hot ham water

It turns out I'm not krazy and that there are bugs in my apt. Yup, fleas...omg, seriously I'm going out of my mind with these bites on me. And what really stinks is that I have a beach wedding to go to this coming Monday and I have no clue what to wear. I own nothing linen and a dress is pretty much out of the question with the awesome red bug bites on my legs and ankles. I thought maybe I could try the legging look with a dress and with some flats, but I'm kinda nervous. Anywho, it'll all work out by then. On the bright side, my landlord told me today that they are going to get exterminators in the building once they find out what is going on upstairs...there is another apt down the hall from me and the guy has the same problem so I felt a little less krazy.

Anywho, other things are fine. I got to go to work at 4:30am. Woot, woot. It was fine, I was just a bit sleepy because I didn't sleep much the night before due to potential bug bites and a storm that woke me up at 2am. I'm glad I woke up during the storm. I've always been afraid that I sleep through everything (most storms, even a fire alarm that went off in a building I lived in a few years ago) and that if something serious were happening, I'd just sleep through it. But this makes me feel a little better=Þ

This past weekend was nice. I got to see Ross and Rebecca...yay! Their condo is seriously so cute. Abby went with me and we had plenty to talk about on the way there and then she got sleepy around 9:30ish and so I tried to just stand next to ppl during the housewarming party and laugh and pretend I was part of the conversations. But everyone there was nice and friendly so I didn't feel too awkward/dorky. It just makes me realize I am super shy unless I know ppl at functions and things...I guess I kinda need to work on that. Saturday we had lunch together...pizza, mmm. I wish I could have spent more time with Ross and Rebecca, but hopefully later in October or November I will be heading up that way again. The ride home was a bit quiet. I didn't have much to say and I think Abby had a headache and it was raining so not a whole lot going on there, but it was nice once we hit the sunshine and the rain was done.

Every time I go to Chicago or around it, it makes me want to live there. Like I can't really do it right now, there is no plan of action, etc. (that's kind of how the last two years have been, but this year I suppose there is a tiny bit of direction as far as what I want to do with my life). But eventually I would like to live in Chicago, maybe not forever, but at least for a bit.

And guess what else...tomorrow is Wednesday and that means Wilco is going to be here! I am way excited. I'm going to have dinner with some folks (Matt and Kier and their friends) over at the new Irish Pub and then the show is around 7:30pm. It would only be better if Ross and Rebecca were coming, but being a Wednesday made it difficult. But someday I hope we can all see Wilco together, that would be pretty fun.

And upcoming, Jenny and I are going to catch Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins in Nashville later in October. I'm pretty excited about that. Good music and I get to hang out with Jenny;)

Anywho, I suppose I should get going and do something...maybe read a bit or run...it's pretty warm outside though so we shall see...

Laters;)
