So today was one of this blissfully beautiful days, where calling into work should have been done, seriously my impulse was to go the wrong way on I-94 and drive to Chicago and spend a day tromping around the city in the sunshine.

I'm so happy I'm a dork, but I just found out where to buy vanilla beans in bulk at an incredible price!!!

Sometime this living in my parents house gets to me; I can't have two bags on the counter for two hours before I get a five minute dialogue about why they shouldn't be there, and I feel like half the time I've been here at the same time as my mom she's crabbying at me.

I'm watching the Food Network at the Chicago candy show, and they feature the guy promoting scripture mints explaining how it is a subtle way to share the gospel, and what is he wearing? A shirt that is the American flag, so amusing. I was shopping today at this fun boutique in old city, and turns out the clerk's going to a wedding this summer in ( Read more... )
