VEGAS, BABY!

Well, Deb just booked tickets. I am officially going to Las Vegas this July. WOOOOOO! Thanks to everyone who gave input/advice on my poll a few days ago. Your tips came in handy. Of course, half of you thought hotels sucked that other ones loved, so I actually had to make a list with checkmarks and such. It was all very complicated. In the end we went with the MGM Grand, which some of you love and some of you hate. But the rooms were bigger, and we could get it (a 4-star hotel) for only $11 more than the Luxor (a 3-star hotel), and this one has the monorail, so there you are. YAY! VEGAS!

In other news, I'm going to my parents' house tonight to watch the finale of Project Runway with my mom. Last year I watched the finale alone, and I kept calling her during every commercial break to dish on the designs/rag on people. It was fun. This year should be more fun. Dad, of course, will run away. Smart man.

That's all I got. I'm off to get food now.

It's official!

It is officially springtime in Chicago. You know how I know? Because the first crew team has been spotted on the Chicago River. Yes, it's 46° and raining, but they're out in their boat, skimming down the river. When I see the first sailboat of the year I'll let y'all know, because that will officially be the first day of summer in Chicago.

And yes, for you non-Chicagoans, 46° (feels like 42°) really is springtime. This is almost shorts weather. No, really. It's supposed to be in the fifties this weekend—I guarantee people will be out in shorts.
