GT10

i am one of 9 lucky ladies that gets to join my friends on what we have labeled Girls Trip- On our first girls trip -GT08 we went to the mountains in California- on the next GT09 trip we went to Wimberley Texas, and the last GT (GT10)- all 9 of us went about an hour away up in Michigan, right on the lake. They were all amazing, and i feel so lucky to be able to spend a week every summer with my lovely girl friends, (shout out to....Adair, Mary, Hayley, Rachel, Jess, Margo, Val, and Colie)... not to mention dinner and wine once a week with my Chicago gals!
I am sharing with you a video my very amazing and talented friend Jessica (not pictured in video b/c she's the camera lady!) she shot this and edited the whole thing of our last trip. Please read about her new company Re:think Post, her and her husband started. Enjoy the video! i love my friends.

Lazy Weekend...

Quick blog for a Monday. Had a nice little weekend, felt like it was the first in a while where i didn't have a PLAN. On Saturday night, andrew and i went for Sushi... we tend to try new places all the time. We had fun with our iphones after dinner whilst finishing our BYOdrinks. Here is some of that out come:
a nice little ring shot- take with the hisptamatic app. love it.











And here is a little one of me:

and - my man taking a picture of me


and yesterday - just lounging on the couch:

Oh how i wish i were back in that position now. Instead i am passing time, and preparing for a huge blizzard that is supposed to hit Chicago (that i'm secretly excited about). Except I was reminded that we do not have a garage.. not cute for digging my car out... hmmm. wake up extra early tomorrow. Off to my 5th week in a row of Bikram Yoga... in my class on sat. i asked my teacher..... "so, um... does this make you skinny".... in her cutest little hippie yogi voice... "oh yeah... it will really change your body.." Uh huh.. it better, shit's gonna get pricey real soon.

Bloggers Unite

Hello Blogger Friends! And by friends i mean Cortney - I have been reading your blog for a while now and it really inspired me to get mine started- and lo and behold I started one back in 2009, (when i was unemployed.) Life is much different now then it was back then. One thing hasn't changed though- I am still living "The Winchester Years" - Yep we moved across the street from our old house. Since then, I did pass that Basic Skills Test- and I ended up getting a job back in the talent agent industry (what i was searching so hard for). I have been in my current position as a talent agent since Oct. of 2009. PHEW!
Now let me see if i can add a picture on here- i am slowly learning this blog world. I'm impressed i figured out how to link to Cortney's blog! I am not sure what kinds of things I plan on talking about on here, but i do want to mention that i just started Bikram Yoga here - I bought a Groupon for 2 months of unlimited yoga and I am happy (and shocked) to report that I have been going 4 days a week for the past month! WHO AM I? It's 105 degrees in there, and i have fallen i love. I have gotten to the point that I cannot wait to go again! After my 2 months is up- I gotta talk to my husband about forking out the dough to continue going.. haha.
This blog can be about- Soup? (always a winner in my book) , Bikram Yoga, Running 5ks, My sweet dog (pictures to come when i figure that out), or photos i take with my phone, stories of my girls nights... possibilities are endless and i am excited to get started.....
Now for a picture....
this is my puppy Chai Luna Thomas Chobot. She's the best.


one more photo:
this is my husband and I on Halloween- we went as characters from the tv show Party Down (not a lot of people got it) but we sure thought we were clever. One more thing I could write about in my blog- TV (and movies..)
Till next time blogger-sphere...xoxo
