Sipping tea in Chicago

Update

I've been writing and drawing, but not having a computer does shorten how much I can do... and really I shouldn't even be doing this, I should be looking at online ads.

Temp. Roomate situation is fine- she thinks my lentil,split pea,collard and mustard greens, garlic, onion, white wine, stock cube, thyme, olive oil and quinoa soup smells really nasty- so I make it when she's not there and then boil up a toffee flavored teabag. She does not conserve paper towels (which is just a pet peeve I'm dealing with silently as she rips off 8 sheets for who knows what), but that's about as dramatic as it's ever gotten between us.

I have a part time job at Victoria's Secret. To anyone who thinks that doesn't really sound like me... well, I do have work clothes from my period of HR where I decided that maybe I should look like an HR for my own good, and I do wear bras. And as for selling them with enthusiasim- my background in drama (and the bs I'd have to come up with for my commercial art projects) comes in handy. They know I'm going to weekends when I get a FT.

It's very rainy here. Normally that would predjiduce me to a city, but Chicago and I have a foundation, so instead I walk around noting how atmospheric the rain makes certain buildings and streets.

And Mom, you'll be glad to know I'm not loosing my driving skills. They are actively applied on the sidewalk. Approaching slow poke.... No, I can't pass... opposite traffic coming too fast... *slow down*... can I pass?... *check behind me to make sure noone else is trying to get ahead*... proceed past slow poke. (and there are a lot of slow pokes in this town. bloody buckets).

Love, me.

Love the how you're keeping up on your driving skills. Very nice. Luckily in DSM, it's like a gravel road. No one for miles, but steer clear when someone approaches. Glad you'll be able to get your own place and cook in peace, but good that your roomie and you have only had these tiffs and the paper towel problem. Just set your green party aside for a bitty like I do at work when I see people in the bathroom use 10 papertowels and most of the towels they grabbed don't even touch their hands or get even slightly wet b/c of the insane amount they feel they need. I love the music group "Belle & Sebastian". They are from Chicago. Go to my myspace blog to see my fav song lyric of theirs. Tiff gave the CD to me and I listen to it all day long at work now. I'll bring it to Cgo so you can taste the goodness of them. Loves!
