Café Con Monica

Monday monday monday…

May 7, 2012

How did the weekend go by so quickly? I am lucky to be even typing this right now since the Internet has been up & down all morning here at work. I have no real clue why I was so absent last week, I mean it was busy but not so  busy that I couldn’t blog…I think I just lacked the inspiration I needed. 


I had Thursday and Friday off work so I made it to the doctor for my first round of immunizations and I won’t even pretend they didn’t suck. I got 3 shots and will have to go back for 3 more and also take some pills for Typhoid. I am really really hoping those pills don’t make me sick because the Tetanus shot really did. I spent most of Thursday and Friday with a pretty nasty migraine that I couldn’t medicate away. 


I’ve started getting most of the big things I will need for my move. I have luggage, and an Ipad to make life a bit easier. I talked to AT&T about my cell phone and have come to the conclusion it will be cheaper to not use it while I am gone. I also found out that with my google voice number app and my Iphone on wi-fi I will still be able to receive calls & texts without paying any international fees. I just have to be in a place with Wi-fi! how fun is that! 


In other news I had a moment this weekend where I realized that either Chicago really is smaller than we all think it is or I just have ridiculous luck! Ran into someone while I was out with The Boy that I would much rather not have seen EVER let alone while out with him. HA! 


I had lunch on Thursday and even got to spend some QT time with The Boy this weekend…hung out with G and went to visit him at his school. Middle student kids have tooooo much energy for me! Just think I will be in China teaching some students that age who can’t speak any English….Eeeek! 


Ohh and I also saw The Avengers! I don’t know how many of you got to see it but it was fantastic so get your ass to the theater!!! It had much more humor than I was expecting and was pleasantly surprised. 

And some Iphone pics to keep you entertained!! 
Gorgeous day!

Bug Eyes

 I was going to caption the Justin Beiber one but it deserves explanation. While watching the boxing matches Saturday night mr Beiber made an appearance in the Mayweather corner. I was shocked and immediately began texting everyone I know seeking answers…why!?!?!
