things i'm loving this morning

Clouds.  You may never hear me say that again, but it made for a much more enjoyable morning run.


A pot of veggies for breakfast.  I was still in my sticky, dripping running clothes when I started chopping veggies.  Totally worth it.  Yum!


Iced coffee.


Cardinals line up for today.  Even though we're still missing many players, I'm happy to see Craig back in the 4 spot.


Reusable napkin.


Summer dresses.  I say dresses are God's gift to women (we deserved something, no?).  Although winter dresses are another story.  Those can be torture.  
$54 for a dress w/o pockets.
probably not, but I have my eye on the one on the left


Ceiling fan.


Luna recovery drink.  After long runs, this is lovely.  No, it's not made anymore and mine is expired.  But I keep drinking it and I'm ok.  I would not serve it to others, don't worry.
I remember when my mom gave these back to me when I got back from Mexico and I pointed out they were expired.  She said it would be ok.  So if it passes mother inspection...


Walk The Moon.  I'm obsessed with them right now.  
I looked through their tour dates this morning, just to discover they were in Chicago LAST night.  I was a little upset.  Although to be honest I was at a friend's bday celebration and I probably would have gone to it anyway, but man...  really?
Their new album comes out Tuesday!  (they'll also be performing on David Letterman that night)  You better bet I'm getting it immediately.
However, they made little music videos themselves this past week with VEVO.  Here's one:  (chosen for obvious reasons)

I'm pretty obsessed with Iscariot too.  Especially around 2min!  Fav part!
and their album art makes me want to buy the actual disc.  This would be super cute framed in my place.
Although I've been working on a framing project for about a year now... so maybe I should finish that one first...


This video is funny.
Even though I'm not 29 or 31.

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
