old friends

This week one of my oldest friends definitely came through for me.  Actually, Jess is my oldest friend (besides my sister).  We've been through a lot together, since the beginning of middle school.  


Now, we don't get to see each other very much.  She went to a college near our hometown, got married, and moved back to the street she grew up on.  But even without seeing each other (or using the internet) we do pretty good at staying in touch.  The good old phone.  That's how we first developed our relationship and it's how we sustain it.


Sometimes too long passes before we catch each other and have a nice chat, but we did last Monday and it was just what I needed.  
We quickly run through what we've been up to and jump into deeper stuff.  


She calmed me down and the fact that she knows so many of my experiences she gives some of the best advice.


So this week (and always), I'm very thankful for her.

a minor other thing I was very thankful for this week:
Last school year Liz & I went to a school with the dome and a person cut off part of our rental car and it created a very long day.  Rubina & I went back to the school Tuesday.  The day was actually going exceptionally well for being a dome day.  All day we had a little pit in our stomach that the car wouldn't start at the end of the day.
BUT IT DID!
thank you person for not sawing off a part of our car again.

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 ;)
