chicago is by far my favorite city in the uS. before new york and before san francisco. there is just this ambiance of lovely that i cannot seem to capture with words or pictures, so you'll just have to take my word [and lack thereof] for it. i had the pleasure of spending four days in the windy city [which was far more wet than windy] with my mom and we had such an amazing time. i just gotta set the record straight here and say that my mom is the best in the world. you may think yours is, but you are wrong. beth wins hands down. she even has a trophy that says so!
we saw wicked... which i absolutely LOVED! how could you not?! the costuming alone was phenomenal - i pictured walking into a room full of bolts and bolts of these incredible fabrics and was just awestruck - that must be what heaven is like - but back to the trip... we shopped, i ran in a tropical storm called ike [maybe you've heard of it?] while mom waited and cheered me on [also drenched], shopped some more, saw a few movies, ate great meals, and finished it all off with more shopping. which is quite an accomplishment seeing as how my mom not a shopper... at all! so i'd just like publicly thank her again for being such a great sport! and thank her again for loving me enough to take a cab to to the other side of town [the castro district of chicago, if you know what i'm sayin ;)]just to go to the g-star store. see, like i said, best mom in the WORLD!
now its back to work and the grind ... i'm totally struggling for motivation. more coffee, please.

I'm so so so proud of you!! You're an inspiration to me. But know this- jealousy is freely flowing through my veins now. When is it going to be my turn to go shopping, eating & seeing Wicked? Tell me that!!
