Weekend Recap + PUPPIES!!!!!!

So this last weekend was slow, hot, relaxing and did I mention hot? Holy bajeezus. It was so friggen hot out this last weekend in Chicago that I went to Target and bought a fan for the apartment on Saturday! Oh, I must also mention that I bought Girls Just Want to Have Fun with SJP, which is still as awesome as it was when I was little.


Maria Bamford rocked on Friday night, she was hilarious as usual. Saturday night TBF and I went to my cousins deck party (which is awesome) in Wicker Park where we got to hang out, chat and enjoy some Coronas. Ahhh, a perfect summer night. TBF did a little acting for a shoe commercial outside on Sunday and he had long sleeves and boots on (a Fall shoe line), so he became super dehydrated! Scary! I totally nursed him back to health though in no time.

Yesterday was a super busy day at work, the usual Monday. I’m super excited about tonight because I’m going to dinner with some of my girlfriends who I haven’t seen in a couple weeks since our schedules are becoming so busy! We’re now in the “real world” and have to work hard at seeing each other now! Tougher than I thought it’d be…I must say it’s really nice being able to pay for a nice meal out since we have salaries now..


Anyway, I don’t know why - okay yes maybe I do – but lately I’ve been wanting something very similar to this little guy soooooooooo much!


HOW CUTE IS HE?! Now, if I could only find one that stays this teeny and never grows older, that would be perfect. Why don’t I just get a small dog that is supposed to stay small forever?

I’ll tell you why, because they won’t have massive paws that are too big for their body that make them move around awkwardly. That’s why, oh and they’re friggen adoorrabblleee!!!






…I can’t….say..noo….

Need I explain more?
Didn’t think so.

I also just decided that I’m going to start every single work day with looking at pictures of teeny puppies because they make me smile.

Happy Tuesday!!

Did this week fly? Phew!

Onto FFF X...

So cool -


The fact that TBF is creating a new I5OS header!!!

What's the tastiest brew???
How does everyone feel about Jeanine winning SYTYCD?? I'm a little disappointed Kayla didn't win, but Jeanine's a great dancer too, so I guess I'm cool with it.



I'm seeing this little lady, Maria Bamford, at Lake Shore Theatre tonight and I am pumped! Check her out below..



She's absolutely hilarious and TBF was invited to attend one of her comedian workshops tomorrow!! I'm excited for him :)

I love that she's going to be on The Hills..


Still in love with this..

GO ON SALE NOW! Ohemgee, kaythanks.

That's all for this Friday! TGIF!!!!!!!

Weekend Recap

So this weekend FLEW by! The wedding was an absolute blast, but unfortunately downtown Columbus, Ohio itself is totally not. I apologize if anyone is from Columbus, I don’t mean to offend you, I’m just saying..it was prêt-ty boring…(especially on Sundays when absolutely nothing was open).

Also, we stayed at a hotel that was across the street from the capital building where an extremist Tea Party just happened to be occurring. Now, I’m more on the conservative side and I was a bit offended by some of the images they were showing of dead fetuses that were intended to support pro life (yes, I'm pro life as well) and I was a little scared walking past this Tea Party with TBF. As some of you know, TBF is half Chinese, therefore we were getting a lot of strange looks (blonde, white girl walking around with a Chinese, 6 foot male), and even some points and glares, most likely toward the Chinese male who was walking past a predominantly white rally. Needless to say I was a little nervous for our safety so we hurried in and out of Subway (after TBF was told about how our country needs nuclear power by a random woman and after I was asked by an interesting gal for $5 because she was "going into labor"…liar). Lots of different emotions were evoked during that half hour walk to and from Subway past the Tea Party, including, but not limited to, curiosity, humor, fear, confusion, sadness and anxiety. Yikes.

Click on this link if you'd like to see the truck that we saw with a disturbing image of a dead fetus on the front. I googled this image, it doesn't come from my blog or anyone else that I know.

I must note, I know this doesn’t make up the entire community of downtown Columbus, we just happened to be visiting on a particular weekend that didn’t agree with us.

Sooooo yeah, I won't be going back to Columbus, Ohio for awhile..

Anyway, because this weekend was full of traveling and not a lot of relaxing, I have a feeling I’m going to be laying pretty low this week.

The most exciting thing I may do all week is buy a microwave from Best Buy with a gift certificate that is 3 years old, not even kidding (Thanks dad!). TBF found it during my move..score.

So to make this post a bit more light-hearted, here are some saweeeet microwaves!





I believe I’m going to settle on this one, though.

Best Buy

Also, congrats to Melissa who won The Next Food Network Star!! I love her!

Hope everyone's having a lovely week!

Alright, time to get some work down and plan out my evening. I have a wedding in Ohio this weekend, the last of the summer weddings!

TGIF!

I don't want to create an entire new post, so I'm going to just add it in down here: I work in the loop in downtown Chicago, and my boss came upstairs and said she thought she saw Hayden Pannetierre downstairs in Qdoba which would slightly make sense because of our location.
What do I do? I grab my BB and run down there of course. No, I don't even like Hayden, but TBF used to have a "thing" for her so I thought it'd be hilarious if I snapped a pic.
Well, was it Hayden? No, and I realized this after the look-a-like and I made eye contact. She didn't have the slut vibe nor were the girls cheeks chubby enough.
After I chuckled to myself, I ran back upstairs and gave my boss crap.
It's a good day.

Freck is Friggen Excited!!!!

Holy Toledo.



I’m going to Santa Barbara, California for a business trip in September.

What? Me?!

I can’t believe it. Don’t read on if you don’t want to hear me talk about how excited I am. I don’t think this usually happens to youngin’s like me who just started working at a company a month ago at a fairly intro marketing level position. I’m so excited!!

Oh, I must also mention that I live in Chicago where warm summers pretty much end in August and I haven’t been to California for about 10 years or any where else that fantastic. That’s also what makes it so exciting..

Yayy!!

That's all :)

J. Crew and Perfect Summer Nights

Loved all your comments about the BB Curve, I'm so in love with it. I've already tried brick breaker and my commute to and from work is a blur because I'm so locked in and focused on my teeny piece of amazingness in my hand.

I had a really lovely evening last night. I went out with two of my favorite people, one of my girlfriends that I haven't seen in awhile and TBF. After worky, TBF and I grabbed sushi real fast, then he went on his marry way to a political event he likes to attend every other Tuesday and I met up with one of my girlfriends where we split a bottle of wine on a patio of one of my favorite places and caught up. It was so nice to just chat with her and enjoy some wine on a gorgeous evening in Chicago. After that we met up with TBF (his event was finished) at a beer garden down the street where they got to do a little catching up which was a lot of fun. Ohhh, I'm hurting a bit today from the consumption but man, it was a good time.

Who's loving J. Crew's new fall arrivals? I HATE how they TEASE us with these new items when it's STILL summer!! Why do they do that?! I want

this

and this..

and this...

but PEOPLE, it's STILL summer. Why? :( Why?!

Twitter redesigned their page. Are they advertising now? I've been told I should get a Freck twitter...I'm considering it...

Happy hump day!!

Freck's New Toy

A Blackberry Curve!

So far, I have NO idea how to use it. That’s okay though, tonight will be spent discovering new and fun things to with it. Courtesy of mama and papa Freck, I got the BB because I’ve been given a new project at work (that I’m pretty excited about) which requires me to be a bit more connected to the internets. They understand and are super supportive, mama Freck even encouraged I get one pronto! Twist my arm why don’t ya?

The rest of the post is kind of pointless and not as exciting as the BB..oh well :)

Uh..where did the weekend go? I moved the majority of the items I'd left out of my old apartment, so my new apartment looks as if I’ve lived there for months already. Clutter and boxes everywhere…I can’t sit down and relax because I don’t like staring at it. I will either purge most of the items, sell or find a spot somewhere to hide it all. Luckily I have decent storage.

TBF and I went to a comedy show around the corner from my place on Saturday. One of his good friends was performing and it was being taped so we wanted to support him. The Sklar brothers were headlining, but *cringe* I wasn’t super impressed…bummer because I was pretty excited about seeing them, too. We spent the rest of the night and early wee hours hanging out with the other comedians, their lovely gf’s and new friends at a local establishment. We had such a blast!

Sunday was spent recovering.

AVE YOU SEEN 500 DAYS OF SUMMER YET?! No? Get on it.
