week over

Thank the Lord.


This week has been blah in a world where blah means awful.
Which partly explains my absence from this space.  The #1 reason being no internet.


With that said, I still had some lovely moments and times too.  It was just stressful and annoying.  I even went in to work late this morning so I could take my favorite yoga class.  I needed it.  I needed Toni to get me back on track.


Comedy Thursday was helpful =)  (Kyle & I had fun recapping it today.)


And Ellen's been awesome!

I honestly could not agree with Ellen more on this.  We need to work on being in the moment more.
Have you ever gone out with a friend and they are distracted by their phone the entire time?  It is one of my biggest pet peeves, although I'm not sure the best way to say, "Could you please put your phone in your bag so we can have a real conversation?  The text message or phone call can wait (unless it's a special circumstance)."  I said please.  I know that wouldn't go over very well.
I talk about this with my cube mates a lot and this week I had another conversation with Rubina as we drove to a school and we were talking about a news story that said you shouldn't be distracted by your phone on a first date.  DUH!  I love what she said.  You shouldn't be distracted by your phone on any date or it's not going to work.  
And I couldn't agree more.

LET'S LIVE IN THE MOMENT, be good people, & DANCE

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
