Personal Update

So I'm starting to become a morning person. It was one of my New Year's resolutions this year. I woke up at 6:00 a.m. without too much trouble today, on a Saturday morning. I guess the test of a true morning person is whether or not they wake up early when they don't have to do so.

Well, besides that, my parents are coming to visit at noon today. It was my mom's birthday a couple weeks ago and since we live in different cities, it's the first time I've seen her since Christmas. I'm taking them to China Town for lunch, followed by shopping downtown. I also want to take them to a new coffee house I discovered in Chicago, Noble Tree. It's a pretty cool place. It's three stories and the whole place is gutted so they can have tables and chairs everywhere. I think they'll like it. They, like me, have a thing for coffee shops. I can see them opening up their own one day easily.

The last thing I've done is clean. And do I mean clean. I scrubbed the walls, mopped the floor, dusted everything, and made sure ever corner or cranny is spotless. It wasn't that dirty to begin with, but it's nice to have everything in perfect order. I use products with bleach and like the smell of it, which is kind of weird. It's sort of relaxing to me.

Well, that's all.

P.S. Loved Obama's speech on Tuesday. It was a great first state of the union address.
