25 Here I am!

My actual birthday (Thursday) just was... I guess.


My cubemates were wonderful.  I asked them not to plan anything or make a big deal out of my bday and that's exactly what they did!  Thank you. =)  
I got to work after a pretty annoying commute... ugh that bus driver.  Anyway I got there to find two very sweet and hilarious cards and some delicious yogurt covered pretzels.


That night was the 21+ event at work (meaning I had to work late and it was a very busy day).  Oh, well.  The theme was Chinese New Year (p.s. I made-up that cocktail.  Yea me!) so I got to see a pretty awesome dragon dance.
It was a crazier than usual event (involved a bit of running... literally).


Saturday I took the day off for a "me day."
It was a bit of a bust, but at least I wasn't at work.
Saturday night I went to a dive bar with a few of my friends.  I took my camera with the intention to get some awesome photos.  I basically failed and took less than 5.  Oh well.  Here they are:

AND NOW I'M 25!
I'm quite excited to see what 25 has in store for me.

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 ...

(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
