Free at last - Finals are over, I passed my classes, and I can do whatever I want with my free time through the end of September. I can't wait to get back to archery lessons this weekend, take off a little of this lazy/bad eating weight, and get some projects done around home that I've been putting off.
Old friends - My dear college friend, Colby, is home for a couple of weeks. A ton of the college crew went out to our favorite Logan Square dive bar and had drinks and caught up for the evening. These guys mean a lot to me and have pulled me through some really rough times and it was good to see them.
Mini break - Mom and I took a long weekend. All I wanted was to go somewhere outside of the city that had a pool (literally the only requirements I had). We checked into a hotel in Schaumburg, browsed at the mall, spent more money than we meant to at IKEA, swam in the pool, slept in super comfy hotel beds, and had a ton of good food. It was great to just get away from the city for a couple of days and do things I would never do at home (like eat cheesecake in bed).
The best pet sitters - I couldn't have gone last weekend if it hadn't been for the fabulously wonderful Dann and Elise, who took my little Penelope for the weekend. I am ever so grateful that I have friends who are willing to take my yappy princess into their home.
Pacific Rim - When I got home, Daniel and I finally made it out to see Pacific Rim. What a kick ass monster movie. Amazing monster vs robot fights, nerds with tattoos, strong female character that can beat the crap out of you, Ron Perlman....seriously, do you need any more reasons for it to rock? Many apologies for anyone around us in the movie theatre that was distracted by the Kermit-like arm flailing going on where we were sitting.
