Chillin in Chicago with My Best Friend Joe

At 2:20 Friday I was on a train heading to

to meet up with my best friend

Joe. This is one of my favorite pictures of us. It's from Homecoming 2009.

We started our adventure by going to a favorite spot of his off Belmont. Over the summer we discovered a sushi place randomly as we were walking and we went again this time. This time there was a happy hour where you could buy any sushi for 3 dollars. We took advantage of it and got all this

These sushi rolls were our favorite. The one in the back was spicy and for about 20 minutes my mouth felt like it was on fire. ( the chef told me the " spice" was nothing compared to others).

Pork Dumplings( yum)

The orange stuff was my favorite because it was crunchy

Last but not least these two. By this point I only ate 4 rolls because I was stuffed. Joe was a champ and finished the whole plate.

All 6 things for only 20 bucks! It was the best deal! 

Then we were on a mission to find shoe's for joe and we went into the one stop shop, A Marshalls, and DSW Warehouse all in one building. 

As we were looking, I found these gorgeous shoes that of course don't come in my size

I wish my feet were bigger so I could wear these. 

After we went to another store and then back to his place for 

and a sleepover. It was cold and I didn't want to walk to the train at 11 at night. 

The next day we went to Macy's and I bought myself 

lotion for my face. I have been wanting this since December. 

I decided hey lets go to the men's department and look and we found

blue steel face

The shirt isn't orange. What!

After, we went to Urban Outfiters becuase I was looking for earings I spotted two weeks ago and those didn't work out but, I found

 Glittery shoes!!!!!!!

 Who wouldn't love those! Joe suggested I make my own glitter shoes. 

I might just do that ;) 

Then we decided lets get some lunch but before we did this I spotted wig store with a wig all pink. Of course I was drawn to that and Joe and I went in and we discovered 

rows and rows. All really nice wigs. I couldn't find the pink haired one. 

In Joe's words they were kinda creepy. It was an odd shop. 

We got Chipotle and I booked it to the train.

The End

How are you enjoying your Easter Holiday? 

New Song Obsession

My new song obsession. I play this song on my Iphone in my car on repeat and at home. I like the lyric's because I  can relate. Plus, Kelly Clarkson is one of my favorite artist.  What makes her even better in my eyes is she is part of the show, The Voice.

Best Volumizing Mascara

I was so looking through the mascara's  in Walgreen's today and trying to figure out which would be the best for volumizing my lashes. I def need all the help I can get. I was happy to find the article to answer my questions. Tomorrow I hit the store again.

What is your favorite mascara?

Spontaneous Adventure in Chicago.

On my first day of Spring Break Jackie and I decided we were going to go into the city. Now we had decided on this a week ago. When we first decided on this it was gonna be sunny and we were gonna walk around the city by a friend's place. 

Well yesterday the city was

in the AM when Jackie and I got there. We walked down Jackson and I said, "hey there are some stores down State Street want to look?"That is when the spontaneous day started. 

We literally walked into every store we saw. We went into Old Navy, Wet Seal, H&M. Charlotte Ruse, and the last store we went into was Macy's. 

We walked in and I said hey Jackie lets get a makeover because there were makeup counters everywhere. So I randomly stumpled apun 

We got a free makeover. As we were both getting our makeup done we asked where should we eat and they suggested these guys on floor 7.

These are all chef's that have been on Top Chef and won! We went up stairs and found this deliciousness

It was Ramen noodles, Bok choy, Chicken and Dumplings. I would give the dish 3 stars. It was good but not something I would have to have again. 

Then from there we decided well we both feel so pretty, why not get a hair cut to top it all off. Jackie's Bobbi Brown consultant suggested the 5th floor to get a hair cut. So I was stoked, Jackie was very nervous. We  both got shoved into a room with a hair stylist that second language was English and hard to understand, but at the end it turned out fabulous and we walked away with big 

smiles on our faces. ( That was the end of the day shot). 

After hair cuts we went up to another floor and saw

right as you walked in. The whole bird was made out of flowers. 

Then we left Macy's and 

you could see the sun and the buildings. It was a great end to our day.

wife is stumped with math question

Oh goodness me, I was embarressed for the wife in this video.

What do you think of what the husband did?

I need to learn more sign language

After watching a vidoe about a boy who was at a presidental event and oboma communicated with him with ASL it made me want to learn more.

The first video is fast. Watch the second vidoe down the page where the student is signing a conversation. It is pretty cool. I just know simple things such as drink, eat, sit, please, thank you, simple things like that.  I have a lot of learning to do if I ever want to be able to sign a converstaion like him.

What do you think of the video?

St. Patrick's Day

On St. Patrick's day I went into the city with my friend Caitlin and we headed to the parade.

This is the crazy that we saw. I have never been to Chicago when it was this crowded. 

This was the crowd trying to see the bean. There were gates up and cops checking bags and making people throw away their cups to go see the bean. 

Then we met up with some friend and we headed to the parade.. The crowds were rediculous

people people everywhere.

We only stayed at the parade for half an hour because we were standing at the end of the parade. 

From there we went to Wildberry and had this

those sweet potatoe fries were the best. 

After, we headed to Caitlin's and Mary's favorite bar 

Howl at the Moon!

We passed over the best thing about St. Patrick's day,

the

green river. It was so viberant green! 

We were at the bar from about 3:30 till 7:40 and as we were there my best friend 

Joe, my friend Tim and Morgan came.

It was the best. 

Like my friends said, I was showing my irish pride by getting burnt like a chrisp from sitting on a bench at the bean for 15 minutes. 

I can't complain it was 80 degrees on St. Patrick's Day! 

How did you spend your St. Patrick's  Day?
