sigh. last morning/afternoon/night was a frenzy. i was at work until 7 last night and was ready to collapse. its a-okay. we have a new person in our downtown lunch "crew": dave k. when i got back from our fried chicken lunch w/ a side of white bread (hehe) @ harold's i had to swallow a couple antacids to keep my bell-eh from exploding. a week of salads and veggies followed up with oily food doesn't do abby's bod-eh good . . . i mean well . . . no i mean good. whatevs. i, fob. after work, i took a stroll on monroe and headed east to meet up liss and we took the red line to fullerton. look at me! woo-hoo! im not the naive suburban girl anymore. i take public transportation, walk when it says dont walk, northern direction is not up at the sky, and i havent pulled out my laminated map in 2 weeks. we met up with paul/pj and watched the bears preseason game @ barleycorn -- black-n-tans, brrrr and some chicken wings. 15 minute car ride and i was home. awesomest! when i got back to the townhome, i talked with my roommates (cousin/ninang and family friend) for about an hour. granted, i lost my buzz but it was a cool talk.

i can honestly say that i'm happy.

aren't you proud? not you, you! no, no . . . the person behind you . . . yes! YOU!
