Hey Friends!
I never thought that Lady Gaga would get crazy over Tebow, but guess she was Twitter-ing him up... as is the whole country once again! The Steelers are a tough crew, and well the Broncos proved that they were the better team, albeit it was finally proven in OT. Yet again...the Broncos sure know how to build the suspense! Now this is reality TV at its finest. You just really never know what will happen in sports. Being both a Lady Gaga and Tebow fan, it's nice to see that one superstar speaks so highly of another. The praise comes from someone so unlikely too. As we all know, Tebow's faith runs very deep. As you can well imagine, it has been quite polarizing. And to see Lady Gaga, who's persona seems to be on the other end of the continuum when it comes to religion, give accolades to Tebow is so refreshing! I told my fiance wouldn't that be so cool if Lady Gaga and Tebow started dating?!?! Maybe she could sing in the church choir too. What? Realistically speaking I would have to agree with him when he said it would never happen. Still, the unlikeliness of this notion makes it all the more romantic... I live for romance! Besides, reality is often times way overrated.
Anyways, Potato and I are adjusting well in our new neighborhood. It was a toss-up between an apartment in Lincoln Park or Lakeview East, but settled on the latter as a bestie has an apartment here as well. Minus the fact that some crazy man sitting behind me on the "El" threatened "I'm going to stick this F#*$-ing thing in you!" when I was riding the train from the Southside back home around 10:30 p.m. last Thursday. I should have just cabbed it, but I was trying to familiarize myself with the train and bus system... guess it wasn't the ideal time or place to do so... Oooops. Oh! And a fire in a high-rise down my street resulted in a fatality. Other than that, it's been a nice welcome! Seriously, Chicago is quite lovely. I never thought I would ever end up in the Midwest. As the cliche goes - never say never. I really like my street too. My place is between Broadway and North Lakeshore Drive. A quiet side street with tons of dogs... LOVE! I have Argo Tea literally down my street (like barely a minute walk!) The other end is Lake Michigan where the Lincoln Park trail begins. Walgreens and CVS are like a 2 or 3 minute walk in either direction. The best part? Trader Joe's is in walking distance! My favorite market on earth! It's the newest one that opened up in Lincoln Park. I've been so busy with rotations, cooking will be a tough feat. But with all the goodies I have picked up from TJ's, I'm one happy girl:) What I highly recommend are these delicious almonds covered in dark chocolate. A 24 oz. container for $6.99... talk about a bargain! Now this after a long day combined with some Two-Buck-Chuck? A combo that certainly rights all the wrongs that have accumulated during a hard day. After all, the studies (I want to believe) say dark chocolate and a glass of wine have some very positive health benefits... whether it's mentally or physically, well...all I care about is that it puts a smile back on my face:)
Until next time...
XoX,
