senem's coffee & tea house

i don't love groupon.
i don't hate it either.
i just don't use it all that often.

monday i spent the day with one of my friends who loves groupon. she said her and her boyfriend gave them as gifts and they pick their nights out based on their groupons. i see no problem with this at all. so while we were out, we decided it was time for lunch and she suggested we check groupon now for suggestions.
long story short, it didn't work out.
but, it did get me thinking about groupon again.
i think that's what influenced me to check out the groupon nows happening near my place.

i found a breakfast groupon to senem's coffee & tea house. it was so sweet. don't be thrown off by the entrance, it's rather ~~scary~~ interesting. as soon as you walk through the door, i promise you'll be overwhelmed by cuteness.
the lady working was so nice and took my groupon no problem.
they brew metropolis coffee and i checked out the prices (even though i just used my groupon) and it seemed reasonably priced too.
i can honestly say i wouldn't have entered this place without the groupon, but i'm definitely going back.

i love supporting local stores.
no, this won't take me away from coffee & tea exchange completely (come on, it's on my block), but this has a little area to sit and relax for awhile too.

entrance - see what i mean? (via)

inside - completely different (via)

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 ;)
