halloween recap

i stuck with my find something in my closet and create a costume again this year.  
saturday night i was little red riding hood.  i pulled out a red cape i wore when i was 8ish and the rest of the costume didn't really matter.  people knew what i was!  (sorry... no pics)
next year i have my sights set on a really creative costume (still from my closet of course)...  i just wasn't really feeling it this year. 

favorite costume:
-french toast a girl had a piece of bread made out of poster board on her front and back a frenchish shirt, beret, and mustache drawn on.  i turned to inez and asked if she was toast or a sandwich.  she didn't hesitate for a second and said, "she's french toast, Lisa."  ohhhhh.  very creative!
-i really liked the chiquita banana lady.  a long yellow dress with a fruit thing on her head.  i have no idea how she made it stay.
-there was a pinocchio that was pretty awesome too!

what did i see the most?  the progressive lady.  i was surprised by that one.

emily and i checked out the north halsted halloween parade.  that was fun and we got to see some more creative, fun costumes.  it was really fun and great catch-up time.

i watched ghostbusters for the first time so that's good.  

i hope you all had a lovely halloween!

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Skyline Views

I finished reading My Heart is an Idiot a couple weeks ago.  The author lived in Chicago for a bit and had several essays in the book where he mentioned Chicago. In one essay he mentioned the skyline view from Augusta & Wood.  I was curious so I decided to go for a bike ride and check out this "amazing" view of the skyline. This was it, people.   Hmmm.... I think I had a better view on the Damen bridge just north of Fullerton on my way there.  I am a sucker for the unexpected skyline views around the city (like on Damen).  I'll also throw in the view from Chicago and Halsted.  Also the orange line between Western and 35th/Archer is pretty amazing.  Do you have any places you love to take in the unexpected view? I'm not talking the Adler... I consider that expected.

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 alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike
