7 reasons I'm weird...as if you didn't already know!
I've been tagged.
PinkPorcupine Knits tagged me with the 7 weird facts meme.
The rules: Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those who are tagged need to write on their own blog those 7 facts as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven other people and list their names on your blog. Then you leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and to read your blog.
1. I think that one of the strangest things about me is that I share a brain - almost literally - with someone who has become probably my closest friend even though I've only known her for 1.5 years. It's freaky! We have WAY too many random tihngs in common, sometimes she starts to ask a question and I answer it without hearing the whole thing (I LOVE that b/c it freaks her out). Anyway, it's just really scary...but hilarious!
2. I was voted "Most Likely to replace David Letterman" in my senior high school class of 343.
3. It seems I'm drawn to men with strange/outdated names...horses, men, you name it...
4. I fidget A LOT when I'm nervous or really bored. It drives people at work crazy in meetings. I cannot help it. I turn back and forth in a swiveling chair, I tap my toe, etc, etc, etc.
5. I blush A LOT. It happens a lot more when I'm nervous or anxious, but I blush a whole lot. Someone decided that it is so extreme it should be my X-Men power. One time, I blushed SO HARD that my arms turned red! It was pretty embarassing.
6. All of the ligaments in my major joints are too long or too stretchy. My knees bend a little bit backwards, my SI joint wiggles (the CREEPIEST feeling in the world), and I had to have surgery on a shoulder to tighten up the joint a few years ago.
7. Hmm...it's hard to think of a 7th. It shouldn't be b/c Steph and Marie are ALWAYS pointing out how weird I am and giving me lots of examples ;-). I can think of several I wouldn't put on here...but they'll stay secret! I know one - I have always thought it would be fun to be the one 'human' host on one of those singing children's shows. Wow - I've never told anyone that....
SO I tag Marie and I don't know who else (seems everyone else had done it). Looking forward to it, Marie :)

Long time, no post!
So I haven't been great at posting on here lately. I would apologize to all of my devoted readers...if I had more than 3 (2 of whom I see pretty regularly, and I shouldn't have to update them on my life via blog b/c they already know!!)
Anyway, so so so much has happened. I'm DONE DONE DONE with organic chemistry FOREVER!!! YIPPEE!! What a relief. That's the biggest thing...well at least the biggest thing I'll blog about!!
We had knit night last week - super fun. Erin and Kathy are working diligently on their vintage bubble bags, I worked on my Isabeau, and Marie worked on yet another pair of jaywalkers. Steph didn't knit a stitch, and Laura def didn't crochet ;)
The next day was Leadership Academy at the Catalyst Ranch. ALWAYS a great time to be had by all! Day after that - interview training in Rosemont. Both of these days included some of my favorite people that I work with, and so both days were great! :D
Tonight, I'm back in my home town. One of my closest buds from high school is getting married tomorrow, so it'll be a grand ol' time here in Ktown.
That should be enough to catch everyone up! I'll post more soon :)

I finally gave in....
I've finally given in to the call of the iPod. I just ordered mine - should be here in 3ish days. I'm pretty pumped. I have to admit - it was a bit of a self-pity purchase...yesterday wasn't great. BUT, I'm looking forward to having this in my car and being able to listen to podcasts over my radio, or just music I like, or whatever! Woo hoo! Thank God for bonus checks!!! :)

SOOOOO fun...
Yesterday was so so fun! I got up SUPER DUPER early, headed off to a great meeting (it started at 8 and was 1 hour and 15 min from my house...wow), then headed off to the Cubs game. We of course missed our turn to get to the train station, so we had to circle back to find it, but we made it just in time! I've only been on the el one other time, and this was no less of an interesting experience. We were total dorks and we used our phones down in the tunnels because OUR provider is the only one that works down there :) Anyway, the train ride down was nothing compared to the one back!!
We got to the game and met up with his aunt and uncle - they're so nice! We had a great time at the game (we accidentally offended this really obnoxious girl sitting right in front of us...she just sat there are stared at us all while we talked...not sure what her deal was). We grabbed a couple of beers and some (bad) hot dogs after the 2nd inning, then just went back to continue our stream of 'offensive' conversation topics ;-) The Cubs won! It got pretty close there at the end, but they did it anyway!
Then we headed back to the train station - what a nightmare right after the game! It was PACKED! I literally could not move once the doors of the train closed. Some punk on the train was pretty certain he was the only one who was smashed in the situation, and at every stop he would yell at the people waiting to get on, "there's no more #*$%in' room on the train!!". It was pretty hilarious. Maybe you had to be there...
We decided mid-train ride that we were hungry, so he knew of a place he wanted to stop...a pretty fancy place that was SO yummy. We caught the Derby from the bar in there on our way out...a pretty good race! I picked the winner, but then changed my mind right before the race...and lost all bragging rights. Oh well.
Back to the train for a much more civilized ride home. Lots of too too funny stories on the way home, then back to my car and off to my house.

Sigh...
Well I took my test this morning. I think it went well, but we'll see.
I came home and was a TOTAL bum! I didn't make it to the barn today...I hope he went outside. It's so nice out! Actually, I think I'm going to miss the first 30 min of class and take him outside to graze...yeah, that's what I'll do!!
First, I have to pack. We have a leader meeting tomorrow and Thursday in Lincolnshire. Thank God we get hotel rooms! That's a long drive! I have to drive there tonight after lab (my LAST LAB!!!!!) and meetings start at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I have to cut out 20 minutes early to make it to my final review session for my bio class, so I'm missing cocktails and dinner. Oh well....
Anyway, I am getting really far on my isabeau purse. I'm halfway through the seed stitch for the bottom of the purse. Then, it's 41ish more rows before I bind off! Then, I just pick up stitches and do the sides and add the handles. What a fast, easy, and fun project! It isn't boring so I'm really enjoying it!!
