ILove

Right now the Illinois state Senate is supposed to be working on a law to make same-sex marriage legal in Illinois.  

 When I walk up and down the main street closest to me this is what I see in almost every business window.  

 And the windows that don't have one in their window, I stop to wonder, 'Why not?'

 I actually love the support.  I'm tired of inequality and any steps (like this) in the right direction, I support.

 I don't care what ethnicity you are
I don't care what school you went to
I don't care where you grew up
I don't care what you wear
I don't care what language you speak *
I don't care how old you are
I don't care where you work
I don't care who you're attracted to.

 (I'd love to learn about your experiences and learn from you, but I don't want to classify you based on things like that.)

 I see people as people.

 Why do we try SO hard to make divisions and inequality?

 *this may make it a bit more difficult to communicate, but I've lived in a country where I wasn't super comfortable with the language for quite awhile & I wouldn't explain it as a "fun" experience.
It doesn't define who you are.

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 ;)
