Evening Commute

it kind of makes my day when i see the red line violinist at the state and lake stop on my way home from work.

and i'm obviously not the only one who thinks he's awesome.

Life Lately

i'm thinking it's about time to spice things up.

but that'll have to wait til tomorrow. tonight, i'm staying in... drained from our wild night out in the burbs last night.

Vintage

Sunday Night Confessional

life is pretty good.

sounds like things at work may be taking a turn for the better.

and of course the weekend was fun. filled with friends, cocktails, rowan and greek town.

Sunday Night Confessional

sunday sunday.

my aunt was in town from tennessee this weekend, my cousin just got engaged and lisa's dad's bday was last week, so we had a little family party at nicky's on saturday.

dan's pizza, wine, and rowan. it really doesn't get any better.

and then i slept over at my parents' place in the burbs so i got to hang out with margaux and marcel. and woke up to daddy's pancakes. hashtag lifeisgood.

lisa and i took our moms to see peter pan at the threesixty today. too cute!

followed by some forever yogurt, of course. fab sunday. :)

i've been doing lots of boating this summer.

random outing and chicago scene party pics.

liz and i have been coming up with clever ways to outsmart the chicago monsoon weather.

i found out last week that one of my besties got engaged!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH KICKBALL LOVE!

Sunday Night Confessional

we decorated! i'm obsessed with christmas.

i'm also obsessed with damnyouautocorrect.com.

it made me laugh so hard at work that i cried. i literally had to get up and take a walk.

currently watching the princess and the frog and loving it.

even though i should be sleeping.

Sunday (Monday) Night Confessional

rowan's 1!!!

her bday was friday so we had a little party for her at nicky & karen's on saturday. i just love my family. :)

it snowed like CRAZY here this weekend.

it was our second snow this year (first was on december 1st and it was practically nothing), and we got 4+ inches. looking like a winter wonderland out there...

margaux's 17th bday is in a week! umm...

that makes me feel really old.

she and i went to see harry potter the other night.

yeahh.

on that note - eclipse came out on dvd saturday.

i thought about buying it more than once this weekend.

i'm seriously obsessed with marcel.

she sleeps inside coffee tables and curls up in hoodies.

Flashback Friday

9-5 work days

i miss them.

i have to work this weekend because of black friday. i'm actually at work right now...

i've never worked on a weekend before, and i really don't recommend it. that probably has more to do with the fact that i've been here since 5am though.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
