Things I Love Friday Edition

Colbediah - My dear friend Colby made a very short weekend trip to Chi-town for a wedding but he still made sure to get the Milli-crew together for drinks at Whirlaway with the inestimable Maria behind the counter. It was great to see my boys and it's sad that we've started to grow so busy and far apart.

Nerd night - I finally got to see Iron Man 3 and the Agents of Shield finale (and the Agent Carter one shot). A lovely evening in with Aaron and he doesn't hate me even if I did manage to lock us out on the balcony and have to climb back in the apartment through the window.

Pasta class - It's certainly not news to anyone that I've been taking cooking classes at the Chopping Block. Last class was homemade pasta. I never want to eat that crappy boxed stuff again. Also, the teacher insisted I sign up for her June pie making class.

Burlesque - Ridgely, Michael, Kat, Colin, and I made a trip to the Debonair Social Club for their weekly burlesque show (different line up every week). It was a fun night of lovely ladies and I got to see my pal Trixie Sparks on stage for the first time.

Sleeping with the window open - Sunday night was a lovely treat. Being able to sleep with the window open and wake up early to the sounds of the city and a beautiful 56 degree breeze was one of life's simple pleasures.

Hair cuts - I got one. It was long overdue. It looks so much better now. Oh and Dan actually approved of my hair color which never happens.

My supervisor is retiring - Did I mention this already? I could not possibly be more psyched for July 11th.

A day in the burbs - Sunday I spent the afternoon in the burbs with an adorable man in a bow tie. My friend Zach and I had intended to visit the Blue Box Cafe in Elgin but apparently it's closed on Sundays. Instead we swung down to the Elgin Public House, had surprisingly amazing food and Angry Orchard cider before I had to leave for the train. Bow ties are cool.

A surprise dinner companion - Last night, on my way to run errands before a night in of cleaning and packing, I happened to look to my right and see my friend Travis headed into La Tacorea. So I got some fantastic company for dinner and some super tasty Korean tacos.
