3. Gung hay fat choy! Erin proposed the wonderful idea of going to Chinatown in Chicago to see the New Years Parade on Sunday. It’s the year of the Boar. I had no idea it was so huge, there was so much to see and erin, jacob, al, elinor and I had a great time.

4. My flickr favorites
5. Spring Fever: with temperatures possibly reaching the 40s this week I am giddy and filled with so much excitement for spring. I think being in the sun Sunday set it off. Now I am looking forward to having sunlight for more than 5 minutes after I get off of work, laying a blanket down in the grass and reading or painting outside, and going camping! Of course I also have this same desire to plant a garden, I always do this and it never pans out so I don’t keep my hopes up, so goes apartment living. 1-it’s hard to have a garden when you work a 9 to 5 without your plants getting fried during the hottest part of the day and 2-it’s not like I’d be able to just go outside whenever I wanted to enjoy the garden, I’d have to travel to where ever it was.
Too bad you don’t have a balcony. You could do a container garden. Out here they have community plots- I guess for people who don’t want to mess up their fancy Naperville yards. You could always plant something at home. Then maybe Mom and Dad would see you once in a while. (just kidding)
