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!

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.

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...

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.) ...
