Friday

I know this needs to be ironed, but i finally finished my zombie x-stitch! i actually completed it last Sunday, but i never got around to blogging it. i also started making a skirt on Sunday. i wish i had more time to make things! i think i'm going to get a big container to store all the things i've made that i want to sell. that way they are protected and all in one place once stevie and i finally open something up.

my sister's and my mom's birthdays are coming up! they were both born on september 6th. i love baking so i'm going to make a really good cake this year, not from the box. well actually i will be using boxed cake mix, but other ingredients as well. for Christmas my family got me the Cake Dr. Cookbook. i love it.i'm exited to do alot of birthday present shopping this weekend and hopefully finding some time to finish my skirt.

lunch

i love portillos. i grew up eating delicious chicago style hot dogs and italian beef at least once every two weeks. no one in my family ever became sick of this restaurant. when i started working in schaumburg it was everyone's favorite place to order from. now that i work in downers grove everyone always chooses portillos when we go out to eat. this is probably one of my biggest regrets about not eating meat, although i'm sure i've saved a lot of calories! today i tried their asian chicken salad, with no chicken of course, and it was really good! i recommend it to anyone strong enough to not order a hotdog. you can still get the cheese fries. haha.

cross stitch

i have been working so hard on my zombie cross stitch. i can't wait to finish it and post pictures! it looks so good right now. once i'm done with that i'll have to figure out which of the million other projects to start on.
i am really looking forward to tonight. after work i'm going to hit up the gym for a good workout. when i get home i'm going to make spaghetti with Trader Joe's meatless meatballs and then relax and watch teen mom.
i especially love working on projects when there is something good to watch on tv. i feel guilty just watching tv and not doing something at the same time. so usually i'll grab my cross stitch, or some weights and work out. i just can't sit still!

saturday night yeahhh (or sunday morning)

i am so sick of coming home after a mediocre /boring night. it's the same thing every weekend. walking into my room just now i felt like ... ugh again... i am starting to get too old for this. weekend after weekend- lamp lighters sucks, lets go to durty nellies. nellies sucks lets go home. i am so sick of this scene. same people same losers. i feel like i'll never meet anyone i like.
mike is probably never coming back from michigan. i should accept that as fact and stop texting him like anything is going to happen. this is stupid. i wasting my time, but theres nothing better to be doing.

Punkstock

Last night i saw the booze at the beat kitchen with barbie and stevie. it was such a fun show! the only bad part was during the band before the booze everyone was dancing really rough and someone dropped a beer bottle by my feet. the broken glass cut my leg. it didn't really hurt though. i was just annoyed that i had basically an entire bottle of beer on my leg and in my shoe.

we were having so much fun stevie suggested barbie and i go to punkstock, which is today. she couldn't go because she is going to a wedding. we weren't really sure about going without stevie because she knows everyone, but she said max and jimmy would be there so we'd be fine.
sadly as i started getting ready barbie called and said jimmy wouldn't be there until max's band went on, so it might be kinda awkward not knowing anyone. plus she found out it costs $10 to get in. which isn't bad, but we didnt think we'd be staying long so that is kind of a waste.
now the plan for tonight is for barbie and i to get dinner and then meet up with alyssa in the suburbs.

i haven't updated in a while. last weekend i went to lollapalooza all three days. it was a good time. all the bands were great, the food was good, the weather wasn't too bad. i really love going to concerts. it is one of my favorite things to do.

in the middle of the week i was in indiana for my aunts wake and funeral. she passed away on sunday. i loved her so much and i am extremely sad that she is no longer with us. her daughter, heather, is mine and my sister's favorite cousin. we used to go down to indiana in the summer and stay with my grandma who lived down the street from them. we spent all our time in heather's pool and hanging out with her. i will really miss aunt bonnie. she was so glam and fashionable, but really down to earth and fun.

i just ate a whole bunch of samosas from trader joes. they are delicious but my mouth is on fire. i need to get a drink and start getting ready for tonight.
