Oops.
Huge accidental blog hiatus there.
As it turns out, I needed my summer to go out with a bang. Remember that whole, “I’ll sleep when it’s winter” claim I made? Well, I’m still holding onto it like a college kid to his Keystone Light.
My roommate and I are currently holding a competition to see who is home the least over the next month. She is a tax accountant and has to work long hours (legitimate excuse). I, on the other hand, am clearly on a kamikaze mission to eliminate all sleep from my life.
It’s good times. You should try it sometime*.
*You should also ignore every piece of advice I give you, especially if it involves the word “kamikaze”.
So, the last week has involved odd jobs (ie, babysitting), bookclubs (have another one tonight), belated birthday dinners (thanks, Amber!), outdoor concerts (Guster, I love you) and sports.
Lots of sports.
I went to my very first Bears game!
Through a very generous gift, my friend Chrissy and I were able to go to the Bears/Browns game last week- the last game of the preseason.
I had a skirt on and was complaining that my legs were sweating so much that I kept slipping off of the plastic seat. Not glamorous.
And yes, I caught myself- soon I’m going to be complaining that my skin is literally frozen so I shut my trap.
Mmm, fooooootball.
In other news, I organized a fantasy league for my office and had the draft today. I will only say that I am going to dominate the season and I am REALLY good at smack-talking my coworkers.
I also hit up another Cubs game over Labor Day weekend with Amy.
I’m sure you’re probably sick of hearing me talk about Cubs games by now, but this one was big.
And not because we beat the Pirates [again]. We all know the Cubs’ season is dead in the water.
It’s because this game marks the completion of my ONE GOAL for the summer: make it to 10 games at Wrigley.
Check.
Some might say that it’s sad that this was my only goal for the summer.
You know what I say to them?
That’s managing expectations, my friends.
And I am officially done for the season.
Unless of course, someone has Cubs tickets they want to give me.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
I love Guster 🙂
Me too. 🙂
You’re aliiiiiive:)
ok I really knew you were still alive because I talk to you on twitter, but yay for a new post!
I’ve never been to a Bear’s game! It’s high time to change that.
Still jealous about the Bears game! I’m a weenie when it comes to winter sports, so my main goal for the upcoming months is to make it to at least one Bulls game. It CAN be done. I just know it!
You show those office bitches who’s boss. You should incorporate calling them all bitches into your smack talk btw. Very effective.
*kamikazi
I actually said “Blam, bitches!” at one point. I think it’s important that they all see my real colors sooner than later.
As long as you are always aware the Packers can kick the Bears @ss, you can continue to go 😛
Ditto this.
There’s a lot of sports in this post eh? I think the last sporting event I went to was three years ago. Sad, but true.
Isn’t Soldier Field one of the most beautiful places on Earth?
Um….YES. Yes, it is. I never wanted to leave.
I can’t hear about the Bears without repeating that SNL skit in my head over and over, “Daaaa Bears”
Dude I’ve been doing part-time babysitting too…it sucks up a lot of time but you can’t beat the feeling of being handed a wad of cash for watching TV and feeding a mini-adult some mushy mac and cheese for dinner.
[…] Lucky for me, Colleen brought another friend into my life before she up and left us- Chrissy. […]
