When The Leaves Come Falling Down

i so love fall in chicago on days as pretty as today!

p.s.

check out maxikins watching finding nemo with me last night.

wittle angel. :)

also notice my new, much larger (borrowed from margaux but mine for now) tv. hollerssss.

Wahhhhhh

our house is officially on the market.

today we had realtors & a photographer come through to take pics of the house for the listing. omg, this is the saddest day ever. i know it's just a house & seeing as how my mom's an interior designer, it's not even possible for our new house to be less than beautiful after she gets her hands on it, but this is home. we built this house before i was born. we've had every christmas here for the past 25 years. every room holds a million memories of good times, bad times, childhood, people loved and lost. i knew my parents never intended to stay here forever, but in the back of my mind, i kind of thought they would. it's just so sad to know that our beautiful home might belong to some other weird (maybe) family in a matter of months. possibly even sooner, considering the crap the realtors say when they walk in. wahhhhh, i'm such a sappy baby but i just can't help it.

in other news...

i rescheduled my date, originally set for tonight.

erik & i are going out tomorrow instead. not sure what the plan is yet.

p.s.

if i had the extra cash, i would totally snatch up all of the jewels featured on hautelook today.

g.o.r.g.e.

p.p.s.

i really do need a black leather jacket.

it would make me look a lot cooler & would make me a lot less resistant to the coming of fall (which has already begun here in chicago... i saw leavessss on the ground yesterday! nooo.)

Sunday Night Confessional

i ate a sickening amount of food at heaven on seven today.

it was amazing & i was hungry.

i'm psyched about the expected summer weather we have coming to us in chicago this week.

i'm seriously considering buying this book.

i'm really going to miss my walk/runs around the midwest club.

margaux & i are slowly making our way through the disney classics.

on queue: lion king, cinderella, dumbo, three caballeros, robin hood, pocahontas.

i think i did something not good this weekend, pretty much screwing up my chances with both of the boys i'm currently interested in.

...i may or may not elaborate on this topic, depending on how this week & next weekend go...

i updated my itunes with some ballin new songs.

i also updated my blog tunes. enjoy.

As promised...

i had to put it on youtube because it was taking too long to upload with quicktime. kinda awk.
