My Kind of Town

We all had a great time in Chicago.  Lots of eating and shopping and talking.   At least, everyone else was able to talk.  I got a cold right before the trip (thanks Ry guy) which ended with my usual condition....laryngitis.  Since high school, if I get a cold I always end up with laryngitis.  I attribute it to years of cheerleading.  (I wasn't the best cheerleader, but I was always the loudest.)

By the time I got to Chicago, all I had was a croaking whisper.  They immediately labeled me "Lou" for the week-end.  The best was when I spoke up in the Ladies restroom.  I'm sure I gave someone quite a start.

Needless to say, it's hard to have a girls week-end when you can't really talk.  I'm sure I strained my voice trying to contribute anyway, as I am still croaking and it's been 2 weeks.  There is improvement, but I'm still more Lou than I am Linda.

Here's some pics to prove that I really was there.

My lunch the first day...I love an Iceberg Wedge

Just some of the flowers along Michigan Ave.


I bought some skinny jeans and a pair of black boots.  So unlike the me.  Hope to share a photo soon.

  6. Wow! That brings back memories. We went to Chicago when I was pregnant with my first baby. Twenty years ago. It is a very photogenic town. Good pics and I bet you had a blast.
    I like that lego stud.

  7. Lin - next time you go to Chi-town let me know. I have a friend that works at a hotel in the Gold Coast district.
