2011- a few weeks late
1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? celebrated christmas in florida WITH mike, got married ♥, hosted thanksgiving at our house, won a baking contest! (woo hoo!), experienced a chicago heat wave and a chicago blizzard, turned 25 (eeep!)
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? yes, i’m still on the drinking water train, but...

I just found Wes Welker’s home address by doing some mortgage banker snooping. I’m just going to go ahead and fill out the restraining order for him.
Your next order of business is to find Eli Roth’s address.
…You should also just go ahead and add Edgar Wright, Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Quentin Tarantino and Kurt Russell to the list while you’re at it.
And then...

blah.
that’s how i feel about halloween this year. i have no motivation or inspiration for making a costume. and i LOVE dressing up. the costume i was working on is a mess, so i’m thinking about just not doing it and just being the girl at work with the halloween cookies, but no costume. I usually love halloween; i don’t know why this year seems so lame to me.

unfortunately for you, my blog is not about making it seem like everything is great and exciting in my life. at some points planning a wedding...

lesson learned
two fridays ago after a horrible work week i agreed to hang out with chris, a photographer friend i work with, and go see a show. i tried like four times to get out of it- i’m more of a pj’s and movie watching person when it comes to relaxing after a shitty week- but he wouldn’t let me say no.
i’m so glad i ended up going! sometimes i get so sick of the city because all i...

three years
i guess because i was so delighted and weirded out by this amazing weather we’ve been having i neglected to mention that october 5th marked my third year in chicago. i sorta decided to move here on a wimp, but it would seem it worked out for me. in three short years i moved here from florida, got a real job, met a guy, lost a best friend, bought a house and got married. not too bad, huh?
