American/British Virgin Island Countdown... 4 weeks.

It's on. We'll be at our private villa (Virgin Seabreeze) on the island of St. John in 4 weeks...

Vegas & Ramblings

I recently went to Vegas with 3 girlfriends (Annie, J Stelz and Eliza) and what did we do? We ate & ate & ate like a bunch of little hungry caterpillars. A little preview of the gratuitous food pictures that I took at Social House. This is only 1/8 of our meal. Scallops with soft shell crab in the foreground ("God's Fingers") and lettuce wrapped cod in the back.



I need to catch up w/ this thing. I need to post about our tour of Half Acre Brewery and Avec, picnic in the park for Labor Day, last Cubs game, trip to Indiana to see my family...and our plans for our upcoming 1 year anniversary trip. Tyson surprised me with plans to a place I've wanted to visit for more than 10 YEARS!

Cheers to the Chi-rish

We had yet another green St. Pat's weekend celebrating with visitors. Viva la green river!

Desk Phone Dock

I couldn't help but think today, there has to be a dock out there that lets you use your cell phone like an actual land line. Viola. Of course it exists. I just had to find it.

I need this: http://www.deskphonedock.com/
