I am adding to the blog on my final day of unemployment. Jen is busy at work and then she's heading (in the rain) to the grocery store... what a good little wife. I haven't left the apartment all day and have tried to catch up on all of my programs on DVR, all of the photos on facebook, and all of my emails in my sweatpants and headband. Depressing to know that this is my last day of freedom. I am in mourning resorting to the most couch potato activites I can think of.
I have been telling myself that it will be healthy and a time of growth - not knowing everything (not easy for me) and being "the new kid". I hope the pecking order is brief.
This weekend was refreshing... Lisa from Escala and her daughter Janna came to Chicago for a girls weekend! It was wonderful to see them and get caught up on the office and Seattle. It felt like forever since last seeing them. My boyfriend Darren was also in town last week and this weekend. It was fabulous trying new cuisine in the city and doing a few touristy things - we had so much fun. I think my favorite was having family dinners... we couldn't leave Jen all alone! Darren was a great sport and treated both of us to some fabulous food, and excellent company. He even put up with my tiny room, squealing shower, crying cat alarm, and miniature kitchen.
We went to a pumpkin patch with our girlfriends about an hour outside of the city yesterday. It was amazing. This place was not just pumpkins on the vine with tractor rides and families selecting the perfect orange gourd to carve - it was a full on carnival. Rides, cotton candy, packaged caramel apples and moving skeletons kept us company as we checked out the farm animals and scurried through the not-so-haunted-barn. It put us in the spirit, for sure. The leaves were gorgeous and it was a cute, chilly day - making the trip worth every second (especially because everywhere was the perfect opportunity for a photoshoot!). Jen and I were ready to run over every child with a wheelbarrow.
The weather is changing and it's getting cold... the hunt is on for the perfect "reallllly high rubber boots" and wind proof jackets... Darren got me the warmest jacket that the North Face store sells. I look like an Eskimo. Bring on the cold...
Send the vibes my way for my first day... and I'll let you all know how trying to run the company on my first day goes.
