A Chicago Thanksgiving!

Last night Jessica and I went to go see Kid Sister and Flosstradamus at the Metro. Did you know that they are all Chicago natives?! The show was so awesome! Afterwards we went downstairs to the Smartbar and danced to some more djs until 2am. Then we headed towards home and stopped at my favorite place Picante to get some late night tacos. I think I'm addicted to pork tacos, because I eat them at least twice a week...



Now on to the feast. Jessica and I prepared a ridiculous meal for just the two of us. We made a large 5.5lb turkey breast (basically a turkey with no legs or wings)with gravy, herbed stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, Brussels sprouts, maple-glazed carrots and cranberry sauce. It was completely out of control!

In other news: Homer is scared of the heater and has found a safe spot on top of my lunch bag, on top of the microwave, which is on top of the refrigerator. What a weirdo!

To keep up with my lame cat pictures, Here is a photo of Homer and me from today. We are taking a break from cooking and waiting for the turkey to pop.

An update on the job front:

I've been doing a little bit of freelance work (wedding album design and retouching) from home for the last few weeks. The Photographer is Brad Baskin and he owns LifeTime Weddings. It is kinda nice to work from home and the money is really good.
Also, last week I started assisting for David Ditzler. He is really talented and he shoots a variety of things. I've been helping him sort and edit some real estate photos for a company that leases properties in strip malls. He is also a web designer, so I've been learning a bunch of graphic design stuff.
On top of that, I've picked up a few jobs restoring some old photographs. I'm so excited that I've finally got some work to keep me busy! Hooray for employment!
