Since it's been almost 2 months since my last post, I figured I should play catch-up.
My sister may poke fun, but here's another food/project picture. These were peanut butter cups I made (back in November...not that it's been awhile or anything...).
Jeff and I met up with our friend Laura downtown. We went to a burger bar in Wrigleyville. After 2 hours of waiting, we got a table. It was pretty tasty, but I can't say waiting that long for food is typically worth it.
I didn't take any photos around my birthday, but it happened, and there were good times with friends. Within a group of college friends, there are about six of us with mid-late November birthdays. We often have a get-together to celebrate (I think this was the fourth or fifth year of celebrating).
Thanksgiving dinner (I love that we have colorful fiestaware.) Jeff's mom and Samson came down and we prepared dinner. It was a fun time :). That night I became one of "those people" who goes to the store at a ridiculous hour after Thanksgiving. It probably wasn't worth it and I don't anticipate doing the same thing next year.
My other big activity from Thanksgiving weekend was completing my first race! I entered a 5k near our apartment. My time wasn't great, but I didn't have high expectations. My goal was to finish. I had wanted to give myself something to work toward with my running, so I decided to finish a race of some sort by the end of 2009. The weather wasn't too cold and the course wasn't overly crowded.
Jeff came to the finish line to cheer me on.
Crossing the finish line.
I'll end this post now, as it is becoming fairly large. I'll get to December sometime soon :).
