I have had some long weeks in the past month. I haven't had much time to sit down and breathe. This weekend has been good though. Calm and fun. It has been full of birthday karaoke, hamburgers, good beers, a shopping trip, mini crab cakes, lounging in pajamas, watching community, and reading Strangers on a Train. Later we're going to Doug's parents' in the suburbs to watch hockey. Fun!

I went to the Chicago History Museum yesterday with a friend and it was so fun! I learned tons. I got a museum pass from the CPL so we got in for FREE! I love the library system here! I also bought four new books to read in the Museum store and they were all on sale. I will be going back soon because it seems like they have new exhibitions all the time. They have a couple free days now and then too. I LOVE museums. Working in one is my dream job. That or the Library of Congress.






The night before, we went to a really nice restaurant on the north side, Le Colonial. It was so delicious! I will be going there again for sure. The decor was 1920's French Vietnamese. So magical! It's so dark in there though so I couldn't take any pictures.



It was a good weekend! And it's not even over! I love living in this city!


I took all these pictures with my phone too! Pretty good, eh?
