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!

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
