chicago bound - fantastic friendships & craft fairs await

Ah, how time flies. It seems like just yesterday when I realized my free Southwest flights were going to expire October 13th.. and I'd better book a vacation soon or else they would expire... and go to waste... and I don't want to be a wasteful person. So I'm taking a trip to Chicago - it's completely beyond my means and I can't afford one minute of it, but I'm excited.

Dearest Brenna Finnegan will be moving to the windy city the weekend prior to my arrival, and I can't wait to have my choice of TWO beds to crash in. Although, I must say, I'll probably still opt for Whitney's. Not only because my muscle memory indicates it's my go-to, but because princess Whitney sleeps on the softest surface known to man. Incredible.

While I don't anticipate any "Mermaid Party" craziness, I am excited to spend some quality time with some gal pals, and spend some mystery money at the Renegade craft fair.

Saturday promises to be a day filled with Midwestern sunshine, Goose Island tasty beverages (Matilda, anyone?), and some amazing items that I have no chance of ever making. I'm going to need to come up with a clear list of things I want before attending so I don't go crazy.

Things I'm looking forward to...
