Walking is great.... or at least my thighs think so

Today was the first day I walked Jordan to school and then to work. Man o man the stroller is a hard thing to push up this particular hill. The stroller is about 20lbs, Jordan 30lbs and then my backpack on 10lb or more. Hmm I think I should drop immediate weight  or  10lbs of my butt and thighs should fall of on the side walk soon before we ship out overseas.  I can guarantee 2lbs or each thigh fell off on the way home tonight. haha! I hope so. 

It is so nice being able to walk and just take in the scenery and not have to worry about parking, spending money and enjoying the day.
Also on another note I just want to comment on how many hippies and hipsters are actually in Seattle. Not that its a bad thing, I embrace my inner hippie and I love the fact there are fresh grocery stands/stores, Eco friendly appliances every where and even diesel and bio based fuel stations in the city

but I must admit I miss the steeliness (if that is a real word) of Chicago. The people here are extra friendly and I will say it throws me off a bit. When I first moved to Chicago i was a happy west coaster that waved and spoke to every one I saw. But as time went on I started to put on the Chicago "coldness" those of you from Chicago know what I am talking about. So coming back to Seattle with warm friendly faces, no coats and flippy floppies in rain and snow has thrown me for a loop. lol. I guess I have to return to my roots as some point. It really is good to be home, but I do miss my other home. 
Cue up Chicago theme song . . . . . and some one pass me a slice of Giordano's pizza please.
