I know it's been awhile since I've posted, so I will start with my trip to Chicago to get me back into the swing of things. I went to visit my bestie, Chicago Cris. I had not seen her in about 2 1/2 years so I anticipated this trip for a long time, and I was not disappointed! The minute I saw her, we fell back into our goofy routine. We laughed, we cried, we ate, we drank, we shopped, but mostly, WE LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND LAUGHED.
Things I discovered in Chicago....it is a WINDY city, and cold, and rainy (at least when I was there). Garrett's Popcorn is scrumptious and addictive. I love, love, love Trader Joes and wish there was one here in Houston. Mocha Coconut Lattes are the best drink at Starbucks. Tuliptinis at the Knickerbocker Hotel ROCK!!! Navy Pier is so much fun, even with 50 mph wind and a windchill factor of about -5. Payless has great bling, and tennis shoes when all you have are flip flops. I love Bloomies and Filenes Basement. I wish I would have gone back to Louis Vuitton and bought the purse my hubby said I could buy, but maybe next time :(
The biggest thing I discovered is that some friendships are timeless and priceless. When someone can make you laugh so hard that you cry, hang on to them. Enjoy them, and tell them how much they mean to you. I hope she knows, and I can't wait till we can get together again...my tummy still hurts from laughing so hard but it was SOOOOOO worth it!
