Pure Michigan

I spent the weekend in Michigan, now I am a tiny bit home sick and wish I could spend my whole summer in the Great Lake State.






Oh, and 14 days left...

How can you read this? There's no pictures!

Last night, in all my wisdom, I met a friend for margaritas and guacamole. It was quite yummy, but left me dreaming the weirdest things, EVER!

First, I had a dream that Las Vegas was actually in Wisconsin, so I was determined to go because it was so close. But somehow, Nevada was also in WI, like some kind of giant worm hole moved Nevada into WI without displacing the rest of the country, it was weird.

Then, I had a dream that I was in my bed at my parents house, but I woke up in my Chicago apartment. It was surprisingly depressing. I guess it means I really need to make a visit to MI and catch up with my family and friends.

That, or no more guacamole and margaritas right before bed time.

In other news, MPC's family is here, visiting, for a MONTH...

Ya, a whole month, it's been interesting so far, only 22 more days to go... (yes, I am counting the days)

Summer Loves

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy summer!

Today, I got outside and enjoyed the sun and sand, I even have a bit of a burn to prove it!

I would like to share a few things I am loving right now:

(I have these in a beige and white stripes from Old Navy) So cute!

I have been very brave this year and bought a two piece swim suit that is very cute! But it is brown and beige, I am afraid I am turning into my mother with all this brown and beige I have been into recently.

and one final thing, everything from this website.


I hope you all have a wonderful summer, full of sun, sand, tans, drinks, food and happiness!

That Thing You Do

My parents were here this past weekend. It was fun having them in town and to be a tourist in my own city for a little bit, it reminds me that this city is pretty cool and has some fun stuff to offer.

We spent a day at the Museum of Science and Industry on Saturday and wore ourselves out! We followed it up with dinner with my cousin and our first tasting of Corned Beef and Cabbage.

That's right.

I swear we are the only Irish people on this planet who had never had Corned Beef and Cabbage before. I have no idea why it took so long, but I can say that I liked it! Do I really have to wait a whole year to try it again?

Happy Spring! I hope you all have beautiful warm weather! Enjoy!

Some People Want to Fill the World with Silly Love Songs...

I had the most amazing Valentine's day ever!!!!!!!

Really!

MPC surprised me with a night here along with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.

I was blown away, totally shocked, honestly.

The view was amazing! It's fun to see the city from a new perspective. It was also great to have a nice little "get away" with my sweetie.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day!

What's wrong with the way I talk? What's the big idea? Am I dumb or something?

We had a blizzard.

Now we have lots of snow.

I wish I had a yard to make a snow man.

I'm finding that weekends suck.

Is there a way to skip them?
