What a weekend!
Friday after work I went out to Chipotle with Emily, her brother, Ben, and Jon. As usual, Chipotle was delicious and I was able to get two meals out of it.
On Saturday we had the open house-- what an intense day! Several of us gave two tours back-to-back, each group consisting of about 40 people. Needless to say by the end we were all sweaty (it was about 85 and REALLY humid) and voiceless. It was fun, though, and kids came as far as Sweden and California!
After the open house, I headed back up to the north side to meet up with Jon. Once together, we got on a bus to head up to the Metro. We passed Wrigley Field along the way, which was the first time I've ever seen it in person. Our excursion to the Metro is also the furthest north I've been in Chicago. Anyway, we were early, so we headed over to a Subway to get some dinner. After we ate (and it was delicious, too, I might add) we went into the Metro. Jon saw a ton of people he knew from work and the studio, so he was being all social while I watched. The lineup (from openers to headliners) went: Lookout! Giants, A Kidnap in Color, Minus the Girl, Dormlife, and finally ending with Amrita. It was a really good show of all local bands, and I REALLY liked the venue. Jon and I are going to try to head back to the Metro on the 8th to see Cute is What We Aim For with Danger Radio.
On Sunday morning Shea, Ellen, and I went to church. After the service, Jon and I went out to lunch with Josh and about 6-7 other people. We ate at Dunlay's in Logan Square and it was SO good. After we ate, Jon and I headed back to his apartment. Lunch was so long we actually didn't get back til about 4. Once we were back, we headed back out to go to Lincoln Park Zoo. Unfortunately, everything was pretty much asleep at that point. We watched the sea lions for about fifteen minutes (they were one of like four animals throughout the whole zoo that were awake) and walked around for about 20. We headed back out of the zoo and got popsicles on the way. Once we got back to Jon's he grabbed some laundry and we went back to my place.
We both did laundry and just hung out with Shea. Nicole came over and we made edible play dough (Equal parts dry milk, creamy peanut butter, and honey). I just ate it, but Nicole and Shea played with it.
And now it's Monday. Monday always comes far too quickly. I'm supposed to go to Margaret's house tonight. She offered to give me a bike for free because she has a couple of spares in her basement that she doesn't use. We just need to clean it up and re-paint it, so I'm planning on using a bright color, such as hot pink or lime green!
Tomorrow night I'm going to the movie in Grant Park (I think it's Blue's Brothers) to meet up with my community group from church. It should be lots of fun.
Wednesday and Thursday I'll just be packing and getting ready to go back to Ohio. I am SO excited to head back.
Expect a blog tomorrow (in theory).
