getting in touch with my... ?

after a year and a half, the time has come.
and i'm wasting it.

i moved to chicago for a job last summer, and have loved getting to explore a fabulous city and meet wonderful people i am proud to call friends. it has been a little bit challenging doing the distance-relationship thing with mb, but since we've both been busy, i had managed to keep to a relative minimum the where-is-this-thing-going when-will-we-be-together-again whining. for a while, every time he called, i was hoping it was going to be the call where he told me he was moving to chicago. naturally, no sooner had i decided to stop worrying about it when he actually did call and tell me he's moving to chicago.

let me pause briefly here: HE'S MOVING TO CHICAGO! very excited. but back to my story.

so i have a few weeks left of completely unadulterated girlie-ness without compromise- bring on the fruity drinks, hours-long gossip sessions with the girls ("I can't be-LIEVE he DID that to you... it's like, what-EVER..."), twice as many half-the-fat cookies, taking hours to curl my hair before leaving for the night. so how have i been spending my time?

1) burger and bloody mary while watching the packers get clobbered
2) admire my relatively new power drill and wonder what apartment project i could unleash it on
3) spend hours re-installing my mp3 collection after re-formatting my computer over the holiday
4) motionless in front of espn2 stunt dirt biking championships
4) tell blogmate that mb is moving to chicago, prompting the obvious response "now we have to hurry up and do the stuff we'd said we'd do before he moved here. now let's go drink beer at the map room in bucktown! and when are we going to slum it at jimmy's woodlawn tap or play fooseball at the pub over $1 pbr?"

yeah, i need to cultivate that feminine side a little. from here on out, it's all shoe shopping, pedicures, and decorating my apartment in cotton candy pink with bunnies.
