springness=happiness

being outside more honestly just makes me a happier person.  maybe i suffer from a bit of weather depression because i feel like when the weather gets better i come alive.

i mentioned my first bike ride of the season and i've been getting in some serious mileage (for me anyway) so that's awesome.  and i started running outside too, which requires a lot more energy, but has so many more benefits.
i have such a clear head.  and makes me calmer too.  

and after a seriously exhausting week (i was seriously tired all week) sunday was just what i needed.  
it included a long walk.  where i found a panderia (mexican bread) somewhat close to me.  i also walked past a tattoo parlor.  i was almost pulled in.  don't worry family i didn't get one.  but i feel that's how i generally make my decisions.  impulsive.  i don't necessarily think things through.  i guess a tattoo is something i should think through.  it looked really nice though.  
i also headed to the harbor across the street from me and caught some rays.  i had a long catch-up session with karen (phone time).  then i read a little and just laid down and listened to the cards game on my seriously awesome app.

and i fell asleep last night with my window open and the breeze floating in my room.  i felt like i was at some beach.  i don't know why.  maybe it sort-of smelt beachy.  it felt that way.

so i'm sort-of obsessed with mod cloth right now.  a bunch of awesome clothes i can't afford, but i just love to look at them.  and look what springy cuteness i came across yesterday.

yea yea yea spring spring spring

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 ;)
