i'm a girl of simple tastes

as for today, i like...

  • waking up to sunshine on a Friday morning and knowing i don't have to go to work
  • being out the door by 9:30 a.m., with Nikes on my feet, sunglasses on my head and a book in tote
  • reading by Lake Michigan until lunchtime (or in this case until i finish the book -- about three hours later)
  • walking back home with Grant Park, the Museum Campus, Soldier Field and Chicago's spectacular skyline as the backdrop (this is my neighborhood? seriously? a year and a half living in the city and it still feels new)
  • coming home to our airy loft
  • tossing some fresh pasta with avocado then rummaging through Tybot's studio for a bit
  • finding the perfect painting for our west wall
  • flipping through a design/architecture magazine (while admiring our view of the Sears Tower from the living room couch)
  • taking a two-hour nap
  • waking up just in time to walk back down Michigan and catch the last hour of Radiohead at Grant Park (yeeeeah- i got in!)


Tybot gets home from camping tomorrow -- i'm pretty excited about that too.

that also probably explains why i'm blogging on a friday night.

k,byeeee.

Sounds like someone had some time on her hands to start watching Battlestar Galactica. . . but it's probably good that you waited for Tybot to get back home. If you watch it without him he might cry.

. . . wait, what? You haven't rented it yet?! hmmmm. . . I might have to talk some sense into you a bit later.

Erin,

that sounds like an awesome day :) I miss Chicago soooo much and doing the things you just mentioned. Enjoy that freedom and those naps... especially the naps because once kids come into your life, it won't be the same.
