Yes, I have neglected my blog for quite some time now. I could blame it on being busy or not having anything interesting to say.
Chicago and Michigan:
Suzanne, Farid, and I went out Chicago last weekend for our third and final (hopefully) RKS Conference. It went stupendously, with about 17 Kraft trainees showing up. I had an awesome time getting to know the trainees, the Northwestern participants, Kristy from Purdue, and The Ben's from Indiana. The party ROKed and a good time was had by all.
On Sunday,
Chicago smelled like Chocolate. Not unlike the day that New York smelled like maple syrup. Could this be global warming? Biological warfare? That would give new meaning to the phrase, "Death by chocolate"!!!
Michigan, however, doesn't smell as sweet. But we had an awesome meeting with the leaders of AIESEC Michigan and I experience a loaf of soup at the Pizza House!
Paul's Birthday:
Happy Belated Birthday, Paulie! We celebrated in true Paul fashion with some live tunes, courtesy of Scott T, and lots and lots of hard liquor. Tomorrow night we're going to hit up the best Jamaican/Soul Food in NYC to continue the tradition of a week-long birthday celebration.
Mystery CD:
I have a phantom in my apartment. Mysteriously, Jill Scott's
Beautifully Human CD appeared on my dresser in my bedroom while I was traveling this weekend. Neither of my roommates have any inkling of where it came from. That particular CD has some serious importance linked to it, so I'm trying not to draw any conclusions to it's origin, but I am both baffled and intrigued by it's sudden materialization. If my suspicions are correct then I am in awe of the lengths that it must have taken to get that CD into my possession. I'm also wondering if I should change my locks! :)
Thanksgiving Holiday:
After working the past 19 consecutive days, I am eager to away for a real vacation. The tentative plan is to drive from Portland straight to Seattle to catch Warren Miller's
Higher Ground and then hitting up the freshies on Sunday. My parents have no cell phone service and no high-speed internet at their new house in Silver Lake, Washington, so I'm destined for a week of serious relaxation. Looking forward to meeting up with family and old friends.
That's all of my news for now. In need of some serious
Jen and Jill time tonight since I've been traveling so much and mama is heading off to Michigan herself tomorrow. Thai food will be consumed and Lost will be watched!
