yup.

Wedding!, originally uploaded by yenna.

my friends margaret and john got married last week and i was lucky enough to attend the wedding and bachelorette party. both of which i have never been to. it was lovely and great and i can't speak enough good things about it all, accept that i looked like a whale and twas in the middle of a week where i was having...

well, ladies, come here. dudes, please go watch baseball for a moment. gals. you know where you look at yourself and just want to give up then you go to find a dress or pants at a store and you just end up crying for 3 days. yea. hey me too! what the shit is THAT about.

okay, dudes you can come back now.

so, i've forced andy to adopt healthier lifestyle habits with me. it's been a couple of weeks. at first i started a pretty good routine of running a few miles a day, and used my nike+ and actually signed up and got all the widgets (man, that is a great program) but then we went to nearly new bikes and got bikes. so i don't run anymore, i just bike. we've biked every day. today we did about 10 miles along the lakefront path, stopping to watch the dogs at the dog beach, obvs because man thems some cute dogs. and we have completely cut out the really shitty foods and it hasn't been... awful. and i feel a lot better, so that's good! and andy feels good too and seems to enjoy it a lot more than i do, so good for him.

i haven't really worked at all in the last month, so i've gone a bit nuts because of th at. just sitting at home twiddling thumbs, waiting fo rhte call. then my phone broke, so i cant even wait for that. there have been lots of things! other than weddings and bikes and exercise. andy went to la and i crashed his car and my back is spasm-ing and we hula hooped in the streets with strangers andand and. clearly we live a very rich and fulfilled life.

tonight we go to a black tie gala at derek's apartment so i need to start doing my hair for that. nice to see you again, blog.

ferris wheel, originally uploaded by yenna.

ahhh my pals from the boston were here for the weekend and we made a trip to navy pier - which i had never been other than a late night imax dark knight screening. is it weird that i sort of loved it? the ferris wheel was supa fun and we made the right decision to go at dusk and see the sunset on chicago from way high. lovely!

i could talk lots about the weekend and this and that and certain unnecessary things we went through but it's no matter, really. it was fun, for the most part, and all that i really realized and learned was that (and sorry if this is mad gay) my boyfriend is basically the greatest person on the planet. i'm just so happy to have him, and i don't know how i got so lucky, and even when i was sitting on the couch, frustrated and crying, i was still full of joy because he was there, and sat with me and held my hand and listened. and that's wonderful.

okay, that gross rant is done.

uhm, have i mentioned how great mad men is. oh man it is. except this week the episode started with a decemberists song that was so misplaced and RONG, that it took me out of the whole episode. like, it was ridiculous on so many levels and dont get me wrong, i love me some decemberists but being badly edited and interwoven within a show that takes place in 1961 and is usually exquisitely precise about such... man. what the fuck, mad men. what. the. fuck.

i didn't work today, and fear another light week, AND hr lost an invoice of mine and my check was $900 short (HOLY SHIT) so i'm on another big JOB SEARCH. but, luckily, it isn't as stressful and dire as past JOB SEARCH because i have a super hot sugar daddy.

kidding.

such concludes our blog entry as we are about to go on a road trip for SONIC. SONIC!!!
