Wait really? 3..2...1... internet black hole there goes my productive work morning

my boyfriend and I argue over sell-by dates on the regular; I’m much more relaxed and see it as a “suggestion”, he wants to toss something that expired the day before. I usually win. We love JO and watch the show regularly, so I felt very vindicated last night :)

SO true. I used to laugh about the crazy things my dementia and stroke patients did. Now I laugh about the insane things my kiddos do at my new job. You have to laugh about it, or you’ll never survive.

haha yeah they don’t allow that so much. We got “lucky” in that there was a massive blizzard the day of our event so half the people didn’t show up. Much more penguin time that way.

I mentioned this below but: Adler After Dark! Adults only! Alcohol! Space!

Adler After Dark is pretty fun too. Every third thursday :)

Wednesdays. Look it up. We always end up spending WAY too much bc it’s like $9 per tiny alcoholic beverage, but it’s really a good time.

We did the penguin one! SO great!! The little guy just wanders around and side eyes everyone.

There was another one about 10 years ago; two kids at home that just disappeared. No one knows what happened to them. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/07/06/bra…

Have you been to Jazzin’ at the Shedd? They stopped doing promotions for it so I haven’t been in a couple summers, but it’s one of my favorite things. Drinking and looking at cool fish, jazz on that gorgeous terrace and then fireworks over navy pier...

that shit is not a joke and is very real. Beware, Chicagoans that think that a higher-floor apartment is better. They just get bigger.

First, this reminds me of my terrible healthcare job where they blamed you for “not caring enough” (not picking up inappropriate patients) and wouldn’t let you take vacation because “you’re letting down the team”. I’m in a different field now.

oooh yeah there’s tons in the Loop. Plus, if you have a job that lets you, you could totally go to a class on your lunch break. I work for the schools so I do not have such options. Except for, you know, in the summer which is like a super extra long lunch break.

also in Chicago; I thought the same thing when I looked at where the studios were located. If you live in River North? Tons of studios nearby. But up here in North Center? There’s a couple, but you’ll have to travel if you want to go to a bunch of different places.

I really, really thought this was going to be about those people on the train that listen to their music loud enough that everyone can hear it through their headphones (PSA THIS IS SO BAD FOR YOUR EARS) and then start singing out loud, as though they think some major music producer is going to discover them while they…

Haha yeah it sounds like your guy is just a douche-nozzle. My bro and his wife only did it in the few months following their actual wedding because their “real” honeymoon was so delayed. And, I mean, it’s one thing to score a free drink at a hotel bar, or like access to the hotel lounge that they give to anyone with…

But the crashes! Holy shit the crashes. Though I swear I was going crazy listening to the announcers say “cobblestones” over and over.

that was my first thought. I actually said to my boyfriend “Wait when does this thing end? Not like, before Wednesday, right?”

Ugh Kristen Cavallari who cares (says the Bears fan)

I love this song. Though, admittedly, when I first heard it I thought it was Sheryl Crow.
