goodbye glass house.

My time at Lookingglass has come to an end. Some highlights from my last days on the other side.

Empty restaurants have become pretty to me.

That time I saw UFO's descend upon Chicago.

s'mores of the future

I love Sutcliffe Pharmacy. If I ever followed through on reviewing places on Yelp, I would rave because:
1. The pharmacists are so nice and overly-concerned & attentive, as is only good and right.
2. They also have a great, Cracker Barrel-style selection of candy.
3. Most importantly, S'MORES IN A BOX. A dream I didn't realize I had.

roof wars

Holly Oak: Wilmington, DE
Holly Oak will always be my favorite roof because the millions of perfect hours spent there would be really hard to outshine.

Washington House: Newark, DE
The fact that my mom's condo in Newark had such a nice roofdeck (or 4) was a really nice surprise.

Photobucket
Nice tomato plants.

The second mermaid chair I have encountered.

The Markle Residence: New York City
My roof in New York was one that I heavily occupied. One of my favorite things about that roof was that I never had to share it with anyone. It was usually just me, my bag of crap, and a phone. I made so many phone calls to so many people...my sick dad, phone interviews, my oldest & newest friends. The best thing was the view. To describe the greatness of that view would be like trying to take a picture of lightning. That roof had three stories that you had to climb terrifying ladders to scale, but that was a baby price for getting to hold on to that view for a minute.

Oh hello, so very sub-par cell phone pic.

West Sheridan: Chicago
This Chicago roof has a lot of other people on it all the time, which is not awesome. But it does have a great view, in a completely different way than New York. To the left, you can see the Lake & to the right, you can see the Cubs stadium.

First impression.

Right-on baseball face.

Pretty sun.

zoning laws.

First thoughts on moving to Chicago: I dislike the time change. All of my moves in these recent years have still kept me in the eastern time zone. And with my nocturnal habits, it would be so much easier to be an hour later than an hour earlier than the east coast.

Photobucket
My pretty street! It does kind of make up for the time zone issues.

go budget or go home

Photobucket
My truck but not my house, even though it has my name on it.

Thank you for guarding my worldly possessions, G-force.

Hello, feminine moving truck.

Self-explanatory
