I've been twenty four years on this earth. Chicago dwelling realist/skeptic. I do crash safety research, mandolin, photography and coffee. I'm engaged to Analiese.
Coffee and donuts, wonderful stories, train ride with my Hubble bubble, 2 Amigo deliciousness, Jumanji, Jurassic Park and pizza. I’m an absurdly lucky girl.
Now Ana can stop asking me where neighborhoods are. :)

Analiese and I are chilling before dinner, tumbling, listening to Margot and the Nuclear So-and-Sos with some nice new incense burning on the windowsill.
It really was a good weekend, that featured pancakes at Cozy Corner, gigantic burgers at Kuma’s, a bit of tourism rubbernecking at Hard Rock Cafe, Navy Pier and Michigan Ave. We’re both tired, but in a good way. It’s good to have a mother-in-law that I don’t hate.
Someone watercolored my house. Also, pretty much everywhere else.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the great city of Chicago! (Attention people who live in Shaumburg and Tinley Park - it is NOT your birthday. Evanston and Oak Park - you’re cool.)
To 175 more years of GREATNESS! I <3 everything about you Chicago!

Looking for a new roommate. We only want someone drama-free and stable, looking to stay 12+ mos. See a description and photos after the link.
It’s green, it’s the last word on cheap, and it’s healthy too. Biking is good.
A lot of bikers in the city are good too. JUST NOT ALL OF THEM.
The road was originally built for motor vehicles. Crash reports are designed with motor vehicles in mind. So are the street markings and traffic controls. Bikers are guests. We should treat them with respect.
They should also treat cars with respect. That means either behaving like a pedestrian OR obeying 100% of the rules of the road. Most bikers do stupid things like ride in the middle of the lane much slower than the speed limit or cut through traffic controls without stopping or make illegal turns. That’s not cool. That will get you or someone else killed.
