I am inspired by my friend Georgia's 100 days of fitness Blog so I am posting.
Over the last couple of years, I have met interesting people and connected with some. It sure is hard to beat or match the quality friends from my past!
I now work for a software company and I love it. It is software for private golf clubs. I cover 6 states and travel and do whatever I want-basically. :-)
Finally went to the Science and Industry and Shedd this month! I hadn't been to the Shedd since 7th grade when I declared I would live in Atlanta or Chicago and carry a briefcase (per my MOM) Well, I have conquered both! What's next?
Recently I was introduced to Landmark Education and just completed the Advanced Course. A whole new world has opened up for me. I see so many opportunities and possibilities!
I am looking forward to a fun 2011 with some trips already on the books-Atlanta to visit Emma and Jack Anop (Ann & Jeff) had twins! Charleston to visit my friend Erin. Several trips to Indianapolis as my sister Lindsay is getting married September 3rd! a surprise trip for Angie will happen in April. Kristin and Rachel will be here too! Can't wait to celebrate Angie's 30th and my 33rd together! A bunch of the ladies are coming to Chicago in June for New Kids on the Block and a fun girls weekend! I am planning my sisters bachelorette party in July in guess where----NYC!!
France, well.....it is still on the radar and I hope to go this year or sometime really soon! :-)
Dating-ha that could be a blog on its own! Single right now but you know I always have a few potentials men in the line up....got to keep the pipeline full of opportunities! :-)
That's all for now!

Pulse check
So, I have been here in Chicago for about 4 months and it still feels like I just got here. I went home to Indiana for some family stuff this past weekend and when I drove back last night it was 66 degrees so it is almost warm!! As I drove up LSD I thought to myself. "WOW, it finally feels like Chicago is alive and booming." I saw tents for Taste of Chicago, sailboats everywhere, and joggers-bikers-walkers literally everywhere. YAY, I am looking forward to some summertime Chicago fun. wink wink I have met some really cool people and I love the Lake Shore Path or what I refer to as a 'boardwalk'. Locals have told me I must be from the south-hahaha. No Indiana! Sorry!
So~I stopped for groceries before I pulled up yesterday. I pulled up to my high rise and put on my flashers, asked my doorman for a cart (like a hotel), loaded it up as a police officer was ticketing the car behind me, went back in and asked my doorman to keep and eye on the cart while I parked my car, and came back down and retrieved the cart to go up to the 38th floor. Almost.......almost, I pushed the cart in my doorway to unload and well, that was the end of the Miller Lite I bought for Lindsay and Molly's visit. It exploded on my floor and then when I attempted to turn on my hallway light it burned out....... home sweet home. :-)
Don't forget I had to return the cart and go back to get my golf clubs....
I am excited for my upcoming visitors: Lindsay, Molly, and Angie!! Haven't decided what to do for the FOURTH yet. TBA
Whisper-Whisper!

Chicago-Here I am!
Well. I left Atlanta last Thursday and was so exhausted from the packing (even though I had corporate movers) so I crashed in Knoxville for the night so I wouldn't miss Lipstick Jungle-My new co-favorite tv show. I made some serious sales atop the Smokey Mountains on Friday. (I had to keep pulling over to open the lap top and sell, sell, sell.) I had dinner at the country club with Mom, Dad, & G-ma and then Saturday bought a new sofa sectional since mine was too big to fit in the doorway in Chicago-ugh. I met my sister's boyfriend Sunday and then crashed with her in Carmel anf played catch-phrase-the song version with Lindsay, Mark, and Kayla. You defintely want to play this game with me sometime ....apparently I am funny?
Monday I drove up to Chicago, slowly watching my thermometer drop, drop, drop while getting an arm workout because of the 70mph winds. I rolled in to Lake Shore Plaza with the cleanest car in the city-(not for long I am sure) I stayed at the Westin since I didn't have a bed or internet connection and it was the worst Westin experience I have ever had. (Internet didn't work, the heavenly shower was messed up, no tv station list, no slippers, blah blah. )
So the movers came 90 minutes early-uhm, not good when you are dealing with freight elevators and I am on the 38th floor and the MGMT acts like they are running a military operation. I began digging out of boxes as fast as they brought them up-not too much room to work with in 720sq. ft. I have 19 big boxes left mainly office, bathroom and closet stuff. My new sofa sectional came today and everything is shaping up nicely. Plan your visits now!!!!
So I ventured out for groceries/Target stuff tonight....Publix, oh Publix where are you?? Domincks is just not the same grocery experience. Met a nice girl in parking garage/elevator and she told me how she just moved from Indiana and she thought Chicago people were mean (great, thanks)
Guess she won't be my new Chicago bff!
Anyway, I assure you my future Whispers will be more fun!! Whisper, Whisper!!!

Cleaning out my closet...
SO do you ever decide to stay home on a Friday and commit to cleaning out your closet before you make a big move and end up ordering Thai, talking on the phone (Kristin), searching for paint colors for my new place, ordering golf clothes from Talbots, and NOT doing a damn thing you were supposed to do?? Don't get me wrong, I get up and walk into my closet, turn my light on, and then say oh-- it won't take me that long....UHMM, I have done this like 5 times and I have even made room on my floor for 2 piles 1. TOSS 2. CONSIGN..... well better get up and do another walk by! Thank god the movers are doing the real packing!!
Will you see your shadow tomorrow???
Will you see your shadow tomorrow???
The Journey Begins
Well, my company has decided to move me to freeze my ass off in the windy city. I move February 15th and am trying to downsize right/clean out my closets now but I am on the phone with Kristin as she is driving to the LLCool J concert via some scandalous way she landed these tickets! She encouraged this new blog so brace yourself-people!!!!
