long week! short weekend!

Not really - it's just that I have the happy problem of going out of town next weekend and, so, as I was having a luxuriously relaxing weekend away last week, there are many house-chores to be done this weekend.
And where am I venturing on Friday?!
Chicago!
As one of my birthday presents from K, I got tickets to see the gals.
And what am I going to do in Chicago?
I'm hoping to do some lazy floating in Jen's pool, I'm attending a retro Tupperware party at Wendy's, and drinking my weight at a Post-Apocalyptic Cocktail party at Poppy's (Poppy's deluxe apartment barely survived a horrific fire).
So, not only do I have laundry piled high, sticky floors and grocery shopping to do (I have a date with Youngest) but I have outfits to plan!

Two highlights from yesterday:



This breathtaking creature rocking the long, black linen dress. A fast walker, but I caught up with her.



Lunch with my lovely, and only, cousin E and her adorable baby F, at which she altered the family icebox cake recipe and made icebox cookies!
I'm planning on making some for the boys later today.
