I Love: very dry humor, traveling, reading, laughing until I cry, listening to music, going to concerts (especially outdoor ones in the summer), hanging out with friends, joking around with Matthew, all animals, watching my nieces & nephews grow up before my very eyes (they are the cutest and funniest kids ever), learning, walking places (I despise DRIVING, and even more PARKING, in the city.), family gatherings, new shoes, new clothes, accessories, drinking with friends (and the occasional bottle of red by myself), taking pictures (especially of nonsense), going to sporting events, playing sports, being outdoors (rather it be on a beach, a boat, snow skiing or a park, I love it all.), drinking coffee and getting caught up on what is going on in the world (and the world of celebrities, of course), pop culture trivia, playing tricks on my friends and laughing hysterically at their reactions, mani/pedis, texting friends about random things I see or hear throughout the day (I am stuck in a car by myself all day for work. I desire some form of interaction & laughter with my friends.), playing boardgames when I'm snowed in, Sephora, indie bands, recollection of fun times in the past (or even from the night before), how I feel after I force myself to work-out hard at the gym, facials (minus the extractions), drinking in the daytime, getting into the shenanigans that normally accompany day-time drinking, work bonuses, drinking wine (especially red, with the occasional white in the summer), eating sushi (too often), paying bills, commenting, questioning, quoting, getting a great deal on something, free samples, having a clean home, looking at pictures, doing laundry (my fave chore, seriously!), trying new restaurants (especially ethnic ones), scratching off items on to-do lists, on-line shopping, cooking (starting to get fairly good at it too), cleaning my kitchen, Damen Avenue & Division Street in Wicker Park/Bucktown, buying items for my home, designer handbags, picking out people who are carrying FAKE handbags (People, you aren't fooling anyone), being organized (though I rarely am), buying myself a much deserved (I figure) designer handbag, decorating my home, going back to Columbus in the Fall for a football game to see my friends and pretend that we are still in college, playing with my dog (Sky Masterson) and cat (Brodie), pretending Matt doesn't own a piranha (named piranha, btw), Neiman Marcus, Saks, Oak Street, trying out new recipes, putting off ALL administrative duties for work as long as possible (i.e. anything for AHM, Expense Reports, drug sample sheets and inventories, & SalesPro), and of course boutique shopping. Oh, and I LOVE living in Chicago. The most amazing city in the entire world. The city that offers everything you could possibly want to do, with some of the friendliest people on top of that. We got it all folks!

Anything about the Kennedy family...and of course Chick-Lit. I subscribe to & read A LOT of magazines. These pertain to celeb gossip (US Weekly & People), fashion (Vogue, W & Bazaar), medical journals (work stuff that I try to stay abreast with) (that's what he said), shopping (Lucky, Domino & CS), world news & politics (Newsweek), cooking (Bon Appetit & Country Cooking), travel (Conde Nast Traveller) and entertainment (Time Out Chicago & Chicago Magazine). I am obsessed with reading the news daily on-line and in the REDEYE as well (especially the weekend edition). I also find myself occasionally reading Mattie's PC magazine (I love the info on new & useful websites) and Maxim (after I have exhausted all my subscriptions, I need something else). NOTE: I have NO idea why after I type & in this column it is followed by a ;. Damn myspace and your Books column...
My grandparents for all the lessons they taught me and memories I will hold with me always. My parents for all the advice I thought I never wanted but really needed. Matthew for his all his courage and love he shows me daily.
