Monday Monday

This used to be on of my favorite songs as a little girl:



Last weekend felt long. Friday night Hopleaf, Saturday Jon and I made a BBQ meatloaf feast and cupcakes, and on Sunday we had brunch with Rachel & Larry at the Bongo Room followed by some CTA fun with buses.

This week I need to re-focus my energies on my core goals for 2009: Guitar, volunteering, and living a healthy lifestyle (aka, going to the gym if I'm not going to ride my bike in the winter). Over the last couple weeks I've been focusing on my volunteering goal. For example, last Thursday I sat on a Northwestern Alumni panel so undergrads could learn more about careers in marketing/advertising. Besides the torrential rain which led to severe flooding, it was a good event and one of my fellow panelists, Kate Sansone, even gave me a ride home. Tonight after work I am going to the gym upstairs and another night this week I plan to buy a music book to help inspire me to practice guitar. I'm currently learning "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" under Jon's tutelage.
