312 on a slow day

It's been a super slow day for work today so I've been doing some exploring. First I went and cleared my head for a bit in nature. That always helps bring me some peace and it was a beautiful day for it. 

    Wetlands Preserve in Freeport, IL

After that I went and saw the site of the 1858 Lincoln / Douglas debate. I'm a sucker for historical sites. 


All that exploring and waiting for any kind of work, had me hungry. For lunch I found a place called 312 Beef and Sausage and was super excited that I may have found a piece of Chicago out here. I immediately stopped for a beef and it honestly wasn't worth the stop. I've been spoiled by food in Chicago my whole life. They tried, they really tried but it was disappointing.


Tomorrow I'm back in Dubuque, IA Going to work, do laundry and explore some of the Mississippi River. 

Finished Firefly Lane on Netflix last night and had a good cry, my goodness. Highly recommend if you haven't watched it yet. 

Much Love ❤️

Rage. Rest. Repeat.

Landed in Boston super late on Friday and took an uber to some friends. We partied until the Sun came up and didn't really rest. We were supposed to go to the Lotus show last night but it was 2 hours away and we recognized that after the night we had it wouldn't be wise to make that drive. So we went and hung out with more people and stayed up too late again.  Finally got a good night's sleep. Got woken up to coffee in a really cool cup and now we're going to find breakfast and go hiking. I'm in Connecticut and it's beautiful. Can't wait to explore more. Tomorrow I'll be back exploring Boston and then I fly out super early on Tuesday morning.  Much love ❤️

Ready to Rock!

    I cruised into Chicago last Thursday with pretty much no brakes. Went straight to my girls house and partied a little too hard with some of my favorite people and then woke up super hungover ready to deal with the car issues.      It's been one problem after another with that car and finally yesterday one of my mechanic friends told me it was time to drive it off a cliff. So after a couple of days in my mom's basement (the irony wasn't lost on me) today I'm ready to go west with a new ride. So very thankful for all the help I've received this week.      Tonight I'm headed to Stockton again to finally get some good loving and Thursday or Friday I will head to South Dakota.      Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th Much love ❤️

Sorry mom, I'm drunk

When I decided to start documenting my summer, I vowed to not do it while drinking. But here we are... I got into Chicago around 11am today. It was nice to make a bunch of money, it was definitely needed. I'm staying with my favorite Brit and met him at the bar across from his place around 5pm. We ate, drank and laughed entirely too much.  Brisket tacos with goat cheese I asked them to please put on the Cubs game and was told that the Ricketts are making it very difficult for bars to show the games so I had to settle for all the Boston sports and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Red Sox were winning when I left, Celtics won and Vegas was up by one, incase you needed to know.  The Brit and I laughed and laughed. My favorite things that came out of his mouth tonight were, "Jenn, you are irresistibly attracted to poor people" and "Keep making terrible decisions, I enjoy it" With friends like this... lol. He's been in a very long term relationsh...
