Well another GREAT weekend in Chicago. Pretty soon I'm going to turn into one of the guys I think because I'm surrounded by testosterone 24/7.
This weekend consisted of crazy nights. A Kings of Leon Concert, Lots of Polish Sausages, a sleepy cab driver and a day at the beach.
We went to the Kings of Leon Concert on Saturday night. Didn't get back to the city until 12 and decided to still go out. The bars here are open til 5. So going out at 12:30 here in the equivalent of going out in Ames at 10:30. I have found my new favorite bar... Or should I say my Element of Chicago, called Beaumont. It's great. Because it was so late when we got a cab.. our cabbie must have felt the late hour because he fell asleep while we were at a stoplight on Lakeshore. Romano and i were unsure if he was sleeping or just died a silent death.
Sunday we spent a few hours at the beach. As Romano and I were eager to get our feet wet, the minute we got in the lifeguards informed us that they had opened the sewage system into the water after all the rain and we might want to wash our feet off to avoid a "rash". Great.

Chi-City
So, I'm pretty good about growing suspense between my blog entries. a few months passing is staying pretty consistent. Always good to be consistent. So I'll skip the catch up of the past few months and get straight to the point.
I just moved to Chicago 2 weeks ago. OBSESSED, as usual, with city life. . So, I started a job that turned out to be shady mcgrady. I talked it out with my Mom and decided I didn't go to school for 5...yes, 5 years to be that miserable. It wasn't even "I can stick it out for a year" quality. But after the first weekend here with my roomate, Aaron, and the rest of the boys...they had me convinced this is where I need to be...even if I am living on the southside and stick out like a sore thumb.
So, as I began my days of laying around the apartment I decided to join the "Chi O Alumnae of Downtown Chicago". Ha, yes...that happened. So as I was talking to the president of the group, I told her my situation and that day she sent me a link to an internship she came across, I applied and got a response the next day. After showing my parents and Romano, EVERYONE is convinced it is my true calling. After an intense phone interview that left my brain on fire, I scored a 2nd interview next week. RedFrogevents.com <--check it out.
So, for now I am in the process of getting a waitressing job. Even tho I thought Hickory Park was the end of my waitressing career, I guess I spoke too soon. I feel like such a free spirit. Just living in the city, waitressing and kind of just enjoying life right now. Crossing my fingers for this bomb internship.
Romano and I have decided to make this living arrangment permanent. My bedroom=the living room but it's not all that bad. Down the road we might transfer to a 2 bedroom but we are enjoying what we have right now. He really enjoys it as I am basically a stay at home wife currently.. I have come to realize why stay at home Mom's houses are always soo clean!
From now on, the blogs won't be this long but as usual I'm playing catch-up and I think Romano wants to chime in from time to time. It might turn into Apt. 906 confessionals so prepare yourself.
