Hello Out there…remember me? Yesterday I was sitting on the couch watching football and pretending to do homework when I remembered I hadn’t blogged since Wednesday. Last week was a giant shit show but its done and it is a new week!
I usually whine about Mondays but I am going attack the hell out of it with some positivity today!
Friday was our annual Parent Cocktail Party where we invite all the parents to get together for some drinks, music and mingling. It was great…except that our Gym is not air conditioned and it was record 90+ this past week. HOT. like not even just oh its a little warm. I was sweating so hard I could feel it running down my legs while I was talking to people. So gross. After that I met up with Thenewguy and we went to a bar called Park & Field. It has an awesome outdoor patio area we got to enjoy.
That blur in the background was my boss…who had many many cocktails.
I was repping summery weather!
Saturday my baby younger brother turned 19. I know. Holy shit. But anyway I drove to the burbs to celebrate at Olive Garden as we have every year since he was a little snot.
Look at this adorable siblings here!
Then I made my way back to the city for the Goose Island Block party. We ended up waiting for 45 mins in line because we got there super late (should have learned my lesson last year but I am hard-headed) BUT it was a great time. We made it in time to hear Animal Collective and have some ciders, beers and food!
I got some fries from this food truck and they were AHHHMAZING. No seriously. Check out the menu, I had the Papas Bravas
Sunday Ended up being another busy day! Thenewguy and I had brunch at Bub City and then decided to go for a walk and enjoy the weather. We walked along the Riverwalk (which I had no idea had so much going on now!) all the way to the end and then over to Navy Pier to hang out for a bit. I was so happy to be out in the sun and enjoying the weather.

Hanging out at the end of the pier trying to get sun and then some shade for a bit!
Ended all that wonderfulness by chilling out doing homework and watching Football!
It ended up being a great weekend and I was exhausted by 7pm yesterday but so happy! Now onto a new week of workouts, work, homework and attempts to cook!
