1. My mom and 3 of my aunts are having a girls road trip up to Chicago to visit their respective daughters, some of which are also traveling into the city as a meeting point. If you live in Chicago and feel the weird shift in crazy, no worries- it’s just us.
2. My cousin requested Italian the night before our Sunday race (5k for me, half marathon for her). I love going to a nice Italian spot and enjoying a fabulous glass of wine. But funny thing- one of my favorite types of wine is sauvignon blanc. However, I rarely order it in a restaurant because “sauvignon” is a word I simply cannot seem to say. Chardonnay it is…
3. Has anyone watched “Adam Richman’s Best Sandwich in America” on the Travel Channel? I’m hooked. And I now need to go to The Fifty/50 to try their showcased sandwich. It involves wafflized mac and cheese. On the sandwich.
I’ve been to this bar before. Their vodka is exceptional. But now, I’m all about THE SANDWICH.
4. There’s a little feeling of regret in how I named the blog post today. My friend Mon often refers to her lady parts as her “lady bits” and it really grosses me out. Right up there with the word “moist”. Shudders all around.
5. The new job (started this week) is going great! I very very much miss my old coworkers. However, people in my new office are nice and I’m already on a project! It’s intimidating and scary. But in a good way.
6. My roommate is completely to blame for me getting sucked into this season of Teen Mom on MTV. No idea how she did it. But I feel as if I’m digressing as a person.
7. After a few days of my new life as a public transit commuter, it seems I’ve added a little more than a mile of walking to my daily routine. This makes me oh so happy. The commute isn’t as comparably shorter as originally thought, but I’m not sad because I spend that much time getting to be active. Because for reals, guys- who couldn’t use a little more movement in their day?
8. Time to walk out the door and get to work. Because there are important things to do before an office-wide hacky sack and coffee break. Yep. You read that right. This is my life now.
Happy Friday, kiddos!

I wish I could take public transportation to work. I think the people watching would make the time fly by!
And hacky sack? Ummmm……….awesome.
I am glad the new job is going well so far…not that I ever doubted that it would.
HA, I just discovered that Adam Richman show this week and I totally want to go to Fifty/50 now too! Although I feel the like sandwhich would be better if the waffle-ized mac and cheese was the “bun.” I wonder if they do special requests.
You cannot miss out on the pretzel roll! They’re my favorite!!!
Um NO. I call them Goodie Bits. Get your facts straight. There IS a difference. And honestly, I got the term from Danielle about five years ago. So I can’t take all of the credit. Now Simon, who does chalk drawings, does refer to his parts as Bits and Pieces, so I can see with all of these Bits how one could get confused.
Well excuuuuuuuse me! :p
The walking is fun now, but come winter not so much.
shhhh…. don’t spoil it for me. I’m still living in the “ignorance is bliss” stage.
Oh man, I need that sandwich. Not want. NEED.
Right? We may have to take a field trip.
I love that about public transit! Even on days I don’t get a workout in, I at least still feel like I did something. And all the flights of stairs that are ran have to count for something too.
Have fun this weekend with your fam!
I feel the same way about watching the Kardashian’s. I feel like I lost some brain cells well I was doing it. But yet at the same time am amazed and strangely drawn in…..
I am crying from laughing, you are such a hoot.
feel the weird shift in crazy – this could be a global phenom.
And for the love, Wikipedia Sauvigon Blanc and listen to the way it’s pronounced. My fav too!
Have a good weekend with the fam!
Good call on the wiki. Smart one, you are!
Amy, you always make me smile. I am an old lady and watch the Kardashians’ (my guilty pleasure). Have a great time with your family this weekend and best of luck with your 5k. You will rock it! Think of me cheering you on my love! I am so happy for you with your new job.
Thanks, lady! That means a lot!
I hate every single name for you-know-what. Ew haha.
Have a great weekend with your fam!
Not a fan of Fifty/50, but I might have to go back and try the sandwich. Also, moist.
Asshole. :p
Hacky sack…is this an office stuck in a 1990s time warp.
Right? I didn’t complain. Just sat and enjoyed my free coffee while getting paid…
I still skip right over MTV on tv. I don’t need to get any dumber, and I know I’d get sucked in way too easily.
haha happy Friday!
So happy the first week went well and you like the walk part of the commute!
Have a fun 5K!
My NYC BFF HATES the word moist too. And shin. And a few other words that I must say to set her off. Ha hahahaha.
What dO you do for a living?
I love Cabernet Sauvignon, but usually I can get away with just ordering it as “Cabernet.” Which is good, because I found this, and I’ve been pronouncing it wrong: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-pronounce-wine-names.html
I recently caught an episode of Adam Richman’s Best Sandwich in America. Such a great show!!
