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!

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 ;)
