Here is my plan for my single gals day in the city:
find the apartment I am staying at... I hope it is easy
Check out the Loop
Check out Linkin Park shopping ( I hear it is pretty great...)
Chinatown, if I have time and if it is worth it
Millennium park, I really want to see the bean

I cannot tell you how much I actually NEED this vacation. I am so tired physically and honestly, emotionally too. I had a break down last night (sometimes you just need a good cry) and in the midst of my crying and self-pity, I was thankful, as I looked at my little carry-on suitcase, that I had scheduled this vacay at just the perfect time!

Before the meltdown... dreading packing...


Post meltdown... ready to get the hell out of dodge...



See you all next Wednesday!
(you can keep up with me on twitter during my vacation, I am not going totally technology free. There is a button on the right side if you are interested.)

Au Revior!
