She's Loves Him, She Loves Him NotAnd, no, they don't mean missing. She moved out. I mean... I can imagine that a guy like DP has a lot of baggage... and possible homicide charges... and that can't be easy.Is it appropriate to say, "you go, girl?!"I said ...

The Counter
Although Social Media-phobe may have had small -uncalled for- melt down last night... prior to doing so, he picked a fabulous dinner spot: The Counter.Never had I ever been to this gem, which sits between Matisse (love it!) and the million random mattress stores located on Diversey in Lakeview/Lincoln Park.I loved the low key, yet trendy, atmosphere....

Blog Mafia
I found the crazy.It started as a casual conversation about how my brother bought me an Ipod for Christmas because he actually read my blog (shout out to Pat, in C-bus!!)... He replies, "You have a blog?!?!?!"He laughs for a long... awkward minute. First it started as a condescending-type laugh. Like, "Who would write a blog? What a lame idea! ha!"... and then... As if he could hear my thoughts (I was mentally starting this blog in my head)... the once-condescending laugh turns a bit nervous......

Dating in the Second City....
The first date. Like testing the water in the hot tub to make sure you don't burn your toes before you can actually enjoy the experience.There are perks to first dates. Both of you can blindly believe the other is perfect. You can pretend that they possess all the positive traits of your exes and absolutely none of the negative.There are also realities...

Love on the Blogosphere
Every so often you get the random e-mail requesting that you deposit 1 million dollars into your checking account... you delete the e-mail and move forward with your day. This morning, though, I got a random love letter from a rando from some other country. And it is so ridiculous it kind of made my day...Totally blog-worthy.Enjoy (and feel free to respond to him if you're looking for love! :))Hello Dear,How are you today?hope fine,if so thanks be to God almighty. my name is khadi 26 years of age...

Change is in the Air....
Today was all about change... so, in honor of the inauguration and New Years' resolutions and whatnot, I've decided to make a few changes of my own. On THIS day... hereby hear me promise America (and all 10 of you who follow my blog):I will stop complaining about Chicago weather. I'll suck it up and get over it... and continue to silently book trips to Cancun and Fort Meyers until May.I will promise all those in my bikram class that I will never again eat three hours before class... so they...

Something's Gotta Give...
Do you ever have one of those days/weekends where you really start to think the stars are not aligned for you? That the bad luck fairy made an extra special visit for you?That was this weekend.Friday I had plans to go to happy hour. Although after waiting 10 minutes for the bus (and then not being able to feel my legs), I decided Netflix and a bubble bath was a lot more appealing. I woke up Saturday and my weekend was off to a good start. I got up early, ate breakfast and decided to go to an...

Why do we live here?
Why do we live here?I have NO idea.Will be on Craigslist the rest of the day pricing out apartments in San Diego. For real.If you're particularly optimistic and would like to remind me why I picked the coldest city in America to love and live in... please do.Stay wa...

Theater OR Theatre?
Question: Do you build a theater? But GO to the theatre? Meaning, do you spell "theater" when you're talking about a building, but "theatre" when you're talking about the arts? I'm sure a simple Google search could answer that question... but alas, it's time to go to bed... So, tonight I went to the theatre.... and remembered, again, how much...

A Reason to Sweat...
Instead of huddling inside and hibernating until summer, this year, I'm taking Chicago winter by the balls. Full throttle. War time. In addition to Santa bringing me the warmest boots and coat available... I bought a monthly membership to Bikram Yoga Chicago on Clark Street.Outside it may be 3 degrees (-7 wind chill), but inside the bikram studio temperatures...

Faux-Bias?!
As a city-dweller, there is a lot I am randomly, and sometimes irrationally, scared of... Getting beat up at 5 p.m. while running just so someone can steal my Ipod. Getting flashed by perverts on the bus/El. Terrorists attacking downtown landmarks that surround my office building. Food poisoning at the Weiner Circle. More than 10 striped shirt guys in one bar. Valid concerns. Valid fears. So given that I'm, for the most part, a rational person, I've never understood people who are scared of relationships....

My-So-Called...
In 1995 when My-So-Called-Life went off the air, I bought a t-shirt rallying the efforts to bring it back on the air. 14 years later, I bought the DVD set. OMG... 14 years later. I can't believe I can even say that... and, now, I have some new observations on this show that I practically worshipped as a pre-teen...Why does the main character, Angela, always act like she's high?? Awkward and shy is one thing... acting completely strung out and manic depressant is another...Jordan Cadalano is STILL...

Cancun, Anyone?
The HIGH temperature next Tuesday is -3 degrees F.Is it a coincidence that I've decided to book my May trip to Cancun this week???In circumstances such as this, I WISH meteorologists would lie or just not tell the truth. Who wants to hear that kind of information five days in advance?? It's like finding out the date your going to die (ummm.. kind of). No one needs to know.Sometimes ignorance can be bli...

New Years Resolution Flop
It's January 7. My New Year's resolution was to make my crazy hairball cat lose 1 pound. Just one...However...turns out, in just a couple weeks, she went from crazy cat to INSANE cat on a diet.Given that I have a cold that even Sudafed Nighttime won't help, last night I did not appreciate getting woken up not once, but TWICE, by little nails scratching at my nicest piece of grown-up furniture. Once at 3 a.m. Once at 5 a.m.Of course she doesn't choose to scratch the hand-me-down end table that I've...

Things That It's Okay to Lie About...
CNN posted an article today. "Things that it's OK to lie about." My favorites include: That the reason for your bags is not, in fact, that you were out late partying but that you were up late reading "Twilight"That you don't know all the lyrics to Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love To You..."This got me thinking... there are a few others they forgot. That you would have no idea how to cook certain foods from SCRATCH... like spaghetti sauce (they grow in jars from Italy, right?) or cookies (they don't...

Things I Would Not Do If I Were a Bachelor Contestant...
There are certain shows I love to hate... and the Bachelor is a contender for the #1 slot. Right next to the Hills. And every season, as the new chicas strut out of the limo, there are often times I think, I would never do that... so here's my list. Inspired by years of torture and ABC-inspired love. If I were a contestant on the Bachelor, I would...

Play Hard... Pay Hard...
New Years Eve. You get together with your closest friends to get smashed to either celebrate the past year... or celebrate that it's over. Everyone clinks their glasses together at midnight and vows to be a better person the next year. You drink a bottle of wine and glass of champagne... maybe take a shot or two. You have a dance party until 4 a.m. Snap dozens of pictures and have a blast. Then you wake up. Sometimes in your same clothes as the night before. You realize, despite last night's...
