Chicago

Last Sunday my pal Lisa and I decided to meet up in Chicago for the day, so right after church I hopped on the train to the city. I forgot how relaxing and fun the train is. O and also another friend of mine, Emily, was also on the train by coincidence, so that was another plus.

Anywho, Chicago was pretty cool- no real plans, just a lot of walking in the hot summer sun. Hit the predictable attractions- Millenium Park and whatnot, and shopped a smidge on State St. Next time, we'll have a better plan and hit up some more interesting spots.

Moving on to today- hung out with Lauren D. We ran some errands, then got some people together for a kithcen sink at Colonial- noice.

As always, work is lame, although I'm done in one week, which is just lovely. I'm looking forward to actually trying to get some trips together (Wisconsin and whatnot). Hopefully that will all work out.

It's almost over kids- get your tans on while it lasts.

Let Them Eat...

Cake. So yea, a couple of days ago, we decided to bake, something which I haven't done in quite some time. Back in the day, it seemed liked we would bake cake and other treats just about everytime we met up- yea we were tre chic ha. Anywho, instead of the usual yellow cake and choco frosting, we went with a something different this time. Twas vanilla cake with butterceam frosting and a layer of strawberry jam- the recipe was on the side o the box, however our cake didna come out quite as perfect as the picture on said box.

I'm guessing that any remnant of my coolness just went out the window with this last post...all about cake... meh.
