whew what a day

definitely the fastest saturday... ever.
or fastest that i had work.


i came in ready to go despite the coffee smells surrounding me on the bus making me wish i took some with me.  i decided i would make myself tea when i got to work and make myself be satisfied.


i had tasks i needed to do so i was happy about that.  (saturdays are generally slow for me)


so here i am working when surprise the new volunteers, that i wasn't expecting until next week, showed up!
i now need to train them.
and find all their new stuff.
without anyone telling me they were coming.


then my boss left because she didn't feel well and we kept getting calls about the special moon tonight and i think they put a note up at the box office to call me if anyone sort-of possibly related to education comes in to call me on saturdays because i kept getting some crazy calls.


no lunch time for me today.


it all worked out ok.  they are two awesome high schoolers.  (usually high schoolers scare me)  they're so anxious to learn.  i think i need to step up my game.  they had a question about gravity that i found very difficult to answer so i'm going to look up that for next saturday (when i will actually be ready for them) and i think we're going to learn something new each week.
i just came up with that idea.


i really appreciated how honest they were with me and not afraid to ask questions and not afraid to come find me to ask a question while they were thinking about it.


i think we're going to get along great (they're volunteering through the summer).

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.  

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

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did!  It was a super fun weekend!  And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City.  He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees."  He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills."  I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES!  We won't see that til...april?  may? obsessed  i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today!  I want a nap ;)
