Catching Up




So its been a while since I blogged...so I figured I would catch everyone up. I had a birthday, my 24th one to be exact. So here are some pictures from that. I went to a drag show...(those pictures are not available). A drag queen called me up on stage and made everyone wish me happy birthday and told me I was the cutest little thing. :  ) We also went "light show" bowling which was really fun.
I am also steadily working on my fortune cookie project (I am making ceramic fortune cookies with a little green "erinite" swarski crystal in the corner and a quote about happiness on the inside, I am going to secretly put a whole bunch around my neighborhood for the summer weekends)... I am going to put out the first batch this weekend since its supposed to be 80 degrees and gorgeous both days! My fleet is still not as large as I would like so I am going to keep rollin them out and putting them out. 
So my dad came to town the other weekend on business so we got to visit! I had two delicious birthday dinners! Woohoo. We went to Avec, which is a newly famous Chicago restaurant (you may have seen one of their chef de cuisine on TopChef, we saw her there), and we had the best seats in the place! They were right at the bar in front of a cute chef whom I tried to flirt with (sorry Mahmoud...its natural)...I guess he was busy cooking, whatever! We also went to Mortons and made friends with the crazy polish bar tender at dads hotel. She told us lots of stories. 
So I have been busy busy! 
I hope everyone is well. We need to get back on the blogging ball kiddos.
