surprised.  it was a great atmosphere.
then we headed downtown to a karaoke dive bar, which was completely packed and surprisingly very fun.
at 2 marianne was ready to hit up somewhere to dance.  so we walked down the street to lasalle power company.  the perk of getting there at 2 was it wasn't packed so we had plenty of space to dance and do our thing, which i am always a fan.


i feel so lucky i got so much time with these amazing women!

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!
