Pour vous...

I found this the other day. It made me laugh and I know it will give those of you who have studied abroad in France a good laugh too!

Confession

Ok kids, I've put it off long enough.

Are you ready for my deep dark secret?

(Alright, it's not really a deep dark secret since half of you already know it, but I haven't publicly announced it.)


Are you sitting?


Or standing?


Holding a stiff drink?


Maybe you can half sit/half stand and hold a drink...





I am seeing someone!!!!
I really like him, he's really sweet. I hope you all get to meet him soon!

Falling leaves...not quite!

Fall is in the air.

Have you noticed?

It is wonderful!

I am getting so excited thinking about scarves, sweaters, hot chocolate, rust colored leaves, hot apple cider and crisp sunrises. I've been so excited about the arrival of autumn that I even bought skinny jeans to tuck into my tall boots. I have NEVER owned a pair of skinny jeans, but I do now! Wow, Chicago really plays with your sense of fashion! I also bought a pack of Samuel Adams Octoberfest Beer (it just seemed appropriate!!!)

The only thing Chicago doesn't have is that quiet walk from the Carriage House to the Academic Building with a steamy beverage in your hands and leaves to crunch underfoot the whole journey.

Somethings are just irreplaceable!

Happy Pre-Autumn!

Failure to Launch?

A little while ago Moi posted a link to this article. Then a few days after that I saw this clip on a morning show.

So what's wrong with not wanting to grow up too fast? Isn't it better to know who you are and what you want before you end up in a dead end career or marriage? People are living longer than ever. If you marry someone at 20 you could be stuck with them for 80 years!!!! Even if you madly love them, 80 years is a long time.

Plus, there is the matter of finding a good job. Do you know how awful the job market is right now? How are you suppose to "grow up" if you are getting paid the same wages as a teen?

I think these "adults" are just a bit jealous of this new trend. They pushed us to take our time and figure out what we want, and now that we are taking full advantage of it they are envious.

What do you think?

Anyhow, not much is new here. I'm sad that we are at the end of August. This summer just flew by! I hope you all have a wonderful September!

Club 300

This is my 300th post!!!!!!

Crazy, right?

It's hard to believe I started this blog over 2 YEARS ago! Let's take a look at some of the things that have happened over the last two years:

• I took an internship in DC, made some great friends, explored a great city and had a blast.
• Took a couple of road trips to Pittsburgh and throughout PA with some pretty awesome people.
• Moved back to MI.
• Found a "job"
• Moved to Chicago
• Signed a lease on my very first apartment
• Fell in love with a pretty cool city

Wow, in a two year span I lived in three different states!

I still feel directionless and have no idea what life has in store for me, but keeping an open mind and an open heart I know it will all work out.

Genius or Madness

I feel very connected to this guy.

I bet the people on the flight were awful, annoying, demanding, rude and inconsiderate.

Most people are.

I don't blame him one moment for wanting to get out of that plane ASAP.







I think maybe my job is making me jaded.

I hope something new, better comes along soon...

Blinded

I've lost my glasses.

Seriously, my apartment isn't that big! Where could they be?

I've checked under the bed, by the bed, in the bathroom, in the medicine cabinet, under the couch in my makeup bag and even in the kitchen.

Good thing I wear contacts during the day.
