This Week



This week felt incredibly long.  I'm blaming it on the time change and the fact that I now remind myself to turn around at my desk every day at 3:30 to watch the sun set.  (It's become a thing in my area where Thursday it was 4:30 and Meredith said, "Oh, Lisa, it looks like you missed the sunset today."  And I did.)

But this week had things happening:

*Waters, Magic Man, & Smallpools in concert

*christmas lights up at work.  It's fine.  They're pretty.

*I fell in love with this series of short videos.  I have no idea why.  When I was in dance as a kid I tried ballet, tap, and jazz and ballet was quickly excluded.  It wasn't for me.  But this week I found myself walking down State Street gazing up in the windows of the Jeffrey Ballet to watch them practice.  (Quickly glancing is probably more accurate...it was cold.)

*What Your Zodiac Sign Says About Your Social Media Habits Mine was completely wrong.

*My calendar feels pretty overwhelming right now, but the only thing to do is keep right on going.

*I went to the opening of Shake Shack with some co-workers, had a lovely time, and became famous.  That is an exaggeration, but let's just say people kept coming up to our cube section on Thursday saying they saw us on the website.  (And not because we told them.)  Just look at Shake Shack River North's main page: we're the banner.  We're wondering if we should go ask for some free food... ;)

*Who's ready for Season 4 of Girls!

*And for the first time in my life my boss said they want to keep me happy to keep me.  It feels pretty nice.

Hello, November!  I'm hoping for a good month over here!

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!
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

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
