isn't it insane how we spend so much time preparing for christmas and then, BAM, it's gone!
my christmas "holiday" was just that. fast.
friday night i headed to st. louis and monday morning i came back to chicago.
friday karen picked me up and we headed to wild lights at the st. louis zoo. (you can find free parking without too much trouble, but there is a $5 admission)
 |
| purple tree! |
 |
| helloooooo wildlights |
 |
| we took some funny photos to entertain ourselves |
 |
| hello mr. penguin |
then we headed to the city museum. which was awesome! so much fun!
 |
| we slid around on the ground |
 |
| climbed through small spaces |
 |
| climbed through airplanes |
 |
| peak through holes |
 |
| and had lot's of FUN! |
 |
| played around outside in sweatshirts because it was SO nice |
 |
| went down lots of slides |
 |
| hurt our knees (you should have seen karen's bruised knees the next day) |
 |
| A+ for the City Museum |
then we drove around to check out house decorations, which were pretty crazy. awesome.
full night. =)
saturday (christmas eve)
karen & i walked from her place to starbucks, where we were asked if we're twins ;) we did say the same exact thing at the same exact time...
we met up with mom & dad and headed to the fox to see beauty & the beast. i saw the show in chicago over the summer with a friend. but this time i could see their facial expressions! (thanks dado!)
we stopped by the arch to take some photos.
(no coats necessary!!!)
at night and on christmas we had family get togethers and fun stuff like that (i don't have any photos of that)
monday
long story short i didn't ride the megabus to chicago. (as planned)
the bus driver didn't change the sign that read "st. louis chicago", check tickets, or make any sort-of announcement.
i ended up on the greyhound with several others who were sort-of screwed over by megabus.
i'd never taken the greyhound before, but i had an exceptional bus driver. 7 hours on the bus later i finally made it to chicago.
let's just say it was a stressful day.
-----------------------------------
things haven't turned up this week, unfortunately. it's been frustrating.
among other things i had my first bike accident in quite awhile. (read: it wasn't that bad. there were no cars involved.) careful when riding on ice!
there are 2 guitar players on my floor now. i think this is a definite plus! (there was only 1 before) would it be weird if i set-up camp out in the hallway?
