omg talk about the worst blogger/friend ever.

sorry!

currently watching abdc.

etsssss backkkkkkkkkk.

jason, the gq model lisa's been talking to, is in chicago and has been staying at our apt for the past week.

totally normal.

taryn, lisa, jason and i went to see scream 4 tonight.

bahahahaha. go see it.

the kanye workout plan starts tomorrow.

bathing suit season is almost here!

can't wait for liz to rejoin the social world next weekend.

gno!

and because i'm so super lazy, here's a photo dump to summarize the past couple weeks.

almost all of which you've already seen if we're fb friends.

Sunday Night Confessional

oh just another amazing weekend to add to the books.

danced the night away at merkle's for taryn's "not" boyfriend's show friday night. :)

yowza.

one of lisa's besties, kristen, had her bday party last night and we did it up big.

dinner at agami, limo, bottle service at crescendo. ashley had a dance off with a stripper... i mean dancer. and then we spent $45 at mcdonalds. normal.

then today lisa and i went to my parent's place (that's so weird to say) to see my new baby cousin!

alyvia reagen. what a muffin!!

oh and i can't leave rowan out. i'm seriously obsessed with my family.

i got an iphone 4 yesterday!

it shouldn't be that big a deal.. i already owned an iphone so it's not like a huge difference... but it is. addicted to technology. nerdddd.

lise and i also bought a tv this weekend!

finally. and now i'm extremely poor.

this is my last week of bootycamp.

so happy about this... and yet the thought of running around in a bikini at the beach is still pretty terrifying. it's almost that time!

i'm trying to coordinate another lake geneva trip for this summer.

shitshow. i mean... best time ever.

i'm ready for another yacht party. "ken's a fag."

i'm also trying (unsuccessfully) to convince my friends to visit me in chicago.

that would be directed at all of my dallas lovuhs. i promise summer in chicago is the bestbestbest!

omg had the best weekend ever. again.

-friday-

hung out with my fam in the burbs.

sushi and chilling. i like, i like.

-saturday-

it was chicago's big st. patrick's day celebration and it was wildddddd. lisa and i had her bro and his friends over for brunch in the morning, pre-bar hopping.

we made an egg casserole (can't recommend that recipe enough! make it.), bagels, muffins, bloody mary's and mimosas. then we hit some bars with kristen and the guys - mahoney's and callahan's. i met a super hot guy. nothing happened with that. some girl tried to steal my jacket at the one bar (i'm not even kidding). i found it after searching for 20 min. thought about punching her in the face but just ripped my coat off her chair and left instead. then we went over to jay and aaron's where a bunch of my friends were hanging and playing drinking games. fun fun fun. went to bed at 3am - repeat of last year much?

missed you taryn! and liz! and natalie (dude, just move back).

-sunday-

my cousin nicky's bday is today (happy birthday!) so lise and i went to his house in lisle with the rest of our families and spent the day hanging with baby row. after going to church this morning.

we finally tried out holy name cathedral - omg gorgeous! i might love it as much as i loved highland park methodist... and that's a lot.

i'll post pics this to better recap as soon as nicky puts them up on fb.

of course i didn't take any photos of my own. why do i own a camera?

bootcamp again tomorrow. ahhhhh it's hard!

but needed. i'm both excited and dreading it. lets get skenny.

Flashback Friday

the band

everyone in our middle school was forced to be in the band. i played the flute.

what an embarrassing instrument.

p.s. i chose this pic because of the sweet couch.

i had the best birthday weekend!

lisa and i had a bunch of people over on saturday night for a housewarming/bday party. there were probably 20-30 of us. of course i took zero pictures - i need you taryn! - but i can paint a little picture for you...

we finished a full bottle of kirkland vodka (have you seen one of those things??), a bottle of ciroc, a 24 pack of bud light, a six pack of amstel light, a six pack of fat tire, the remaining coors light in my fridge, a bottle of white wine and a bottle of champagne. yikes.com.

yesterday, my family came downtown (and brought marcel! i miss that little munchkin) for my bday dinner.

we went to salpicon right down the street and it was amazing (great margs!). then we came back to my apt for cake and presents. i love bdays. :)

thennnnn things took a turn for terrible and i woke up in the middle of the night with a 103.6 fever. um, what the??

needless to say, i won't be making it to my first bulldog bootcamp class tonight (oh, ps - it's outdoors). i also had to use one of my sick days at work which i was trying to hoard for summer hookie days. and every doctor i called was overbooked so i'm sitting in my apt dying with no access to medical care. meow.

i miss my dallas friends!!!

austin has come up in conversation like 5 times in the past month and it just takes me back to river floating, 6th/4th streeting, sunburns and gay bars with "my girls" bahaha.

i am beyond! excited! to move into my new apt.

fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - if all goes as planned. our technical move-in date is tuesday the 1st but the place is vacant so we're seeing about getting the keys early.

i mean this in the least conceited way possible: juggling the men currently in my life is exhausting.

dinners, lunches, parties, bars, friends, work, need sleep ah. more deets on that will just have to be discussed offline, haha.

this weekend was super fun but also extremely.... interesting.

so great. so terrible.

i'm going to start painting and generally reconnecting with my love for art.

and i'm going to start by trying to recreate this little baby for my apt. love!

speaking of - you should probably check out ekaterina koroleva's website. great stuff.

they actually probably still exist, but i haven't eaten one since i was like 10, so they still count as a flashback in my book.
