Music Inspiration

Where do you get your current music favs from?

The music I like most to listen to any/all the time I usually hear on Sirius XM the Alt Nation station.  I think it's 36.  Definitely my favorite.

As for popular songs... first, my spin instructor.  I'm not kidding.  I always hear songs in that room first (with him singing along of course).  Then I'll start hearing the songs on tv shows (girls, glee, etc.).  This can also sometimes correspond to hearing them when listening to music in Karen's car.  

The latest song... 


I've been listening to this song in that spin studio for weeks.  Now it's on Girls and everyone is raving about it.

Before that it was Scissor Sisters.  He loves his Scissor Sisters.


How was your weekend?
I hope you had a great one!
I had a low-key weekend while I recovered from a cold that pretty much knocked me out last week.  I made minimal trips outside, although, of course, I was outside during the gross freezing rain we had yesterday.  I finished sewing a dress, which I'll blog about soonish.  Had brunch with a friend.  Took care of the low air pressure in my tires.  Made some Auntie Anne's pretzels (from a box).  And watched more movies than I've watched in a long time (including the World Series 2011).
But I'm feeling much better.


Happy Monday!  Here's to a good week!

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...

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 ...

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. ...
