Buzzed

Going back to work after a three-day weekend is always such a drag. :P But here I am. It's kind of quiet this morning so I have a few moments to blog.

The weekend was pretty nice. Started off with a trip to Taste of Chicago after work on Friday... sampled some toasted ravioli, a chopped chicken lime salad, Bailey's ice cream, and blue raspberry italian ice. All of it very yummy. Then I strolled up to Millennium Park and took some photos of the gardens and the skyline.

Saturday I got my hair cut, and it ended up being much shorter than I wanted/expected - almost a buzz cut - but I suppose it's good for the summer. Plus my hair grows fast anyway. :) That evening I went to my parents' house for dinner, walked around the block with Mom and Mocha, and helped Dad set up his new fishing rod for his Sunday fishing trip with the Galvezes. Sunday I went to the Young Adult Mass at Old St. Pat's and picked up my WLBP volunteer t-shirt afterwards. Saw both Dan and Michael at mass which was nice, since I hadn't talked to them in quite a while. I had pretty bad allergies that day so I took some antihistamine and fell asleep for a little bit, then actually felt energetic enough to go for a short workout when I woke up from my nap. Saw some fireworks from my balcony that evening. Monday I headed out to the burbs again. My parents and I went over to Jaclyn's house for a bbq. Mark was there too. It was a good time.

Here's a pic of the fireworks from Sunday. (Bummer that it ended up off-center)
