Amanda Squared

Over the weekend I ventured up to Chicago to visit my friend Amanda before she moves for her new job. (True story: I met one of my best friends through MySpace. Granted it was at least in a time 9 years ago when MySpace was THE social media outlet so it's not as weird as it may sound. We met in a group for incoming freshman at IU and she was one of the first people I met during Welcome Week. We've been friends ever since and even when we went about 5 years without actually seeing each other, we talk so much through texts, g chat, etc that it felt like we had just seen each other the week before.)

We had a pretty chill weekend. There were plans to go out on Lake Michigan but Mother Nature decided that she needed to interrupt those. We ended up going to Spacca Napoli for pizza and then to a neighborhood bar for a drink instead due to some rain showers. Since most things we had talked about doing included being outside during or in order to get there, we decided to just hang out and watch movies that afternoon.

That evening we went to Shake Shack for burgers and fries. We also went to Eataly for gelato to round out dinner. OMG, Eataly is like heaven. I cannot wait to go back there some time when I have more time to spend there and a bigger appetite!
