Oh so brief recap

Wet leaves (1)

I had an awesome time back in Chicago this weekend. Several times, partially due to lack of sleep, I forgot where I was - like I couldn't get my head straight on where I lived and where I visited. It was funny when I went back to work and people did double takes after giving me a passing, "Hello," because they remembered too late they didn't see me around any more. It doesn't help that my cube still has my name on it.

I have such an amazing group of friends. They are all inspiring, and I needed my gabfests with them, oh did I ever. And excellent, soul-soothing conversations were had. Sharon and I got up early Saturday (ie: dawn) and went shooting around Navy Pier. I got to use her new Yashica Mat. I hope my roll turns out! Photos will be up when I get them developed.

I got my hair cut with the fabulous Amie. Long-time readers of this space know that I am a renowned stylist floater. I could never commit. Until now. She and I went to high school together, though we didn't know each other too well, and we've reconnected and I was totally giddy to see her again. We have great gossip sessions and my hair looks better after each of our appointments! Huzzah!

I hung out with all of my people, which is what I wanted. I'll post some more later. I've got a take home midterm to write and some stats extra credit I need to get on stat! (Oh, such sad humor. That class has sucked my soul away.)

I am moving to Chicago. Unlike Boston -- you can make friends there.

Claire, Amy, Annie, et.al.: RoD needs you. We need to support NIH and ask for the over-ride on Bush's science hating veto. All it takes is a click on the Mitzvah post and your address. They do the rest.

Don't hate. It's for the polar bears and Fish!
