Go baby, go baby
I've been a very busy chickadee for the past week and a half. Let's recap, shall we?

12/10 - Had Nikki and Chez over for dinner. Killed two bottles of wine and had a very merry evening.
12/11 - Saw Die Hard for the first time. Was surprised by how good it is.
12/12 - Awkward night spent as a fifth wheel and/or way too sober for the company. Can't win 'em all.
12/13 - Went to a huge blues party in Rogers Park. Had some spectacular dances, ate very tasty desserts and was doubly inspired to throw a dance at my apartment next month.
12/14 - Had Amanda over for dinner. Made a vegan Mediterranean feast with only a little mishap when I discovered that making hummus in a blender really doesn't work.
12/15 - Had Leanne over for dinner. Made a really good mac and cheese, caught up on life and love lives.
12/16 - Observed a Justin musician interview and experienced a heavy metal burger at Kuma's. Very tasty.
12/17 - Office holiday dinner in Evanston. Free food and wine with my cool coworkers? Yes please!
12/18 - Intelligentsia in the south loop and German Christmas market, two firsts for me.
12/19 - Dinner at the Hollywood Grill and then Bluetopia with more spectacular dances.
12/20 - Had a pretty spectacular baking failure, but made amends by drinking glogg and watching Muppet Christmas Carol with Jenny.
12/21 - Survived the -12 degree weather to go to the Intelligentsia on Broadway and the Chicago Diner with Amanda and YZ. Got back about an hour ago and am still thawing.

Tomorrow I'll finally be back at Fizz and then Tuesday it's back to Madison for a few days. I'm still in slight disbelief every now and then at what my life has become, but in a very, very good way. Yes, I'm often confused or bemused, but I'm also really happy. I like it.
