I'm too old for this....


I started bartending again tonight. My feet hurt. My legs hurt. My finger hurts. Sure it was fun after we got things set up...but man, it's a young person's game. There's a reason we grow up and get jobs behind desks. Thank god I'm only doing it a night or two a week. *Sigh*

Cubs Win!


I went to my first Cubs game of the season this past Sunday. We had seats in the Bleacher section, which was a lot of fun, but the hot sun beats down on you and you could bake out there if you're not careful! The only hope for some reprieve from the heat is a stray breeze or random cloud. But hey! CUBS WON! So, it was all worth it =)

I'm so bad...

I know all of my fans out there are itching for another post, some pictures, and update on what I've gotten myself into lately. Ok, stop all the emails. I've been bad, ok? I haven't taken my camera with me, and without pics, it's rhetoric...but here goes. Last weekend I made it over to the Wicker Park Fest and saw some great bands. Well, we saw many bands, but only 2 great, to be exact, Baliff and Brighton, MA. Check them out if you wish, it may be worth your time.

I am currently in a contest with my mom and one of my aunts to see who can drop the most lbs. before my cousins wedding (Aug.23rd). So, I have been better than good on the eating and drinking front these last few weeks, which probably explains the lack of fun, which explains the lack of blog posts. In fact, while I was at the Wicker Park fest, while everyone else was happily downing beers, I drank water. One step closer to the Nunnery? Yes. But, hopefully by the time I post the next pic of myself I will be a mere shadow, and $200 richer!?

In other news: This week I saw two movies, Mama Mia (no.) and Batman (sure, go for it.), went on a date with a guy who ate sushi with a fork, and got myself a new bartending gig at Room 21...actually a cool place, check out the website here: http://www.room21chicago.com/

Anyway, it's late, and I've got to get some shut eye. But, I did want to post something so things don't get too out of date.

Have a great weekend, more later.
