Musings of an ABC: of tights and tight situations
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2011/12/last-two-weeks-have-gotten-away-from-me.html
Musings of an ABC. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Of tights and tight situations. The last two weeks have gotten away from me again! That wasn't planned. It's been busy at work, and I've done overtime nearly every day this month. But that's okay! Gotta save up those comp hours for honeymoon, right? Months and months of tights! Snagged on THE BOTTOM OF MY DESK WTF. After a brief flurry of consultation with Internet and colleagues, I went out during lunch to buy an emergency bottle of clear nail polish.

Musings of an ABC: and so it is done
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2011/06/and-so-it-is-done.html
Musings of an ABC. Friday, June 10, 2011. And so it is done. And so it is done: my boss has been told, my 2 weeks notice has been given, and I'm set to move back to DC and start my new job July. What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been! It's the first place where I was really and truly on my own, and I can't help but have a special place in my heart for it. Kind of like a first real love, maybe. What makes you think this is a good idea? T: I want a cookie. T: I WANT A COOKIE NOW. That, or it really.

Musings of an ABC: overheard
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2011/06/overheard.html
Musings of an ABC. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. I meant to write this a while back but it totally slipped my mind until Tyler requested that I re-tell this story to his family when we visited this past weekend. So here it is:. Girl A: So you know how my brother is living with that girl that he's totally not sleeping with? I mean, like. Knows that they're sleeping together, but they insist that they're just friends? Girl B: Oh yeah, totally. Are your parents still pissed about that? My parents aren't stupid.

Musings of an ABC: January 2012
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Musings of an ABC. Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Happy 2012, everyone! We're not even two weeks into the new year, and it already feels like a lot has happened. For one thing, I turned 26 a scant three days in 2012, so I'm starting off the new year closer to 30 than 20. It's sort of a weird feeling, I guess, to be on the mid/late side of my 20s. What did I ever do in my early 20s anyway? Shouldn't I have a lot more accomplished by now? Like popped out a kid or three? Experienced Chicago's worst blizzard i...

Musings of an ABC: April 2011
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Musings of an ABC. Friday, April 29, 2011. Today is a day of milestones! On to my tailoring adventure. One of my Evanston friends recommended a great tailor who happened to be quite close to my apartment, so today I dropped in to see what could be done about my dress. The tailor was a tiny, middle-aged Korean woman, as nice as could be. Our exchange went something like this:. What can I help you with? Me: Hi, I need to get this dress tailored. Tailor: What do you need done? Me: I have no idea. After the ...

Musings of an ABC: November 2010
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Musings of an ABC. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. But come on, guys, show a little creativity! And being constantly terrified one of them will want to make banal small talk. Thankfully my boss is like the greatest ever (he's a Brooks Brothers guy - super classy), so things could be worse. I think I'd just shoot myself if I had to work for someone dumb/incompetent/takes job too seriously. To continue on that thought, here are other things I'm thankful for this year:. Labels: things Im thankful for. Part of...

Musings of an ABC: February 2011
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Musings of an ABC. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. My coworker, Young Finance Guy, invited me and Tyler to double-date with him and his boyfriend for Chicago's Restaurant Week. I don't know if YFG has been to Restaurant Week before, but it was Tyler and my first time going to any sorts of restaurants like these. We decided to go to the Bistro Bordeaux. So you're just going to have to trust me on how delicious and beautiful everything was. And now, bed. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. So I signed up to do this in...

Musings of an ABC: August 2011
http://vxyuex.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Musings of an ABC. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. New place, new job, new things. I don't mean that in an overly dramatic way or anything like that. The two months have just been.a lot. But I'm alive! I'm renting a bedroom in a charming little townhouse with a retired couple who are just as nice as could be. I'm within walking distance of a metro stop, a grocery store, a shopping mall, and a church. My new job is great, I really like my co-workers, and its location is definitely exciting.
