Hooray!
I found a new dress to wear to my brother’s wedding in a few weeks. This one is a lot better than the black dress I was planning to wear.
We are planning on going up to Madison a day early so that we can spend some time with my beau’s sister and/or hang out. Madison is pretty rad, so it’ll be nice to be somewhere that isn’t Chicago for a while.
The week after that we’re going up to Milwaukee to go see The Hold Steady play at whatever dumb festival they have up there. There isn’t a Chicago show for this tour which totally sucks.
But!
The Hold Steady aren’t playing until 10pm, so we’re going to have to stay until the next day.
So!
Last night I booked our hotel room through hotwire.com and managed to get a $164 room at the Hilton for $54. I guess the it might not be considered fancy to some people, but we stayed at the Hilton in Minneapolis last summer and I felt like we were going to get kicked out any second.
These are our big trips this summer. I wish we could go away for our anniversary in July, but I’m pretty broke, especially after the wedding and our annual Hold Steady trip. Wisconsin will have to do I guess!
Say you love me, really love me
Say you love me true
Say you love me, please believe me
When you do, that makes two who
Go together, bet your boodle
Like the apples in a strudel do

We made a pretty darn yummy dinner today.
The beau was in charge of veggie burgers with BBQ and the grilled corn. I made pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, avocado and a creamy balsamic vinaigrette.
I feel the grilled corn, while my idea, was not a good choice. We/I must have done something wrong? Or?! The end product didn’t seem worth all the extra effort.
In conclusion, white cheddar cheese is possibly the best kind of cheese.
Yes yes cookie!
As expected I steadily got sicker each day in Wisconsin !
Actually each day brings on a new set of symptoms while others go away. One night in Wisconsin I woke up sweaty and aching, then got out of bed in the morning with a slight fever, yet felt almost normal by the afternoon. Yesterday I could feel it settling in my chest, the weird hurty to breathe deep sick feeling. Today my left ear is starting to hurt.
Who wants to take bets on tomorrow?!
Otherwise it was a really nice weekend. I’ve only seen the boyfriends parents probably 5 or 6 times (if that) in the almost 2 years we’ve been together, because they live far away. So it’s still a little awkward? I’m not at the point that I can feel comfortable being with them alone for any length of time. I don’t know what to talk to them about so I’m usually quiet. Maybe they hate me! I don’t think they hate me. I’m just irrationally scared they do.
But it was a food filled weekend. And we went to see Robin Hood, which was great because I didn’t have to spend money on seeing that mediocre movie.
I thought I escaped catching the boyfriend’s cold. Haha! How wrong I was. Just in time for our Wisconsin trip :(
Boyfriends who give you colds are still really cute, but maybe a little less so while I still have a stuffy headache.
The kisses make it worth it though. Oh my!
Of course the ONE program in the area that has the grad school program I want to get into is in a suburb! That would take an hour and a half to get to via public transit!
Why have you done this universe?
Tomorrow (well, later today) I go to ruin my life!
I have an appointment to meet with an advisor to change my major. It’s been a tough decision. I’ve thought about it and talked to people and I know it is the right thing to do.
But.
OH MY GOD I AM RUINING MY LIFE!!!!!!!!
Is what the little part of my brain keeps saying. I know this is a good decision. Maybe if I keep saying it I’ll believe it!
No wait. I’m actually sure of this. It’s just scary. I’m really close to being done with school (3 more semesters!) so I kinda can’t screw around with this. And it’s totally changing my path in life (seriously!). So that is scary. And it isn’t a clear cut path like teaching was. So that’s scary.
Basically every part of this experience has been terrifying. I would venture to say this is the biggest decision I’ve made so far in life. Because it was an actual decision. Everything else has been, hey that’s cool! Or nah, that’s alright. Or, uh sure, and if not then no. This time it is yes or no and oh well if it doesn’t work out!
It’ll be ok. And if not, oh well!
