cube mates

I have some pretty awesome cube mates 
- "pretty" 
= I have some AWESOME cube mates.


Luckily none of them are like this.  =)


But really...
I think some changes are coming to my treasured cube. 
I am thankful for my cube mates.


They make truly awful days bearable.
They make me laugh at least once everyday.
They go along with my crazy ideas or find a calm way to talk me out of them.
We help each other, without expecting anything in return.
They make me feel anything's possible.
They help me come up with silly things to make the day more interesting.
They are good sports when we play little pranks on each other.  They're willing to laugh it off with me.
They brainstorm with me beyond expectations.


And they listen to all my stories, which can sometimes be quite long with lots of tangents (and they actually look interested).  So they are either some pretty awesome actors or they're just THAT awesome!  And they even allow me to interrupt their work to tell them my silly stories that randomly pop in my head.  Don't worry.  I try to control the number of times I interrupt them a day, but even with that control, it's still a lot.


Oh, and they take the dome out with me, which alone is enough of a reason to like them.  (And they don't insult my driving.)



yeah, these are the only pictures I have of them together.  (decorating for christmas)
We got Magnolia's cupcakes for taking a survey 
we were in the recap of the holiday party.

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
