girl time

it’s been awhile since i have been able to meet up with kt and kar.  leading into the holidays, we get so wrapped up [no pun intended] in so many things that it’s hard for us to get together!  we were able to finally catch up and have plenty of girl time today, although it’s never enough talkee time, ever.

so away we went with our late lunch date, so typical of me and kt…we are such sleepers!  the later, the better {ya know, we gots to get in our beauty sleep!} for us.

i should know better, that if i leave a decision up to kt, she can’t make one!  i offered a plethora of choices for lunch establishments but should have realized she would choose the one i have taken her to already!  well, who can say no to the ever fabulous bongo room?  as usual, we all had an amazing meal.

afterwards, we did a little shopping [woot!].  milwaukee is a gold mine of vintage shops.  we had a blast perusing all the racks and finding such unique items!  after that, we parted ways and i sashayed my way back to our place.  i can never not stop by my favorite little paper store, paper doll!  i had to visit rhoda, the cutest little pug in wicker park!  after playing, petting, prancing, and carrying the sweet little dog around the store, i headed back home {for reals this time!}

i heart rhoda

you’ve got mail

my new cubs hat [yay!!!]

my new cubs hat [yay!!!]

i love getting mail.  whether it’s a letter, card, invite, or the best mail of all…packages!!!  i never use to be an online shopper but this past holiday, i’ve gotten hooked!  i typically love shopping within a store, feeling the merchandise and trying on {so much fun!}.  much to my hubby charming’s dismay, i have been on a roll with the clicker button on ‘place my order’.  honestly, it’s really random stuff i’m buying; shoes, clothes, cupcake liners…

so, i was quite excited to walk up my front door and ta-da, a lovely package waiting for moi!  i eagerly ran upstairs and tore into it.  i was filled with anticipation, knowing it would be the fabulous buy from ebay!  yup, it’s an awesome knit chicago cubs hat!  it’s my new favorite thing!  sometimes it’s just the little things that can put a little twinkle in your eyes.  a little pep in your step.
