descriptive still lives
waiting out the rain
ice cream therapy
the day after georgie died, my honey took me to margie's candies for ginormous ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream concoctions. mine involved a banana and three different flavors of ice cream. mmmmmmm.
chicago running around
not a great day for cars in the city. in fact I kind of had a mini-premonition, walking up the street from chris's apartment in the morning– a flash in my mind's eye of my parked car broken into– rounding the corner, turned out to be a big yellow boot. none of which is as mystical as I'm making it sound, a) because parking on the street in chris's neighborhood ain't really the safest ever and b) that boot was a long time coming– city people even dug up some old tickets from before I moved to chicago and had lost track of– but all in all, I'd say I was due.
thank goodness it was friday. and thank goodness for a boyfriend willing and able to help stave off some flipping out and drive me hither and yon to pay fines and help get big su unhobbled.
then off to work.
then closing early for holiday weekend and running around with the girlies– first with gigi around lincoln square…
and then off to albany park to wait with ladida for a long-fabled tow truck when mini broke down (during which someone couldn't seem to stop eating, fyi)…
and through it all miss lulu was very patient.
p.s. you simply must try mexican fast food fried chicken sometime. a truly surreal experience.
a candy-colored satty
sprung
while out walking george this morning, I documented it.
a few snaps of midwest spring for you:
fishy fishy
my honey gave me a pretty present.
