Welp it was a lovely mild Halloween evening so it’s only appropriate that a huge storm just rolled in.

A HUGE shoutout to all the parents dressed up with their kids tonight. The Minion family and the Beetlejuice family were personal faves.

Lord give me the confidence of a child who takes 2 pieces of Halloween candy without even asking.

Good morning to everyone except the man who sat next to me on the train with the worst most burnt smelling coffee ever.

Fiddle Leaf Plant

Fiddle Leaf Plant

Today at work a resident asked if I wanted a plant they were getting rid of & I was like β€œOmg, yes! Thank you!” After posting on IG, I learned that I am the new owner of a kinda fancy plant lol.

The person in sales/marketing at Marquette (my college alma mater) who came up with the idea to run commercials during the Loyola (my high school alma mater & huge feeder school) football game tonight deserves a big ole raise.

At a neighborhood bar where they have both the World Series on & my high school’s football game on and guess which one they’re playing the sound for?

There was a young girl standing on a bench with a sign that said β€œFart on Trump” and blowing a butterfly whistle as we walked down Michigan Avenue. The vibes were amazing today.

A little girl at the Chicago protest had a sign that said β€œMy mom is sooo mad.” I love my city!

Coworker made us homemade quesadillas for lunch today! And I got to pet like 10 dogs at work this week. ☺️

This woman on the train was debating if she should go to Open House Chicago or the protest on Saturday so I took my headphones out and said β€œWhy not both?” And she and another man agreed like β€œYeah why not both???”

I’m okay with the Cubs losing to the Brewers. One, I went to Marquette. Two, Milwaukee is a great and underrated town. Three, this team knows how to hit. Four, Sausage Race. Five, if we’re going to lose to a team, at least it’s not the Cardinals.

β€œWe can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Objectively hilarious that we have family friends visiting from Australia & not only do we have to explain the whole concept of baseball but the history of the Cubs while watching this game.

A guy playing a banjo! Multiple bakery options! A bunch of local businesses selling cute stuff! My childhood friend’s local cidery! This is how I go broke.

Even though it’s 80 degrees, nothing feels more Autumny-Gilmore Girls than Lincoln Square’s Apple Fest.
