One of my favorite pictures from Pride last wknd :)

Glenview Girls Wknd

Once my brain-cells recharge and my cheeks stop hurting from laughing at the lake all weekend, I'll be sure to write more about the funnies shared in Delevan :)

The Hideout

Instead of asking, 

"Where the hell are we?" 

I only found myself questioning, 

"How had I never been to this hidden Chicago gem??"

The Hideout...

YES.PLEASE.THANK YOU!

   

Haaaaaappy Friday!

  

Hope you have a wonderful weekend :)

  

Josh Moulton Art

Last Friday we went to a gallery opening for 
Shera's super talented buddy, Josh Moulton.  

I can't wait to pick up my "Lincoln Park Market" print today 

and hang it proudly in my apartment :)

  

Definitely saving my pennies to buy this gem in the Fall...

How Does She Do It?

Last night Liz hosted Book Club and I was 

absolutely in awe of her awesomeness :)

At one point I looked at their dining room and was all, 

"I want to go to there!"

And so I did :)
  

  

Lucky = Me

"Isn't life just yummy?!"

  

Over the wknd I had the absolute pleasure to attend a party thrown by three incredible hosts. 

  

Steve provided his lovely apartment as the venue

Erica provided the liquid entertainment (always a fav)

and her longtime boyfriend, the insanely talented Jon Ashton,

cooked-up a "tasting" menu that was unbelievable!

I creeped in the kitchen for a while to observe his awesomeness

but ultimately found myself glued to the serving table :)

While solving all the world's problems over beers, burgers, 

braised ribs, and a bruschetta recipe that melted my heart,

Jon said, "Isn't life just yummy?" 

I nodded happily in agreement. 

"Yes. Life is yummy!"

  

The Celebration Continues

Timmy & Shannon sent this pic of my family last night and it brought a smile to my face. So fun to see other perspectives 
on a truly wonderful wedding :)

  

LOVE

Best.Grandma.Ever :)

  

Hahahaha, GUILTY!

  

Get your shit together, Google

 
When checking my Spam folder this morning,

I was all sorts of upset with Gmail...

Ummmm, you can't filter the President! 

Especially when he's asking "me" to bid on dining with him.  

  

Don't you worry, Barack - I've added you to my contact list :)

         

Some Wear Many Hats

I apparently, wear many shoes...

Last night I walked in the door from beach volleyball and totally burst out laughing at this crime scene of happy feet. 

If I didn't live alone, I'd for sure have thought there was a party going on in my apartment. Summer is clearly in full gear :)

And with that, I leave you with a deep thought 
from one funny funny man: 

“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”~Jack Handey

Wake Up & Smell the Roses

  

The Oz Park Emerald Rose Garden is 
undoubtedly one of my most favorite places in Chicago.

This wknd I picnicked and spent an hour watching
TED speakers on my phone. Majorly enjoyable :)
