2010 - Day Seven

It is beginning to look a lot less like Christmas. However, the trees on Park Avenue are all still lit and they look beautiful. Especially since I actually got out of work at 5 PM today and did not have to walk to whole way home in pitch darkness.

2010 - Day Six

About a year and a half ago, I joined a Book Club with my friend Kumi. It has become something that I look forward to monthly. I have made some great friends and it is always a guarenteed good time. This month, we read South of Broad by Pat Conroy. We all really enjoyed the book, but it is a little out there. Way too many storylines. We all agreed that if we had it to do over we would have meet once a week this month instead, and discussed each section of the book. Here's my book club with some new friends at a karaoke bar!

2010 - Day Five

So in order to celebrate the last day of the Big Ten Football season Akeli came over to watch the Orange Bowl. We decide that we were going to have everything bagel sandwiches and chips. The chips didn't make it too far and this is Akeli being sad about it.

I did not make it through the whole football game, but I did realize Iowa had won when I saw the I-O-W-A text from my friend, Dana this morning. You just have to love those Hawkeyes!

2010 - Day Four

Monday Night Football is over unfortunately. Oh well, it is the first night of the Bachlor. Flash back to last season, when Mr. Nice Guy says, "My whole life, everyone has thought that I was too perfect." It was just one of those cheesy lines that has kept me coming back, season after season. Amanda is addicted too, even if it is only to making snyde comments at it.

2010 - Day Three

Oh the snuggie. We all got one for Christmas and mine was a Packer one. Here I am with the Packer game in the background. Unfortunately, after the game, I had to take the trip from hell back to New York. We were suppose to leave at 6:50 PM, but we didn't leave Milwaukee until 12 AM.

2010 - Day Two

Unfortunately the holidays are over and it is back to the real world. Chelsea starts class again on Monday in Kansas City. Nicki went with her for the 9 hour drive back. So we all went to Panera for breakfast this morning as our last family outing, before they hit the road.

2010 - Day One

We've arrived in the next decade, and as promised I am reviving the picture a day blog! In the year 2009, I went to a bunch of weddings, 2 football games, and two 21st birthday parties. However, I was still able to save a week of my vacation time at work, which I used to take the last week off. It has been glorious doing nothing. I capped off my vacation days with a trip down to Chicago to visit my friend, Jeet. Here we are ringing in the New Year Chicago style. Happy New Year!
