OMG SHOES!

So I have a new job. Its downtown and in the same field which makes me happy. I'll take pictures when I start on monday. Its right by the lake and I can take the train to get there which is awesome. Anyway more on that at a later time.

Well Matt finished school for this session and we have been celebrating like rock stars. One night we finished off a 12pk each and a little bit of run. And this is what happened. Matt shoved me which he doesn't remember so don't think I just fell like this. lol.
Yeah pretty much a self destructing night but oh so fun.

Yesterday we met up with a couple of Matt's friends at this Mediterranean restaurant. I wish I was hungry cause the menu was awesome but I didn't want to pay for a ton of food that I wouldn't eat. So i had this chicken and rice soup and a big Greek salad. It was yummy. But the best part were the 3 dollar martinis. I had 3 each different and it was yummie. Everyone else had entrees and it looked so good so I will have to go back when I can eat more. That's what I love about Chicago there are so many different places to eat and so far everything has been good. Love the variety.

After that we were going to meet a classmate of Matt's but we didn't want to go to the place she was at so we went to Sheffields but it started getting cold so went home to change and have some free beers. Then met up later with Jen at this really cool Irish Pub. They had a live local band and met a lot of people. It was a fun night and I didn't slap anyone of fall into a wall. I'll tell that story another day.

Anywho, that's about it. I'm just excited about starting work monday, pride is this weekend, and just going to have as much fun as I can. Oh and I found a new fav beer. Its a local brew called 312. Its really good and not to expensive. Well guess that's my update. So enjoy. BLAH!

Sun, Wind and Rain. That pretty much sums it up.

Well its been a bit so I figured i would do an update. Well a couple of weeks have passed and still no job but I've been meeting with people and just applying to any job right now. I have some good leads but I need a job soon so I either will start working at this clothing store called Ragstock or the Doggie Daycare which are both right by my house. It might not be much but its something for the time being. Matt is almost done with school for this part so after Tuesday he will be home more which will be fun. But anyway.

Well Friday my parents came to see me and to take the truck back to Oklahoma. Its nice that i don't have to worry about it anymore. Parking really sucks here and I didn't want to pay for a space when the whole time I've been here I drove it once and that was just probably 100 ft to a new spot. But the parents flew in Friday morning and I drove it to their hotel and we jumped on the train to get into the city. It was a fun day and my parents just loved it. I had a meeting with a recruiter that day so once we got downtown i left them in the park for a bit but then we got back took the train to my house so I could changed and showed them where i live. After that we went back downtown and went to the Navy Pier. My dad wanted to stop to rest cause by that point we probably had walked 5 miles or so in 2 hours. And we rested under this tree so he could take his shoes off. It was funny and I wish I took a picture but forgot. He was just in heaven. The wind was blowing he had his feet in the grass it was just really funny. So after that pier we went another million miles to Gino's to have Chicago Style Pizza. I like it a lot but my Dad thinks his deep dish pizza is better. I guess they are both good just depends on the style of crust. But anyway it was a good stop to get inside and rest up a bit before heading down to Millennium Park.

The day was good. A little hot but the wind was blowing and that helped. There were a lot of people out for a Friday. I guess I figured people were still at work but maybe not. Anyway, went down to the rose garden that my mom loved. It smelled so good. Almost got run over by a Segway tour. It was really funny cause it was about 10 people all on segways and they just swarmed around us. One guy said watch out. Where the baddest Chicago gang you'll ever meet. I was just like...uh you are a dork.

After that we went to see the fountain. Buckingham I think it is called. I saw it when it was under 4 ft of snow so it was cool to see it when there was water in it and not just this thing that you couldn't really see. Its huge that's all I have to say.

Well the day ended and we walked back to the Blue Line stop. We hugged and well I kind of cried. I love my parents and I'm so glad they could visit. We had a great day together and they made it back to Norman safe and sound Sunday. Hope they get to visit again soon.

Well not much else has happened. I've meet a few cool people. This once guy Todd who I met off myspace is really cool. We think so much alike and we just hit it off from the start. Not really looking to date him. I don't know the whole concept of dating right now just is weird. Its only been 3 years since me and brad broke up but I don't know. I feel like it would be a full time job and I don't know if I'm really ready to be dating again. I just want to have fun with cool people and if something naturally comes out of it great.

Well that's my update. Take it of leave it.

Chow!

Update: More pics

So Far So Good!

Well I'm here and started some work to make a little cash. Nice I got up at 4am for the first time in forever. But really i wasn't all that tired and felt good. I just was excited to ride the train and then be in DownTown. Its interesting to see what it looks like when you are down there before anyone else is awake. Almost a ghost town. And peaceful.

Well I was doing this promo for McDonalds and since i've worked at Disney and having to wear a outfit that really make you feel stupid I was confortable and really didn't care. The other people there were really nice and the job itself was sooo easy. We were handing out coupons as people got off the subway for iced coffee. You didn't even have to push it people just reached out and you handed them it. Since I've also worked for PDC and worked at some of the conferences I was already used to talking to people. One thing i have to say is everyone here seems so nice. They were all "Have a good day". It was really nice.

I didn't take a lot of pictures cause i'm still trying not to look like i'm new to the city and just a dumb tourist. But tomorrow i'll take more. Maybe even show you my wonderful outfit i have to wear. But this was a picture before i started and its blurry cause i was walking but it shows how empty the city was at 5am.

Well anyway we finished about 7:30 and went and got coffee at ... no other McDonalds. And then i got on the train around 8:10 and was home by 9. I couldn't believe how easy it was so I think i'm going to sign up for the rest of the days cause not like I have anything else going on.

Well guess that is it. Not sure what i'm doing for the rest of the day but if its anything exciting I'll let you know. Cheers!

I'm here!

Well i'm going ot keep this short and I'll blog later. But I'm in chicago. I have some work coming up and getting money back from my old apartment. So things are looking good and i'm just so excited. But I'll go in more detail soon with pictures i hope. K that's the update. Cheers!

K this picture was my first night in chicago. I look like crap and that's because i was in a truck for 15 hours. So yeah, BLAH!
