December 8th - Chicago Shenanigans

On Monday, December 8^th, I spent a day in the Windy City with my dear friend, Roxanne.  We managed to visit Macy’s and several fabulously decorated buildings.  Our stop at ChristKindl Market was delightful and charming…and interrupted with a mistletoe toter who was hoping for some lip action from yours truly.  A) Where have his lips been?  B) I’m not that kinda girl to go kissing just anybody.  I mean, HELLOOOO!  I probably would’ve opted for a cheeky smooch had he not been invading my personal space at a rate of 10 steps per minute – oh, and saying, “Well, this is awkward…”  Imagine my nervous laughter and quick back-steps.  Such a fun day with delightful memories…  We found a Gloria Jean’s Coffeeshop.  Madison and State – or atleast near there.  I introduced Roxanne to their Sleigh Ride beverage.  Changed her life…or at the very least – MADE HER DAY!!!  I had a large hot chocolate.  It was worth every penny.  Yummy chocolate-ness in a cup on a drizzily, dark, overcast day.
