vacationing, puppy and spoiling myself

Two weeks from today, I visit the Land of the Mouse. Two straight weeks of work and 3 days off (including weekends) and I get to take a break from Chicago, a break from my family and unfortunately, a break from my baby puppies. I can’t even lie, I’m really looking forward to it. A week of sun, roller coasters and Disney magic with my favorite boy and his family. I’m counting down the days until Tuesday because then he comes home from four days in Las Vegas with the boys. I miss him like crazy!
This weekend was lovely. I seen Sex and the City with Jenn. I thought it was good, I wasn’t to thrilled with Jennifer Hudson’s story line, I thought it was pretty cheesy and irrelevant. Saturday was a gorgeous day in Chicago and we hung out around Millennium Park and ate some ice cream. Strawberry, thank you very much! And yes, I’m aware I look like a chipmunk so shut up.
This week I will be treating myself to a haircut which is ridiculously overdue. Bangs are in. I made an appointment last week and will be sticking to it despite my hair anxiety. I just have to keep reminding myself how even more fabulous my hair will look once it is done.
I need to get some pre-Florida vacation shopping done before I leave too. Shorts? They are the devil. My thighs curse the day you were born. I hate hate hate shorts but I’m not trying to walk around in 100 degree weather wearing jeans. I guess I will have to make it up to myself by buying some Marc Jacobs sunglasses. Thighs can’t hate me if my face is in Marc Jacobs, right?
Since I know everyone was keeping track, I am on Season 6 Part One, Disc 3 of my Sex and the City bible.
Because I love her, you get an Edie picture too. I know she is all over this blog but she’s adorable and I can’t help it!

I hate shorts too. They suck.
I am SOOO excited about my trip to FL too! It’s not for 3 weeks for us and we only are staying for about a week :( I’m okay with it, though, because i know my boyfriend will be complaining about the heat while I will be soaking it up.
Crud, I need shorts too….. uggghhhh I completely stopped working out, too. Is there a good 3 week regimen for my abs?
Can’t wait to see post-haircut pics - I dig bangs, they do wonders for framing the face!
I loved SATC - but feel they could’ve cut a lot of the St. Louise crap out of there too.
You two are too cute! And you know very well that we looove Edie pics.
Also, I highly recommend the bangs thing. :)
I used to love shorts, but I have realized the older I get, the more I hate them. Hate them.
I am SO stoked for your trip! I hope you have a great time (although, I’m sure you will)!!
Also? T-minus 4 weeks!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOO READY!
Yay for vacations! and I feel the same way about shorts. They ride up my butt and make me so uncomfortable. I like to wear super-casual t-shirty skirts. Unfortuantely those aren’t great for roller coasters though.
I bought long-ish bermuda shorts for my trip to Florida last week and they did the job. I also despise shorts but these are a much more friendly option. And I agree on the sunglasses, in my case my Chanel’s deterred from the frustration of wearing shorts in the first place!
I always smile when I see pictures of Edie! So adorable!
I agree about jennifer hudson’s part. I guess I just expected more.
I tend to wear skirts instead of shorts, I don’t think I even own one non-athletic pair but I do see more long ones in the stores this summer than I remember from years past. Plus, with the sunglasses, no one will even see the shorts ;)
You’ll look darling with bangs. I was really scared before I cut them too, but now I love them. They’re not even that much maintenance. Plus, somehow, they make me feel more grown up. Go figure.
And, yes I agree shorts are the bane of my existence. I always go for the bermuda length. Good luck!
What is Edie sniffing? It looks like a bag of coke or something.
Is Edie a coke head???
ahhh! vacation! Thank god for them :-)
Bermuda shorts…find some, pronto. I am just.like.you. My legs, ESPECIALLY from the knee up haven’t seen daylight in a very, very long time.
But, at Target I finally found these long shorts that fit me, and look good on me, and keep my yucky thighs under wraps..but still let me NOT be wearing pants. Let me go see what brand they are….Merona, that’s the label.
Oh yes I definitely loved the movie, but feel the same about the Jennifer Hudson storyline. Cheesy much? And I hate that she went and married that guy.. I don’t know why but it seemed so, blegh. I would have been satisfied with her just being a great assistant. :)
Have fun on your vacation! And Edie is adorable!
First of all, you don’t look like a chipmunk! There, had to get that off of my chest =)
Also, that vacation sounds wonderful and your puppy is still adorable and yes, I’m still very jealous!
sounds like a fabulous weekend. and i’m so jealous of your upcoming vacay, ah, love.
I say get the shorts. You’ll be having so much fun at Disney, you won’t notice you are wearing shorts and you’ll be comfy!
Shorts suck.
Disneyworld does not.
You ladies are the cutest cuties in Cuteville.
And Edie ain’t so bad either.
Shorts…..just God’s way of saying, “STEP AWAY FROM THE BROWNIE!”
Have fun in Florida!
Luvin’ the MJs!
Shorts are evil. I love me some summer skirts - the knee length flowy kind. I have them in all colors. If I don’t feel like crossing my legs I wear capris.
Happy vacay!
seriously the sunglasses are way fab and make the short wearing situation that much better. you’re so right!
and get minnie mouses autograph for me in the land of the mouse.
oh and snow white’s too!!!! : )
Damn those sunglasses are hot. You should get them, you deserve it honey.
You and Jenn are fine looking ladies I must say. Anyhoo I came THIS CLOSE to being dragged screaming to SATC. Fortunately for me, one of my friends called me and needed a lift to get his car from the shop. Broken cars FTW!
I hate shorts too, but I got some cute new ones from JCREW that actually don’t make my thighs look quite so big. Maybe you can find some…Have fun in Florida!
I didn’t like seeing Jennifer Hudson in it, too. But yeah, it was fun. And I derived immense satisfaction in Charlotte’s, “NO.” Hehe.
I want to nomnom Edie.
So funny that Lisa mentioned this just before me, but I thought Charlotte’s “NO” was the best, most heart-wrenching line of the entire movie. That Charlotte has really turned in to a mama lion!
Your dog is adorable and I love her. Also: shorts suck ass, but you could try skirts? I have a friend that swears by them.
the gap outlet has really adorable capri pants right now- I bought them in khaki and navy and they are so comfy, and were about $22!
haha yeah shorts are unforgiving. and ur doggy is soo cute! I just recently added a pet to the family and now im obsessed with reading about other people’s dogs :)
I’m all for bangs. If there was a bangs fan group, I would totally be president.
You’re going to have so much fun! And I totally love that you call it the land of the Mouse.
My thighs don’t like shorts, either, but I’ve really enjoyed wearing the new capris I got from Gap Outlet and the long shorts (like, knee-length, but in a cute way) from the Banana Republic. Check it out!
I hope you have a good holiday!
I know what you mean about shorts, I never used to like them either, but now I have become something of a fan of the longer ones. :)
