Notes from the Week

*When the weather is right around 32 accumulation will change from rain to sleet to freezing rain (what's the difference between sleet and freezing rain anyway?) to snow and back and forth and back and forth.  Interesting.

 *Walking in snow in heels is terrible.

 *Why does it take 2 months to get a doctor's appointment?  I mean, what if it was an emergency?

 *We've actually had a typical Chicago winter week for the first week this season.  Cold.  Snow every other day.

 *Chipotle vegetarian chili is amazing.  And my friends who made it for me at their super bowl party (I was the only vegetarian there) get the amazing title as well.

 *Apparently lunch time gym classes are a thing at the gym.  Can you say popular?

 *Carpenter (cardinals) is out for 2013.  This makes me sad.  Although, my sensible father put it into perspective for me.

 *How many people do you think it took to brainstorm this letter from cbs?  They had to cover it all.

 *What it's like to be a 20 something.  Hilarious.

 *I've mentioned how cereal can be quite a splurge.  This week I made my favorite & largest splurge.  Puffins:  Peanut Butter.  Yum!

 *Why is Chicago Restaurant Week so unfriendly to vegetarians?
Unlike the people in the article, after looking at two menus and seeing no options, I decided it's not worth it.  

 *Yesterday my brother & sister-in-law celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary.  Congratulations to them!

 *I have a new art project in mind.  I don't want to use that quote, but I'm excited about the layering, etc. effect.

 *I still don't seem to know what side of my car the gas tank is on.  I was on the phone with Karen as I pulled up for some gas... realized it was on the other side at a busy gas station, had to reverse, turn around, all while blocking my spot so no one stole it from me.  What did I say to Karen?, "That was embarrassing."

 *My dad is awesome & my mom is funny.

 HAPPY WEEKEND!

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 ;)
