Lazy Dayz

Posted by Anonymous

Happy Friday! Who's looking forward to the weekend?? I am, I am! We are In Chicago now, ramping up for Mike's big day!

This week has been a lazy week for me. I had the week off so after I had most of my stuff unpacked and put away from my move I have just been enjoying some down time.
I started off by making a big ol pot of Chili.

I was able to spend some chatting time with a sister and enjoy a glass or two of wine.


I went for a few runs on the path that, is now, right outside my front door. I even got my sister out with me one morning.


Since moving, my back and neck have been killing me so I decided to get some repair work done.


It's no secret that I enjoy a glass of wine every now and then so a month or so ago, I put down a couple batches, so I went and bottled it this week.


And the finished product.

I even indulged in some Wendy's. Since I am on vacay, it's ok to make a couple of bad food choices.... Right??

Now, I will enjoy the rest of my time off in Chicago! Until next week friends!

Tell us 2 things you have planned for the weekend.

Who is running Chicago this weekend?

  1. I know ya'll going to Maggiano's. Where else you hitting up? How about dessert places? If you can make it a few miles north, look up Molly' Cupcakes. If you have to stay downtown, at the courtyard of the Hancock building is this great little bakery/deli on the north side. Fantastic cookies, gelato, and treats! There is also a solid Belgium bakery called Hendrickx http://www.yelp.com/biz/hendrickx-belgian-bread-crafter-chicago
    Hit me up if you need to bounce off any thoughts!
