business casual

1. i'm wearing a dress to work today.

it was a last second decision while i looked despairingly at my pile of "to-iron shirts" draped over my computer printer. i concluded that i had not the time to even match a "to-iron shirt" with an "also-draped-over-my-computer-printer-pants," resulting in the dress (which my 1/2 mile walk from the el to the office thanked me for because it's damn hot out today.)

i need to clean my room.

2. the last two nights now, i've been experiencing a very strange sleep-pattern. i continually wake throughout the night to violently toss/turn myself the other way, twisting in my sheets, and throwing pillows, all the while, having weird vivid dreams that are uncomfortable, but not really scary or upsetting. it would seem that i don't sleep at all, but i'm still waking up before my alarm feeling like i got enough sleep. so odd!

i must be stressed out. i can think of a couple reasons why.

don't worry, they aren't big reasons.

summer interests

huh. it looks as though back in May, i was contemplating starting a blog, most likely under the influence of one of my blogging friends. i say this because apparently, i created an account in May, only i never posted to it.

so this is my first post.



but anyway, as promised in this blog's title...

i want someone to go with me to:
1. navy pier fireworks.
2. sox games (DONE!)
3. kumas (DONE!)
4. a chicago fire game (DONE...or, close enough!)
