I've been super involved in the world series this week so blogging has gone to the side so i'll give you some snippets from my week:
*wednesday and thursday the weather was pretty awful here in chicago. wednesday i biked through the strong winds and rain, but thursday i was forced on to the bus. it was a very sad day. the first bus to work i've had in a very long time. (they closed the lakefront path for real this time. i saw it on the news that they weren't letting anyone by.)
*the wind thursday night blew 3 sailboats in the harbor by the shedd into the wall. friday i saw crews working on getting them out and this morning they were still working on it. i feel sorry for those boat owners.
*today one of my co-workers (he works in a different department so i literally only talk to him on saturdays when it's so quiet and there aren't many staff members here) comes down the hall while i'm getting water and starts jumping up and down raising a box in the air. as he got closer i realized he was saying "yeahhhh, texas rangers!!!" I said, "oh no you didn't... don't you worry we'll take it back tonight." maybe i'm being a bit loud about the world series. or maybe i'm just a bit loud in general.
*last friday at the young alumni reunion dinner someone i hadn't seen since college said, "oh, i miss your laugh." I forgot how obnoxious my laugh is.
*i've been quite crafty this week. i painted baby charlie's christmas present monday and sewed too. oh and the pumpkin carving...
*we carved 20 pumpkins at work for Adler After Dark. Annie and I cleaned all the pumpkins and I helped carve two of them. Yes, you read that right. Annie & I cleaned all 20 pumpkins.
*We're working on pulling November's Adler After Dark together. The theme is edible science and we're looking for a wow factor. While we were brainstorming one of my co-workers decided on a flash mob. as i've mentioned participating in a flash mob is one of my goals in life, but i'm not sure that's the wow factor we're looking for (nor do i think it really fits in the theme). but i don't have a better idea. do any of you have a better idea?
*kyle & i took dome out at work on tuesday for his first experience with the dome. it IS and experience! it was helpful to have a boy along (they're just stronger, they just are). but he did say he was impressed how i just threw everything around like it was nothing. bam. i always get to know my co-workers so well when it comes to dome time, which i enjoy. partly because it makes you go a little insane...
*I'm very sad that summer is gone. But I'm really trying to embrace fall.
and now it's time for a beautiful weekend and some wins for the cardinals!
