Chicago...MY kinda town..

Back to the Windy City I go. I like visiting Chicago, no way I'd ever live there though. It's a great town, with many activities, great sporting events, well, good sporting events..lol, great museums and festivals, my friends there are cool, but uh, I don't do snow for months at a time. NO way jose'! I'll be there for a few days later this week to attend a Bridal Shower and a baby shower and no, it's not for the same person Hey, it happens that way so I'm not wrong to clarify..The "Taste of Chicago" will be going on this weekend so I think we're going to take in some of that which is kinda cool. I haven't been to a big festival in such a long time. I hope the weather holds up and it doesn't rain. There really isn't a big agenda for the weekend with the exception of the 2 showers, one of which I still need to get a gift and both of which I need to find outfits..ugh..why didn't I do this earlier?? oh yea, because I've met ME...

I was semi-confused with the Bridal shower because her invite had her wedding registry on it but I always thought that for Bridal showers you did something a little more "fun" if you know what I mean. This particular bride isn't the lingerie to bed type but maybe if other bought it she would wear it, maybe, I don't know. I just don't want to show up with some fine china or something when I should've had some edible panties I think I may just get something off the registry for etiquette purposes and then a 'fun' gift for just in case purposes. The bride is a hoot! so whatever she gets she's going to enjoy I'm sure. The baby shower is much easier to shop for, I mean it's a new mom/dad and they need everything, so anything off the registry is good.

I think I love registries. Well the non-shopper in me loves registries, just tell me what you want, saves me and you time and energy. I go into the store, pick something up, pay and leave instead of going into the store, thinking about whether or not you'd actually like the gift or whether you'd return it. The next best thing to a registry is GIFT CARDS! I know they're just so impersonable, but oh so convenient for ME. I'm a convenience whore.. did I just say that ...anyway, I'm looking forward to the Windy City, getting away for a few days. I almost forgot about fishy too! This is my first trip out of town since I got him. I was wondering if I could just leave him for 4 days or so and if he'd still live. Probably not and since I like this fish and the person who gave me said fish, I've made arrangements for a fish sitter. Live on fishy, live on! Aight, I need to be a lil more productive than I have been thus far as the jizzob.

Brown, out!
