Promises, Promises!

There are so many things about the Chi that I love; Wrigley Field, the Sig room, the skyline, every single neighborhood tucked in the North side (EP!), farmers markets on Saturday mornings, & the daily Trib outside my door each day as I step out to face my day.  Summers in Chicago are love in the first degree.  The promise of summer is in the air and as Spring sloooowly moves into summer, my mind goes to the sidewalk cafes where I will spend many afternoons for happy hour. 

I am a lucky gal in that my days are spent in an office that overlooks Michigan Ave., right at the river.  Today, as I peeked past the Wrigley Building and beyond the double decker tour buses, my biggest mental debate was whether I would walk over to Water Tower and spend my lunch shopping for prezzies I would gift to myself (duh!) or peruse the farmers market at Daley Plaza.  Tough decisions for a girl to make, I tell ya.  But since the day was so pretty, I opted for the farmers market.  Besides, where better to get organic, whole foods for my "real" eating and preserving (more to come on that subject, get excited!) than from local farmers?  I chose well.  I spent the lunch hour walking around and enjoying the city I love so dearly.  My city.

Over the course of the next several weekends, I will be doing all the things I love.  With Mem Day Weekend upon us (I mean, everyone  knows that's the official kickoff to summer) we'll have to work extra hard to do it up right. 

Believe me, I won't disappoint ;)
