nothing in particular...

Since it has been almost 3 weeks since my last post, I figure I should probably post another post. Although, compared to my siblings' blogs - I don't have that much excitement to report. Nothing like a child taken his/her first steps or saying their first words. But for those of you who like just see what is much ado about Mitzi, here you go:

Yesterday, I headed back to "Milano" - a hair salon that reminds me of "Babette". I think about how much I'm paying to get my eyebrows fixed up, but then I realize that Sheri (an eyebrow specialist) spends over 30 minutes re-shaping, plucking, trimming, and waxing...and well, that makes feel better about myself and the money I've spent. Plus, I found out that my eyebrows have been waxed incorrectly for past several years...so now I'm actually trying to grow them back in. I know crazy, crazy stuff going on here for the Chicago girl. Anyhow, the homework that I receive from Sheri is to simply do nothing. Yeah, she's that awesome. Plus, she is totally excited that my sisters might be coming in for a "girl's weekend". :)! Also, in Sheri's 4+ years of eyebrow grooming, she has never seen eyebrows like mine...apparently the don't grow the same way that most eyebrows grow --- maybe I should tell her that I burned one completely off due to a daytime firework mishap when I was a kid. Hmmm.

Work is going really well. As many of you already know...Teach For America is looking to open a site in Kansas City starting next fall. So that's something on the table...while I do enjoy my current job, I know that I probably won't stay in it for that long. I'm not making any decisions...just really looking at the options and gathering them. Then come, February/March/April...I'll have to figure out something or another. Right now, I'm "leaning" towards staying in Chicago, mainly because I don't want to deal with the effort and cost of moving. I really like my apartment and my neighborhood too. And it's nice to be a weekend trip away from Madison and Dayton.

I'm going to be making a trip to St. Louis next month for a friend's wedding and also some over-due time w/ the St. Louis Keels. I'm hoping to do some sight-seeing...actually, just checking out the Brewery.

Until next time... :)

Yeah, my homework is to leave my eyebrows alone too...I'm giving them that 20+ year look of naturalness...

Push TFA to open a Madison branch--or at least tell them you will look into it to see if it's worth it. That would give you a job for another year!
