Weekly Sundown Rundown

Links, mostly from my Twitter:

Watch this video of a corgi puppy attacking a mini pumpkin. You’ll thank me later.

Chicago friends! Our winter is supposed to be milder than usual this year.

Love this post on famous quotes reimagined in a way a woman would have to say them.

Tater Tot grilled cheese waffles.

Twitter was pretty brutal with its employee layoffs.

And my week highlights?

I had a great week this past week. I had a birthday, and while birthdays aren’t a huge deal to me, they make for a great excuse to see so many of my friends.

I’ll be doing a birthday week recap post later this week!

• Book shopping at Myopic Books in Wicker Park with my friend Mickey.
• Sushi at Nori. Alaskan Maki and Green Nori rolls were great!
• Dinner at Chicago Diner.
• Pizza, drinks and Polaroids at Boiler Room in Logan Square.
• …followed by drinks at Slippery Slope in Logan Square…
• …followed by drinks at Emporium in Logan Square. Friday was a busy birthday bar night.
• Drinks at Tin Lizzie in Lincoln Park to catch up with a visiting friend from Michigan while watching the Red Wings/ Canadiens game.
• A fun new Red Wings mug as a birthday gift from a friend.
• Pinterest and craft time with a friend. I made a new gold print of a Hemingway quote to hang next to my bed.
• A Lions win! We beat the Bears. I celebrated by wearing my Calvin Johnson jersey to work.
• These new booties from Sole Society! Love them.
• A birthday Edible Arrangement from my best friend from high school!
• The usual grind at the Trib’s social media desk.

This week was definitely busier than most thanks to my birthday, so I’m looking forward to a calmer week! One of my coworkers bought me tickets to the Fashion Loves Art show in West Town, and I’m really looking forward to it! As soon as I figure out what to wear.
