Been going non-stop most of the week, so today gets to be a lazy day... Just chillin', watching tv...basically the way my life was before I decided that having two jobs (that combined still don't make me enough money to really pay my bills!) was a good idea... But it's been fun, still been going out and everything, just sleeping a little bit less :)
Last Shabbas I had this awesome Tu B'Shevat Seder at Jo's place. Sooo wonderful, must've had over 35 people in and out of there, including a couple adorable little kids. Great food (although all I did all day was eat, so I couldn't really appreciate the food that much), great singing, people had so many insightful things to say...really amazing.
On Tuesday I went to another Tu B'Shevat deal, a
Chabad of Bucktown Jewish Women's Circle thing at Yael & Eli's apartment. We made these fruit basket/flower arrangement things. Mine was ridiculously ugly (kinda looked a little like an alien...) but it was fun! Great group of girls, Yael, Eli, Maya, Itta...can't remember everyone else's names, but they were all great. Hung out there for awhile, didn't end up leaving until after 11!
Started my second job on Tuesday, working at
Kiddie Kandids. Fun so far, seems like nice girls that work there. It's out in Schaumburg also, right down the street from
Agile, my other job. Makes going between the two easy, but the hours kinda suck (ie, I'll be working a million hours). And now I'm driving out to Schaumburg during rush hour...
oy. Seriously, the commute might drive me crazy. I'm gonna need to experiment with a non-expressway route, anything to avoid the crazy Chicago traffic!
Went to dinner Friday night at Louise & Steven's. It was a
Makor dinner, but really it was pretty much all people they knew, which was a good thing--those meals can be so awkward sometimes! The rest of Shabbas was good too. The usual, shul, chillin with people, nap time...
Last night I went to this Friends of the IDF wine tasting with Yael. Fun people, the Amys, Robyn, Oren, Ron, Joe, Danny... Afterwards some of us headed over to this bar near Wrigley. Good times, except for my decision to walk home. It's not that far, but it was for sure too cold out slash I desperately could have used a hat!
Exciting plan for this week is going with Gabe to see
Hadag Nachash. They'll be in Champaign on Wednesday night, and Madison on Thursday night. I think we're leaning towards Thursday night...I know that's a lot of driving in one day, but it should be good times, it was such a fun concert last year!
