Have I ever bragged about my three monitors at work? Because I love em.

My parents came to visit last weekend. They brought with them, a futon that I had in.. high school? Maybe even before then. But don’t worry, it’s not one of those crappy black metal futons, this one is comfy. And so now, I am no longer on the floor. Plus, we now have a chair and foot stool for out on the balcony. I had been sleeping on the cushions to this…

We went to see Craig Ferguson at the Chicago Theatre. He was hilarious, I love stand up comedy so much. The opener was pretty funny too, though I never caught his name. It was my first time at Chicago Theatre, pretty impressive. Thanks once again, to my awesome boss at redline, we were sitting in pretty much the best seats in the place.

This is what happened at the end:

We also went to Ikea. They love it (the above chair is from here) and I’d never been before. I finally got the neatest dish drainer ever…

My old one got lost in a move somewhere here or there. But now I say, good riddance!

Of course, we had some deep dish pizza and Italian beefs. But not enough time for a Chicago dog. Oh well, maybe next time.

And thanks to dad, my car door is no longer panel-less! Now, it’s time to fix the other window.

Next weekend, my cousin that I haven’t seen in 10+ years is visiting, for a concert. And the weekend after that, Craig is coming! Very much looking forward to both of these.

I have a million pictures that I want to post, but I am waiting on Craig to get them to me. Yes, it is all his fault.

We had an amazing time, I was really sad to leave.

Stayed at Caesar’s, but explored everywhere else. We even left the strip and went downtown, to Fremont street, which was probably my favorite part. A little more chill than the glitz and glamor of the strip.

My boss is incredibly awesome and put us on the list for the Foundation Room. That means we got to skip pass the line, for free, and had the velvet rope and elevator opened for us and closed behind us. VIP treatment, right there, kids. And I really wish I could present you with the photos right now, because this view was amazing. I have a cell phone photo….

Because I just HAD to send a photo to everyone I knew, right then. But it just doesn’t do it justice.

I had my 27th birthday last Saturday. Got to see Atoms for Peace, thanks again to my boss. Good show, amazing venue.

I have got to get a better camera.

I’m sitting out on our balcony right now, it’s 80 degrees and breezy, sun shining brightly. I just saw a little kid, run down the sidewalk, into his grandfather’s arms. So cute. Life is nice.

And I have a new favorite blog to read. So, you should read it too.

I got to see Muse! For those of you who have never heard them, here is my favorite song:

My boss is awesome. We were fourth row, right next to the stage at the United Center. Alas, I finally experienced the advantages of working for a ticket broker.

I even got a t-shirt! :)

I really miss seeing live music, for fairly cheap/free, whenever I feel like it.

Valerie and Melissa were in town this past week. Both awesome ladies. And miss them both already. Melissa’s coming back soon and I am soooooo looking forward to that.

Not to mention, Carrie Beth and Jonathan are also in town, I will get to see them soon. Maybe I need some friends who actually live in Chicago?

Nah.

Yesterday was 65 degrees and sunny. Today, the park is covered in snow again.

And last, but certainly not least…. I’M GOING TO VEGAS! with one of my all-time favorites:

It’s going to be a fun time. And I only have to wait ten days (& counting…)

I came into work today and this was on my desk. Note says “Thanks, Greta”

I got a job, started today, and I love it. I work at Redline Tickets, it’s less than two miles from where I live now, and the other employees are awesome. And they like good music. And I get to play on a computer all day. With multiple monitors. And a tiny little puppy on my lap. And I got the hook ups for tickets now. I think it is absolutely the perfect fit for me.

I am also moving to a new apartment soon, not sure where yet. Maybe, friends. Maybe, friends of friends. Maybe, total strangers. One place is even closer to work. Less than one mile away would be fantastic. Especially after spending two hours a day in a car, driving 20 miles back and forth from the suburbs, almost up to five hours if I took transportation. Sitting in traffic is torturous for the soul.

I kinda like not being certain where I’m heading. I know I’ll be happy wherever. I am looking forward to the newness of change. And paying less in rent. And not having to drive in the snow. And more walking around, less sitting on my ass.

I have some amazing friends, thankful for all of them. Close and distant. Having friends makes living life, easier.

I need someone to talk to, I keep making this post longer and longer, filled with nonsense.

In other news, my hair is getting really long. You know you care.
