work jerk
Lets recap...mostly because I don't want to forget about this weekend....
Friday- worked all day left work, showered, left around 5ish and stopped at the aurora outlets and bought new jeans. fabulous jeans from The Gap. Arrived in Chicago around 7ish and met James. We walked to dinner at Girodianos down the street. amazing pizza (but I had it before- I just pretended to be a deep dish virgin). We walked around for about an hour to so before heading back to his apartment. Played with the cutest dog evvverrr. Molly! she's a puggle and adorable. we took her for a long walk and he showed me all these condos I could never afford. The rest of the night I read and watched the skyline from the guestroom windowseat. basically decided that I needed to move there because it was the happiest I felt in weeks.
Saturday- 7am wakeup call from Molly....she was super excited to see me when she woke up...a little too excited. went back to bed and got up at 8:30ish to get ready. Took James to target and then continued on to the aquarium. Found our way there after taking a long detour down lakeshore dr. paid 15$ for parking but quickly realized it was right nest to the charter one pavillion and load in was happening....got all touristy and took pictures. Walked along the shore to the aquarium and spent all morning at the museums and aquarium. ate lunch and then walked to grant...listened to music for awhile and talked to people about New Orleans. Walked to Milennium Park and creepily took pictures of babies in diapers running in the water. Sat and people watched for a little and then walked back to Grant. funtimes. Pretty much exhausted.
Went back to Jame's and got ready for the wedding....which we arrived late too...saw an old professor! hah! and proceeded to wander oak park on my own...read a book in the park for about an hour till the reception was over. We made it an early night and just went to Emmitts pub from there- I finally parked the car and we got food and talked about me moving there....and the actual reality of getting a job next year. we'll see.
Sunday- basically consisted of gay softball league games and dog beaches...read a lot and truly had a relaxing time with the gay men's population of chicago. I enjoyed that the teams were named...The Slammers, The Drillers, and The Bush Men....kind of made me giggle.
Loved this weekend...and I can't wait to go back...
My family feels otherwise about me moving here....but tbh...i don't care.
My roommate won't leave me be...she complains a lot....and talks about her boyfriend...alllll the time. living and working together is a bad mix...not even happy about it. her boyfriend sounds like a tool anyways and I tld her that....apparently she likes his "tool" like qualitities. whatever.. I try not to roll my eyes too much.
I also enjoy the silence at work sometimes...just music and silence....she does not...she likes to sing along (the wrong words I might add) and talk...a lot....sometimes I feel like I'm a non-funny episode of the office.
i'm being summonned by the boss lady.
