Splurge

I can't seem to justify spending hundreds of dollars for Lollapoloza.  I'd like to go, yes.  But I just can't.

However, I justify splurging on a groupon rooftop ticket to a cards/cubs game (which is still expensive, even though it's a groupon).  My mind sometimes works in mysterious ways.  I can't help it.  This is a story for another time.
Even though the game is Sunday and I'm super excited!  Rooftop is apparently a must do!


So right now I'm checking out Lollapoloza's after-parties to see which ones of my favorites I can go to.  Who's on my list?
-Of Monsters & Men
-Ballpark Music
-Temper Trap


I think I'm behind the game though because they seem to be sold out.

Fingers crossed I can figure out an after show to attend next weekend!  For this weekend, I'm excited for the official start of the olympics (even though it already started), my favorite street festival, the cardinals game, AND there's supposed to be beautiful weather all weekend!  (Hopefully that will make my 17 mile run on Saturday a bit easier.)  So excited!

I hope you have a great weekend too!

Have you made any fun spluges lately?  Have any buyers remorse or totally worth it?

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
