4.65 Miles in Orange Crocs?

Apparently yes. Does the fact that they are orange matter? No, but it does make for a better blog post title.

So yesterday after getting of the train, I walked to Monk’s where Jason was waiting. We had some errands to run so we decided to just eat there before heading out. Go figure I got [...]

Chicago 4/15/08

I love this city. This city that I call home, have called home for most of my life and probably will call home for the rest of my life. I have lived in Chicago and the surrounding areas for 22 years. The other 6 years were spent only 4 hours away in Bloomington, Indiana which [...]

Another Weekend Roundup

Well given that I haven’t posted since Thursday…here we go.

Thursday night we went out for drinks at Monk’s with a guy from Jason’s work which was super fun. Jason and I both had about 6 beers too many but whatever, it was a good time. Apparently if I’m not a marathoner I just drink too [...]

So True

This is from PhD comics one of the funniest sites for those of you in PhD programs….so many of the comic strips are so true and so funny. I mean they are funny anyways, but you really “get it” if you are in a physics program especially.

Who’s this "Jason" fellow

Alright, so I’ll admit that it’s been awhile since I posted on this site. I’m pretty sure it’s been since Leah abandoned me for the Caribbean, but I’d rather not consult the archives to find out. Suffice to say, it’s been awhile. But I really want to remedy that, even if only to make sure [...]

Too Much Stick

And by Stick…I mean….The Stick…you know for rolling out sore muscles. The dude at the Athletico suggested that I get one. And so I did…and I love it and using it on my calf muscle and whatever. I woke up this morning and I was like, perfect, now that hurts too.

No one wants to be [...]

Achilles Tendonitis

So because I am insane and I have to know everything RIGHT NOW. I canceled lunch with my friend and got an earlier appointment at Athletico. It’s what I thought it was, just a case of achilles tendonitis. He gave me some things to do and of course rest and ice and blah [...]

Sushi?….Maybe!

Yesterday to celebrate the birthday of one Mr. OutOfShapeGuy we stayed downtown after my commute from the burbs. I had originally planned on taking the train that got into downtown around 6pm. That plan was still in place, but I had decided to leave my office early and work on my thesis edits at a [...]

Basketball and I’m Not Talking About It

So last night was so super fun. We went over to those crazy Jayhawks place to watch the final game and to cheer on the Jayhawks to the national championship. “But wait,” you ask yourself, “you are not a Kansas fan or have any stock in them”. To which I reply neither of which is [...]

More Ernie Banks

As my husband is the more talented (read : hilarious) writers in this little family, check out his recap of the wine evening with Ernie Banks at Goatriders.
