First Post

So this is blogging...My first attempt at what many have told me to be the best part of their over-bearing, corporate america, hour lunch break, sit in commuter traffic life! I, on the other hand have decided to take up this blogging thing as a chance to fill time in a year of my life that I thought would be much more exciting.

Yes, this is the year that I turned twenty-five and somehow, just somehow, I thought, as I suffered through my quarter life crisis, that this year was going to be different. I believed that at twenty-five that this was going to be the year to live the yurban-ite (yuppie, urbanites in case you were wondering) dream...wake up every morning to go running at dawn while listening to your $300 iPod, come home to your loft apartment in downtown (insert big city here) to get ready for work, hit Starbucks (Au Bon Pan can be substitued here) on the way to work and grab a New York Times for the mass transit commute to your dream job as an up and coming PR specialist, cocktails with the girls after work where you meet hot baseball loving man (preferably a Red Sox fan who likes to buy the 32 oz. beer at the game) who takes you home that night for amazing sex...then you wake up to do it all over again!

After sitting and wondering why that was never going to be possible in my life and why it was taking forever to get there I came to the amazing conclusion...of course it was never going to work for me!!! I currently live in Detroit, Michigan where the men are few and far between, you need to drive your environmentally sound SUV to the closest Starbucks, and where happy hour is the time you spend on the phone talking about your friends wedding not getting hammered at the bar attempting to troll for men!

Based on that amazing conclusion I will be moving my sports fanatic, progressive, breaking the glass ceiling one of these days personality and now blog to Chicago...Chi Town as some like to call it or perhaps the Windy City, as it is better known! In the upcoming days, weeks and months I am excited to share my thoughts on all sorts of things as well as some of the crazy moments we will be having in Chicago. You will get the opportunity to meet my roommate, our cat and of course the many men we know will be in and out of our lives during that time.

And really we all know what this blog is really about...not growing up!
