ACK! I'm almost 35!!

And I think because I'm almost 35 I keep using the word ACK, from good old Cathy comic strip.  Anyway, lots of action per usual, summing it up in photos.



Bill's knee is SO MUCH BETTER, he can hopefully go to work on April 11th.  Please let him go back to work, although it will make the puppies super sad.

Bill looking dapper as usual, at the super duper crazy fun Thaw benefit for Links Hall.

Work is crazy crazy crazy as usual in the Spring, as we are gearing up for our Industry Events Series.
I'm so work crazed I dressed to match our branding:

And we're a bit behind schedule, and I took 3 days off this week because the Greeks were supposed to come in but now its pushed back a week.  SIGH.

I went out to celebrate Molly's birthday - she is about to have her THIRD DAUGHTER!  Its so exciting for her, and she looks amazing per usual.

Moving into Spring, Rachel and I started a "Seed Draft" to correspond with the guys Fantasy Football Draft.  We got lots of fun stuff:

And lastly, there is an awesome new chicken place that opened by us called The Art of Chicken and it is Amazeballs.
Rambling March post.....finished!

I went to WGN today!

I hitched along on a field trip to WGN today with a broadcast journalism class.  The presenter is an Alumni, and the teacher was awesome to let me go with.
Here is me nerding out on WGN broadcasters:

One week later

Ok, so one week has gone by so quickly since Bill's surgery.  We have realized some challenges:

  • Bill Showering.  He has, thankfully, but thanks to Mary-Frances for dropping off a shower chair!
  • Bill doing anything:  Putting dishes away, washing dishes, folding laundry (although I don't believe that one whatsoever) he has such a hard time balancing on his crutches that I need to do it all. 
  • Cooking:  Out of the question
  • Filling up his cooler with 7lbs of ice every 5 hours:  This is a huge challenge - the ice melts and becomes water that sloshes around, its a pain in the butt, and although I have been creative making ice, I can't use all homemade ice because of this suction thing in the cooler so I also have to buy ice (wow its expensive when you buy it all the time)
  • Going places:  Bill went to his fantasy baseball draft last Saturday, which was on a second floor. I'm happy he went, he is SO BORED and needs to get out, but then he fell asleep for many hours afterwards, it takes a lot out of him.
We're getting there!  Being the only shoveler of 9 inches of snow kinda sucked yesterday, but its what you gotta do.  I'm thrilled we're homeowners, don't get me wrong, but man there is a lot to shovel!  I'm glad our neighbors are nice enough to help us out.

Anyway, Columbia closed early yesterday due to the storm, and this happened:

That was dramatic!

All for now.....
