things i'm loving this morning

Clouds.  You may never hear me say that again, but it made for a much more enjoyable morning run.


A pot of veggies for breakfast.  I was still in my sticky, dripping running clothes when I started chopping veggies.  Totally worth it.  Yum!


Iced coffee.


Cardinals line up for today.  Even though we're still missing many players, I'm happy to see Craig back in the 4 spot.


Reusable napkin.


Summer dresses.  I say dresses are God's gift to women (we deserved something, no?).  Although winter dresses are another story.  Those can be torture.  
$54 for a dress w/o pockets.
probably not, but I have my eye on the one on the left


Ceiling fan.


Luna recovery drink.  After long runs, this is lovely.  No, it's not made anymore and mine is expired.  But I keep drinking it and I'm ok.  I would not serve it to others, don't worry.
I remember when my mom gave these back to me when I got back from Mexico and I pointed out they were expired.  She said it would be ok.  So if it passes mother inspection...


Walk The Moon.  I'm obsessed with them right now.  
I looked through their tour dates this morning, just to discover they were in Chicago LAST night.  I was a little upset.  Although to be honest I was at a friend's bday celebration and I probably would have gone to it anyway, but man...  really?
Their new album comes out Tuesday!  (they'll also be performing on David Letterman that night)  You better bet I'm getting it immediately.
However, they made little music videos themselves this past week with VEVO.  Here's one:  (chosen for obvious reasons)

I'm pretty obsessed with Iscariot too.  Especially around 2min!  Fav part!
and their album art makes me want to buy the actual disc.  This would be super cute framed in my place.
Although I've been working on a framing project for about a year now... so maybe I should finish that one first...


This video is funny.
Even though I'm not 29 or 31.

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...

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. ...

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 ...
