ending the old year on the right foot
+ fun night out last night with my friends who came in town- having people come to visit makes me realize again how fun this city is.
+ woke up this morning at 7:30 am and… promptly called in sick to work and went to the UK alum bar in Chicago for a 2 hour Breakfast Buffet/Bottomless Mimosas pre game before 11 am tip off. Got there at 9:05 and got some of the last seats at the bar- dedicated UK...

+ my not-yet-unpacked suitcase can fester in the living room, wide open, for the foreseeable future
+ I don’t have to wear pants that often
+ there’s a lot more fridge space. and a lot less dishes to wash.
+ my jackets are casually scattered throughout the apartment and that’s not annoying
That’s all I have for now. This post was just as much to convince me that...

reflections from ten days at home
Worst feeling in the world is the first shower back at your apartment with less than adequate water pressure, after being spoiled by home showers.
Groceries cost (a lot of) money again? shit, i forgot.
I am long-enough removed from middle school and high school that I can see those people out at the bars and get through catch-up conversations with relative ease (although I guess the alcohol...

The inevitable has happened
Last night in a bar, a guy from middle school came up to me and told me he recognized himself from one of my diary entries on TuckersTales.net. Oh well, no shame here.
Just a sampling of my good decisions last night
+ Christmas sweater and clutch out to the bars (let’s be honest, it’ll probably happen again tonight)
+ found an eighth grade crush and convinced him our love was mutual (doubtful)
+ made friends sleep on the basement couches, sleepover style
+ slept in my “keep calm and put on your three goggles” shirt
+ made friends fall asleep watching the TLC documentary...

Silly little sister
When I got home last night around 3 am I crawled into bed with Rach and she sat up sleepily, said “Do you come here often?” and then fell back asleep… Yay to being in the same time zone!
Packing list for going out in Louisville tonight
Sequins
Cupcakes
Peppermint schnapps
Champagne
Yes, that will suffice.
just had my best idea ever
Cupcakes as chasers for peppermint schnapps shots (with the cupcake flavors being either chocolate peppermint, vanilla peppermint, eggnog spice, black and white, or red velvet).
I am an evil genius.

Feeling guilty for not reading much lately, despite my plethora of free time. Bring on the books for Christmas presents!
fate?
Just had a babysitting interview with a woman who has my DREAM job- travel editor for Forbes. You best believe I made faces at that kiddo and petted the cat like a champ. Working the connections for all I’ve got.

Exhausting weekend
+ lots of babysitting and cuddling with my new favorite two year old, plus a home cooked meal from the dad and the chance to use their laundry machine while catching up on top chef
- retail jobs are SOUL SUCKING at holidays
+ made bank this weekend and had a delicious vanilla peppermint cupcake today
- not enough sleep at all, plus weird eating and missing workouts makes me feel ICK
+ saw Ryan...
Just one of those days...
Where everyone in the world is driving me CRAZY except for my mom.
the perks of having a sister
Over the years, I’ve gotten quite used to the comments about how much my sister and I look alike. It didn’t even faze me when her second grade teacher spent an entire meal at the restaurant thinking I was Rachel, her former student. But today at J Crew in Chicago, I have to admit I was surprised when a tall teenage girl came up to me and asked if I was Rachel’s sister. We had...
