this weather is weird

Where is my mind?

Seriously, I think I left it somewhere. Life has been in fast forward mode for the past two weeks for a myriad of reasons mostly having to do with work and it's definitely not going to slow down any time soon. I am going to update via the longest picture post - sorry. Also, sorry about the weird order, blogger needs to figure out an easier way to edit your picture layout in a post.

My closet is actually very organized - it may just not look like it since it's jammed pack. From left to right - black dresses (dressy, cocktail, casual), various dresses (cocktail), AA dresses, nice skirts, silk tops (by color), cardigans (by color), dress shirts (by color), blazers, various jackets. Don't even get me started on shoes. P.S. someone should loan me a closet!

One time it snowed pretty hard. Now we've shifted from snow to rain. Spring doesn't exist in Chicago, just an extension of the cold and grey.

This is the new pup Zoey. She's a beaut and extra lovey. I lurve her lots and lots, even when she takes up the whole bed. Also, check out that boxer face! What's not to like?

We had a photo shoot in the kitchen. Real talk.

Two different colored eyes like David Bowie. So Bowie + Ziggy = Zoey

Sweetly sly.

The pup and I had tea in bed. She's been pretty good about getting up in the morning. We usually wake up at the same time during the week and then on weekends we go out, eat, and back to bed. A girl after my own heart.

This weekend was the Chicago International Music and Movies Festival which Dan worked and deejayed at. Lots of fun. Tons of people. Some of the highlights were seeing Penny Arcade perform, watching the final cut of William S. Burroughs: A Man Within, and just hanging out. Tonight is the final night with DJ Spooky, which should be awesome.

DJ Dan getting to it. I left early this night but I guess the dance party went till 5:30 AM. I am getting too old for that kind of dancing.

The HYSTK crew just had an in house production. One of the reasons for very few free hours in my life. This is the bedroom of a little boy complete with every Ninja Turtle action figure ever made.

Meeting of the minds.

Iphone Joe, Casey in Motion, and if you look close enough a tired pitbull trying out the set bed.

Air Bud. Actually her name really is Bud - at least for now. She belongs to Casey B from HYSTK. He found her about two weeks ago on the side of the

road all bloodied and skinny. Apparently she was a breeder for dog fighting, but what makes it worse is that it looked like someone just kicked her in the eye and left her on the street - she's got a big ole' infection in one eyes that's being treated now. But at least this poor pup has a home now and a million boys to give her pats on the head and tasty treats. Too bad this dog would put the chomp on Zoey or else

they could be bff's.

Production dog.

Growing up means actually using those coupons and making lists. Here we have my grocery list and Zoey's shopping list.

One of Zoey's past times is being nosey and watching people on Damen joining it with the occasional bark. What a weirdo.

A mountain of CIMMfest booklets.

Seen outside of Zoey's Vet office. They're apparently very serious about this whole internet thing.
