neighborhooding
I went around Chicago this morning looking at neighborhoods to figure out where I want to move. I looked at Wicker Park, Bucktown, Roscoe Village, Lakeview (I didn't really look at Lakeview because I already know it pretty well), and Andersonville. I think I am pretty much settled on Roscoe, or Lakeview towards that area. I like that it is really clean and quiet, but is still really close to some shops and restaurants (I ate lunch at Kitsch'n and had coconut crusted French toast. Yummy.) and the el and such. Plus, walking around I actually saw a lot of parking! Hopefully the same will be true at night...and when the Cubs are playing. There is even a wine bar there, so hopefully peeps will join me for some wine :)
Now I just need to find a place to move into...
I then came home and packed more, hehe. I cleaned out three drawers in my dresser where I keep makeup, hairstuff, facestuff, nailstuff etc. I found that I have eight makeup bags that were mostly empty and all my stuff was loose around the drawers. I organized it and got rid of about half the stuff. Go purging!

I had a friend live in Roscoe Village, she liked it. She lived right along Belmont.
I have a friend who lives in Andersonville, she loves it. She lives by the argyle stop on the red line. There's lots of shopping and swedish people.
I think I'm supposed to be looking for an apartment in Lakeview or Uptown. I haven't really gotten my act together on that.
