mb and i realized this morning that ever since we've moved to chicago, we seem to be much closer to celebrities. well, maybe not actual celebrities, but we now know people who know people, which is the best we figure we'll ever do. true, mb knows his share of olympic athletes and ironman winners from being a college swimmer and triathlete. i am a little athletic too, but the olympic marathoners don't run from the 4:30 markers, so no rubbing shoulders with the greats for me (although i did get passed by a rather portly tommy thompson once in a 5k run).
so one of our bosses has a wife who comes from some amount of money, and he tells stories about hanging out with hilary clinton. during my job promotion interview yesterday, i learned all about my bosses' various famousnesses, including being on cnn and featured in time magazine. but best of all, it turns out that one of my blogmate's friends was a debutante! i had only heard of this before in movies, but you know that whole thing where eligible women get to dress up all pretty and get displayed to the society men at their parents' social gatherings? not only do i know someone who knows someone, but i get to ride in that someone's someone's car during my upcoming trip to new orleans. my butt will be sitting on a seat that gets sat on by greatness. job interview or not: i'm really going places now.
