TGIF!

What do you like more? The fact that it’s going to be a three day weekend? Or a four day work week? For me, it’s a four day work week! Holllllllla. I’ve got lots of girl time and unplanned time this weekend – which makes me one happy camper. What about you?

Given you are in vacation mode {I sure am!} here are a few Chicago things and reads to waist the time away. The internet was good to me this week.
