The river walk in downtown Naperville isn't lake Michigan or anything quite so majestic, but it isn't too shabby.

My headphones at work are rather destroyed... It means I can only listen with one ear. So I don't jump when someone talks to me, but I also cant down mindless chatter...

Happy groundhog day! I love, love these shoes. They are from the kardashian kollection from sears. They are tall and ridiculously spiky, but they are probably my second favorite pair of shoes. And yes, I did walk to work in them.

Happy February! This is the last day before metra hikes its fares by 30%. At least this ten ride pass is still valid for the next month.

P.S. Can you guess what book I am reading?

I always knew I was nerdy, but I never knew how nerdy how I could be. Until I met the bf, who is just as nerdy as me. He claims not as weird, but look at this spread. Anniversary gift from a great girlfriend.

Today was a celebration of a one year anniversary at one of my favorite restaurants.

A gift from one of my roommates, this is one of the best parts of the day when I'm in the suburbs and actually get up early enough to watch the news and drink coffee before leaving.
