It’s a beautiful day in downtown Chicago - the perfect, gentle breeze, bounce in your step, sun warms your skin kinda day. I walked over to Logan’s office to spend his lunch break with him. We ventured out to find the bank, and while we couldn’t find the location we’d originally set out […]
So, I’ve always had a craving for the substance. I just can’t get enough. There’s the regular stuff, the light, the different flavors. Pick your poison. However, since relocating to Chicago and starting at Arc/Leo Burnett, my habits have increased by unhealthy proportions. I easily get my Coke fix on 6 times a day. And […]
As most of you know, Tito is not allowed to live with us while we’re in corporate housing, and we miss him terribly. Luckily, his Grandma Sara and Grandpa Tank are taking great care of him, and no doubt, spoiling him rotten, while he’s living with them in Indiana. For those of you […]
This past Saturday, Liz and I continued our date night series. We had heard so much about Chicago style hot dogs–heck, I even have a pair of boxers from Old Navy that are adorned with the phrase. So, we decided to see what the fuss was all about.
Proving that I’ve broken into another realm of […]
So, we decided to start the weekend off a little early, and headed down to Rocko’s for Thirsty Thursday. Grabbed a few drinks, and walked to Dylan’s Tavern, less than 50 steps away. Had a great time. The highlight of Dylan’s was when a young couple got engaged a few tables away […]
So, I had Liz take me to this DSW down the street because I needed new shoes for work that were comfortable for walking. It’s only a tad over a mile, but come on, you people know me. I felt defeated after browsing aisle after aisle of bland casual dress shoes. Out of the corner […]
Earlier this week, I had my first Megabus experience. I caught the bus at Union Station, which is about 2 blocks from our place, checked in and found a seat. I was really grateful to have my own double seat bench, and totally stretched out and took advantage. Stopped right outside of Indianapolis […]
For the first time since being in Chicago, I got to see the American Idol performances tonight. Last week, I tuned in with about 7 minutes remaining, because I forgot about the switch the Central Time.
Tonight’s theme was Latin music, with the contestants being coached by Jennifer Lopez. I would make a snide remark here, […]
This past Saturday, we thought we’d venture out to find our local Target store. Shouldn’t be that hard, right? I mean, we can see from our window. So, we did a quick Google Map search, and of course, thought we could find a better way on our own, because, well, we can see it. We loaded up the satchel, […]
I think that holidays are always going to be a little more rough than any other day when being away from home. Yesterday was rough–at least for me. I’m used to everyone being at mom’s on Easter, eating dinner together, and opening the Easter baskets left by whoever’s turn it is in the rotation (my […]
