BRRRR.

so last night i was so cold we did not have internet. oh and the tv would not work so i missed the office. i guess since i live it everyday that would be ok, BUT ITS NOT.

right now its -12.

i don't care how long you have been in the real world. that's cold.

to keep warm i don't even know what to wear. maybe tight under my jeans?


I am supposed to be meeting girls at Cafe Ba Ba ReeBa tonight. i don't know if i'm gonna be able to brave the cold. But i do love it there.

bad news, good news

I regret to inform you all (aka Abby Esquire) that my imminent trip to the Chi has been canceled due to inclement below zero temperatures and snow. The CEO of our company (and my loving father) thought this was in my best interest. I, however am extremely upset, as it had been the single thing I had been looking forward to since October. On the bright side (!) I have a voucher that I can use for a future trip to see my bestie (that is if she'll forgive me!)


On another note, said CEO has decided it would be best for me to travel to Toronto for the annual CGTA Spring Gift Show. This is scary for two reasons: 1. I have no directional ability, especially in foreign lands and 2. There has still yet to be a confirmation as to whether or not my iPhone will be accepting Canadian signals. Anyway, as it goes I have gone ahead and made my travel reservations and on January 24th I will be off to the frozen North. Alone. Atleast the exchange rate is in my favor.

'til later, alex-marie

HOME

for the first time since i scored my own big kid job i am traveling home on wednesday. this is a v. big deal as now i am a true adult. pa-thug and lisa better respect. however since i no longer have a home ( my parents moved a-la LC) i am going to the g-rents.

one of the not so good perks that comes with being a big kid is the fact that i have to now give gifts to all those i love. while i LOVE giving gifts (AND GETTING THEM) this year i have found it v. hard. probally b.c i am so BUSY.
so busy i have not even decided what i want santa to bring me...

Public Transportation

since my move to chicago, i have been using a lot of public transportation. something i never thought i would do.

(i include cabs in public transportation)

the newness is wearing off and i am missing my car and ample parking lots of suburbia. i am also convinced that if i was to have a 21st century web enabled phone i would love public transportation.

i am also confused what about being on public transportation makes people lose all scene of personal boundaries. whether its the bag lady, or the i banker people love to rub up on you as you press your way in, OR they sit right next to you when there are PLENTY of open seats all over the car.
