![Catching up.
Pictured above are props from my annual Real Housewives party. Lemons because I was Yolanda from Beverly Hills & she has a fabulous lemon grove. Is it a bit ironic that she has Lyme disease? Bad joke. Like any great housewife, I used the party as an opportunity to promote something. I promoted a Stella & Dot trunk show I hosted with Erin. Feel free to shop online here if you haven’t gotten enough goodies through Stella & Dot already.
Last week I had thoughts about the marathon. It was tragic. I kept thinking about all the raw emotions that you feel when you push yourself so far, and then just coming to terms with everything that happened. I felt sadness for Boston, the families of those lost & hurt, the marathoners & pretty much everyone involved.
We saw Book of Mormon last Saturday. I thought it was a riot. So many vulgar words, so many songs that sounded- so random & incredibly witty. It was amazing.
Spring [or lack of it] is killing me.
Group projects are the worst.
Ryan & I started re-watching Arrested Development in anticipation of the new season. And well… that show is the best.
I watched an hours worth of Sophia Grace & Rosie videos from the Ellen show on Sunday.
My dad’s birthday was last week & this is my belated internet shout out to him. He’s the coolest & makes the world’s BEST old fashioned.
I’m looking forward to dinner at Davanti Enoteca tonight with my book/dinner club. Have you been? It’s the most delightful Italian restaurant located on Taylor Street. We had an epic meeting about a month ago at the Aviary- documented here by Emily.
Speaking of book clubs… current books that are being read include: The Secret Race by Tyler Hamilton & Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss
I’m anticipating some spring/summertime travel adventures. At the moment the countdown is on for our visit with my tumblr kindred spirit Meg & more travels out westward.
I bought printed jeans today, on sale- even better.
Last night I started watching Dateline [shout out to Kayla & Selena! Keith Morrison ftw]. I got so spooked, I had to turn it off because I was watching alone. I struggled with getting out of bed to go to the bathroom. I ran fast- turned on every single light- & ran as fast as I could back to bed.
Long catch up, but it’s been a while. Missed you all! I can’t wait to read all about upcoming weddings, all of your babies, trip & cruise recaps, unexpected surgery recoveries, food you make, gifs + emotions & what not. xo](http://25.media.tumblr.com/1d6198513d2a9b3d13ce030f2b848100/tumblr_mlrsiwDx6D1qafpcio1_500.jpg)

Click a few dots, and this program will try to guess your age.
It’s part of an experiment to analyze how motor control changes with age. It nearly guessed my age [ 29- my birthday is next month].

Even if you’re not a long distance runner, this is such an interesting article on humans, our bodies & running.
Btw, anyone else running the Chicago Marathon this year? I signed up again.

This American Life: Harper High School part 1 and part 2
Have you guys listened to this? I listened to both parts this weekend. The two part series gives an inside look at a school in Chicago that has seen an enormous amount of violence in the past few years. Act one: Rules to Live By really got me. It’s a worthwhile listen.
