The week came, it was gorgeous, it was filled with friends and beers and wines and boating and an occasional summer storm and a ton of great food… and now it’s gone.
But I can’t even be mad, because now it’s the weekend (well, after today) and that means even MORE time to enjoy absolutely everything in life.
Have I mentioned how much I love summer in Chicago?!
Aren’t these beautiful?! If you’re wondering why one is a little emptier, it’s because I clearly started drinking before I thought to take a picture. Oops!
4 Favorite Things:
- Wine flights
- Ladies’ night (This week I had one ladies’ night on a boat and another ladies’ night at a wine bar. I loved every single second!)
- Paper straws
- Thai coffee
4 Confessions:
- For whatever reason, I get super nervous when I call a person who I’ve never met in real life. And I’m a total phone person! It just makes no sense.
- It’s been absolutely gorgeous here for DAYS and I’ve managed to spend almost all of it indoors and on my computer. Ummm what the heck, self?
- I’ve been slacking on my tweeting lately and now I feel so out of touch.
- I’m more likely to shave before I go to the gym than before a night out with the Husband.

4 Posts I Wrote This Week:
- ‘Baby you’re a firework….!’ (Mon)
- Because no one can resist a margarita cupcake. (Tues)
- Wait what, we’re over halfway through 2013?! (Wed)
- All sweat is good sweat. (Unless it’s just because of the humidity, because that’s just gross.) (Thurs)
And I’ll leave you with a song that makes me super happy. Not only because I’m in a country sort of mood, but because Taylor is adorable.
I mean, yeah she’s a dorky dancer, but I’m way more dorky, so I can appreciate her getting her groove on. Just watch (and take notes).
Of course, since it’s Friday I’m linking up with Whitney!
Cheers to another July weekend and beautiful weather and sparkling wine!
