Vacation Files: The Whole Shebang

Well as you can tell I took full advantage of my vacation and once again neglected my blogging duties. I'm sorry but I really needed this vacation.

Well, my boyfriend along with his son went to Chicago to meet up with a few friends.  It was an awesome vacation except for one minor (Major!!!) problem.  I completely forgot to pack my makeup.  I was so upset and almost in tears because by the time I realized that I had no makeup we were too far along to go back.  However, I have an amazing boyfriend who immediately noticed that I was in distress (near tears) and he took his time (and money) and bought me some makeup.  He is truly an awesome guy.  Well other than that the vacation went very well.

We stayed for about 4 days and basically went sightseeing.  Nine times out of ten the most exciting portion of any vacation for me will be the food and this trip was no exception.  We went to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Restaurant and of course after many recommendations we went to Giordano's Pizza.  When I say that you have no idea what deep dish pizza is until you try this pizza you have to believe me.  It was excellent.  Majority of our days were spent at the Navy Pier and if I wasn't such a loser I probably would have taken pictures.  I always forget to take pictures and it's such a shame.

Does anyone else have a problem with remembering to take pictures while on vacation?
For some odd reason I always forget and I get much too wrapped up in the moment.  I don't even take pictures of myself.  I'm such a loser. 

Pictures or no pictures the vacation was great.  After we left Chicago I stayed at my boyfriend's house for about 3 days just so that we could spend some much needed time together (we about 5 hours apart). It gave us some time to settle back into our normal routine as well.  Now it's back to work for the both of us.

The Vacation Files: The Prelude

So tomorrow marks the beginning of my week long vacation with my boyfriend and instead of relaxing and getting organized I decided to go to work.  Bummer....who does this?  I'm not sure why I would choose work of all places to go but here I am.

Now generally this would be a time of relaxation but of course for me it isn't.  I went into work because I know that someone will be covering for me but I would like my area to be as tidy and organized as possible.  I haven't packed because I need to get a few items out of storage and I also need to do my laundry.  Oh and I have to get an oil change before I leave.  I remember last week I was hoping that my vacation would get here quickly but now I just want time to slow down so that I can get these things done.  Oh and did I mention that I'm babysitting tonight.  All of this needs to be done by 9 am tomorrow.  Well it's not all bad.  I mean I'm doing these things so that I can have fun and relax.  This also serves as a lesson...planning is key.

Where do you guys think I'm going?

Stay tuned in for The Vacation Files:  Day One

I'm Back!

First I'd like to apologize for neglecting my blogging duties for so long (it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post).  Things became a little too overwhelming for me and so I took some time to gather myself and my thoughts.  Okay the true story is that I sat in front of my computer this morning and told myself either you get it together or you let it go...I decided to get it together.  Big girls cry but they don't give up.   So here I am.   I have a lot of exciting things to share and there's nothing more in this world that I'd like better than sharing them with you all.  So with that being said here's what I have in store....
