Notes from the Week

*When the weather is right around 32 accumulation will change from rain to sleet to freezing rain (what's the difference between sleet and freezing rain anyway?) to snow and back and forth and back and forth.  Interesting.

 *Walking in snow in heels is terrible.

 *Why does it take 2 months to get a doctor's appointment?  I mean, what if it was an emergency?

 *We've actually had a typical Chicago winter week for the first week this season.  Cold.  Snow every other day.

 *Chipotle vegetarian chili is amazing.  And my friends who made it for me at their super bowl party (I was the only vegetarian there) get the amazing title as well.

 *Apparently lunch time gym classes are a thing at the gym.  Can you say popular?

 *Carpenter (cardinals) is out for 2013.  This makes me sad.  Although, my sensible father put it into perspective for me.

 *How many people do you think it took to brainstorm this letter from cbs?  They had to cover it all.

 *What it's like to be a 20 something.  Hilarious.

 *I've mentioned how cereal can be quite a splurge.  This week I made my favorite & largest splurge.  Puffins:  Peanut Butter.  Yum!

 *Why is Chicago Restaurant Week so unfriendly to vegetarians?
Unlike the people in the article, after looking at two menus and seeing no options, I decided it's not worth it.  

 *Yesterday my brother & sister-in-law celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary.  Congratulations to them!

 *I have a new art project in mind.  I don't want to use that quote, but I'm excited about the layering, etc. effect.

 *I still don't seem to know what side of my car the gas tank is on.  I was on the phone with Karen as I pulled up for some gas... realized it was on the other side at a busy gas station, had to reverse, turn around, all while blocking my spot so no one stole it from me.  What did I say to Karen?, "That was embarrassing."

 *My dad is awesome & my mom is funny.

 HAPPY WEEKEND!

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 alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
