This morning I got lost on my way to work.

You'd think after two months I wouldn't do that anymore, but you'd be wrong. I dropped Josh off at the gym and took a different route to work and got completely lost in downtown Chicago.

I noticed that they were hanging holiday decorations and my first reaction was that it was too early for that nonsense. But...

This Saturday is November 15. My mom's birthday! She is coming for a visit and will be staying with Josh and I for a few days. Next weekend Jill is coming for a visit. The weekend after that is Thanksgiving.

So maybe it isn't too-too early for holiday decorations. It did put me in a rather festive mood, and that can't be a bad thing going into the cold weather.

I know exactly what you mean. It is almost too early but then again, with it getting cold, it does help make things a little more tolerable. I'm excited to start decorating at home and especially for shopping for the 1st Christmas ornament with David. :D

There is no shame on that. Seriously, I still get lost in the city myself. It happens.

I used to work about 45 minutes away from my house and I have definitely gotten lost there. Its probably because I don't tend to pay attention unless I'm actually driving the car.

when i first moved to chicago, the city used to trick me ALL the time. who puts a city on two levels?? my second day i was trying to get to south michigan ave and i ended up at the lower level on north michigan. it's very tricky. don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. but NEVER try to trick the city yourself, the city wins everytime.
