This past Sunday was probably one of my laziest days on record. Seriously. I watched more crappy TV than one person should in a day. That did not even the Super Bowl, we skipped it this year. I watched the Chris Rock movie Good Hair, must say I learned a lot. Who knew there was…
The Force
This Superbowl ad has been all over the web this week, likely most people have seen it. The four year-old hasn’t tired of it yet and is pretty excited to see it on “our TV”. He keeps asking me to re-play it on my laptop and his laugh is just as loud each time. A…
Snow Day Party
Things are back to normal after our snow days. The kids went back to school, the adults commuted to work (well everyone but me), all in time for the weekend to begin again. Snow days as an adult are not what they used to be, not when you are always connected to work. While I…
An Answer
Guess this answers my question about where the next mayor of Chicago stands on the food trucks in Chicago. Though the food truck scene seems to moving forward despite the current restrictions. New trucks are popping up all over the place. Rahm has a few other food related items on his agenda, mostly surrounding make…
Bacon Fat Popcorn
We got a little bit of snow here in Chicago and with it came a few days of pause to the regular routine. Tuesday was already a planned day off to take the ten year-old to get braces. Well, the top braces anyway. She was pretty excited to get them on, and they have not…
It’s the Weekend. Weekend Recap, Anyway.
Getting back to work this week is almost a nice break (almost), we had an extremely busy and fun weekend. Friday night kicked it off with happy hour at Public House. It is clear by the crowd there that work neighborhood is long overdue for a spot like this. They have a great beer list…
Friday Flapping
It is another cold day in Chicago, only a few more months of Winter. Though I have to say it isn’t as bad as it could be, the river hasn’t frozen completely. Not yet. There is a warm up in the forecast this weekend, maybe even above freezing. I sure hope so because at this…
Reading in the New Year
Reading more is one of my action items for the year. Listening to books counts too, I have found audio books to be a great distraction from the horrid boredom on the treadmill. Really my ultimate goal is to reduce my screen time (laptop, BlackBerry, TV). Usually I have a long list of books I…
Football Fare {Buffalo Wing Dip}
Big game in Chicago Sunday, Bears and the Packers. An exciting game for the football world! Gotta give it to the fans that are going to go out and brave the frigid temps to watch the game. I am glad I will be watching it in the warmth of a friend’s house. I’ve been to…
Sexiest Meatloaf Alive!
Not so much alive, but still ya gotta admit it is fine looking. The husband was traveling all week and requested meatloaf for dinner. Poor thing has been eating out all week. 😉 I was happy to oblige, anything to keep the oven going. Our kitchen is a bit chilly in the back, open the…
