Happy Birthday Mom!

Gala...not just APPLES!

So next Saturday I will be attending a Gala. My first ever. I wanted to show this invitation because I am super excited about it, and this invite just makes me more excited. I have to buy a nice black cocktail dress for this "black to the basics" gala, I also got my hair all did today so I can look snazzzzy. The gala is hosted by DIFFA, which is a design organization and they host this thing every year. I guess its a pretty big deal because you have to buy a table or ticket and usually firms just do that for the principals and "big guys" (dad style) But this year I guess my principal wanted the youngins to go. (i don't think some people are happy with that decision) But anyways I am excited, and I also get to start a new research project with my senior project manager tomorrow. I will let you know what thats about...it is an NY project though....woohoo. 

Oh yeah and tomorrow we are also taking a work "field trip" tomorrow to the Art Institute...there is a new textiles display. Should be fun!!

Chase Corporate Challenge

So this thursday I have to decided to walk/run in the Chase Corporate Challenge. Its three miles, which I have not trained for... so I don't think I will be able to run all of it. The race donates to charities throughout the area, and and gives money to charities helping inner-city children. You can race competitively, but who are we kidding, I didn't want to steal the glory so I decided to do "non-competitive." Also, Mom and Dad are coming this weekend!!! Yey yey yey yey. They are both coming on Wednesday, later wednesday, and staying till Sunday. Sooo I am planning some things, or at least have them in mind to do with them. It should be fun! I am excited. Anyways I hope everyone is well!

Some FUNNY signs
