week end recap

This week was another doosy.  I'll do some snippets here and then explain some of these more fully next week.  
I'm not sure I like these snippet lists... I'm still deciding.  But here goes another one.


*went to Cleveland where I stepped up and did pretty much all the in-services throughout the day!  wahoo!  And it was nice because the nurses were so receptive and excited to use the service.  Which they almost immediately did.  They definitely had a need.


*Ate at two restaurants with local food (in one week!)  Greenhouse Tavern in Cleveland and 3 Kings in St. Louis.  Both were wonderful!


*Road trip to and around Ohio.  Fun times with a fun co-worker ;)


*Arriving back to Chicago to beautiful weather, rowing down the windows, blasting the music, singing... loudly, and saying to each other.  We live here and we love this city!


*Talk about extremes for the two different contacts we had at the clinic in Cleveland vs. the hospital in the suburbs.  I love that I get to challenge myself and adjust to working with such different personalities all the time.


*Friday was a very frustrating day with technology.  That is all I'm going to say because I don't want to talk about it...  (My frustration with AT&T continues)


*Friday I headed to Missouri for my cousin's graduation.  I may or may not have left a bit later than I should have for the airport and needed to run through the entire airport.  Ok that happened.  I did make my flight though.  Hooray!
It was a bit stressful.


*got to watch two cardinals games!  Saturday evening we watched and when I got back to Chicago Sunday afternoon, it was the free game on the internet so I got to watch that too!  Sunday's game was better.  Garcia had a rough start Saturday.  We all have our off days.
and this gave me goosebumps =)



*My cousin, Kyle's, graduation!


*I got a new bookshelf off craigslist!
goodbye janky shelves from college
(my brother used the silver ones before me)

HELLOOOOO new bookshelf!
*visited World Market This is how my conversation with the cashier went:
Me:  So when's your last day?
Cashier:  June 17th
Me:  All I'm going to say is I think it's very sad.
Cashier:  I'll say it for you, it's awful and I'm pissed off.
(Guess I'm not the only one.)


*Karen had a wonderful idea to visit Gus' before my flight today.  YUM!  I should be going through pretzel overload right now, but I'm not.  It was so good!


*TED DREWES Saturday night!  I love summer!
We saw quite a few high schoolers after their prom grabbing some delicious frozen custard too =)


*Karen & I arrived at the airport too early for my taste so we went and sat in a parking lot and chatted for a half hour before heading over to the terminal.  Once I walked in, I had to wonder if that was a good idea... the security was worse than I've ever seen it!  INSANE!  Luckily, I saw they opened a lane off to the side (which I didn't even know existed) and I went through there.  Good thing because when I got to my gate, they immediately started boarding.


*On my bus ride back to my place I saw Columbia students graduate at the Chicago Theater.  How cool would that be?!!?!


There you go!

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...
