Oh, Thursday….the day of heightened anticipation for the weekend…Friday Eve…how doth I love thee.
Today’s post will ensure you receive your recommended daily allowance of randomness, for sure. I mean, I feel like I haven’t gotten to do a post where I just talk to y’all in a long time; no fashion stuff, no decor baloney or holiday survival tips...just plain talk.
So here goes:
• Mine and S’s weekend in Chicago wasn’t all blizzards and traffic jams…we actually had a big ole time in the Windy City prior to Sunday’s Ice Road Truckers re-enactment. We went to the lounge at the top of the Hancock Tower on Friday night and luckily got a table right by the window. This was our view as we sipped wine:

• I thought this was pretty stinking cute. This is Max on Thanksgiving morning, which I randomly found on my iPhone last night. He was O-V-E-R it by 10:00 a.m.
...and later that day, we found him like this again. My little man loves to sleep...it's his fav hobby : )
• A few more of you have emailed me about the bag in this photo from last month, my faux Miu Miu...I actually got it 2 years ago (yes, I carry purses FOREVER) as a Christmas gift from a website called Shop Suey Boutique. Although this one isn't on there anymore, they have TONS of other cute faux designer bags for great prices, including other Miu Miu-inspired bags. (And know, this wasn't clever advertisement placement..I really do love the site and they didn't pay me to say that : )

| Good excuse to put up pics of my cutie, no? : ) |
• Rihanna’s new CD is smashtastic. Seriously good stuff. If you don’t feel like shelling out the $9.99 for the whole album (which I would suggest doing, since two awesome bonus songs are included if you get the entire thing), at least purchase Raining Men feat. Nicki Minaj, S&M, Love the Way You Lie- Pt. II, Fading and Man Down. Actually, just buy the whole shabang.
On a serious note, a good friend of mine from high school was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is only 26 and underwent another surgery yesterday. She begins chemotherapy soon and will likely lose her hair, (she already cut it very short in preparation, but seriously, it looks really cute!). Could you guys please say an extra prayer for her tonight?
Ok, that’s all I’ve got until tomorrow. Be happy, be healthy and most of all…
Be blessed, lovelies-
First, your friend is definitely in my prayers. Second, I LOVE random posts and looking at photos from my phone. Enjoy your random Thursday.

That is so sad about your friend. My college roommate told me a similar story recently; just reminds you how cancer doesn't discriminate and it doesn't matter how old you are :( On a happier note, your dog is so cute. I have a part-doxie and she curls up like that too (and gets under the blankets haha)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that picture of you and your honey, too cute! You are very photogenic. Also, love your cute cute doggie and the tree, nice job babe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cuddle bug your pup is. Sweet pic of your and your honey too!
ReplyDeleteMy family will pray for your friend tonight. She is too young to be fighting cancer but with friends like you, it's clear she has a great support system which will help her during the hard times of chemotherapy.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend! She's so young. Sending up an extra prayer!
