strawberry sweetness

strawberries are so appropriate for summertime!  they were on sale at jewel and i STOCKED UP!  now when i get home from my runs, nothing tastes better than strawberries!  it's perfect!


the last couple days here have been pretty summery.  it's lovely.  


i like to make deliveries of bday presents to my friends so today i was heading downtown on the lakefront path making a delivery, jamming to this 
  Noah And The Whale - 5 Years Time by CAFFE' SANT'AGATA - BS


it was perfect!


the lakefront path always has something going on (when it's nice outside).  i think i could write everyday, just about something i see on the path.  it keeps it interesting.  i'm happy as long as people aren't yelling, which sadly happens too often.  


the other day i was running and it was wonderful & i noticed how quiet it was.  i mean there are cars whizzing past right next to me, but the people aren't talking.  it was so interesting and almost peaceful.  


then sometimes someone gets upset and yells.  it usually seems silly.  the lakefront path is a combination of locals and tourists (who don't always understand the workings of the path).  and sometimes the locals get upset.  i've been there before so i understand, but place such a value on the peacefulness of it.  people are generally happy when they're on the path.  i'd like to keep it that way.  when i get on the path at peak hours i know i'll be encountering lots of tourists and it is what it is.  everyone is there to enjoy themselves.


i've been successfully confusing myself though...
so at halloween (of last year) i requested hocus pocus from the library.  and i've been waiting for it to be my turn, until last friday.  so i've watched it 3 times (i did wait 8 months for it).  i think i'm ready to return it tomorrow.


i'll just enjoy my strawberries and the sun sun suuunn




p.s. i'd like to wish my big brother a very very happy 29th bday!!!!
happy birthday Jeffrey!

Fall Photos

After admiring the leaves on our runs and my bike to work, we recruited my parents to take some photos of us there this weekend.   After these photos (and tackling some IT issues for my parents) we went to a birthday gathering at the jazz festival on Cherokee Street.  I liked it more than I thought I would. As the night wore on, I started chatting with one of the friend of a friend's there.  I started going in to what a crazy year and some change it's been and, whew, it really started to overwhelm me.   This morning, Mike woke up overwhelmed by our world/specifically our country.  I woke up with that conversation still in my head and also felt overwhelmed.  We treated ourselves to Sump Coffee and had a chat.  It's not always we sit down and talk about what we want and steps to get there. Fall feels like the perfect time to reset.  As we went through the day I also thought, it's okay to miss things in the past, but it woul...

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 ...

Concerts = ♡

Last week was an exceptional concert week for me.  I was lucky enough to catch San Fermin, The Mowgli's, & American Authors.  In one week! My sister, Karen, and I found out San Fermin would be in Chicago at LouFest when we went through the artist signing line.  (Correction: Karen participated in the artist signing line, while I hid behind her shoulder and Ellis, the composer/writer, reached out to me to introduce himself.  This band is full of quality people.  Just sayin'.  I get awkward around bands.)   So we followed through.  Found their show at the Metro (which could not be more convenient for us) and met up with Rubina, my friend, to enjoy their show.  So good.  We were not disappointed.  I was only minutely disappointed because for some reason I assumed they were headlining so when they didn't come out for an encore I was confused.  But then I realized they were the middle act and it made sense. ...
