It's the Best Christmas EVER!!!!

Yes, Van and I are the proud owners of a brand new Wii. And --- It only took us calling every store in the DC metro area every single day for an entire week. Now that we have it, it was so worth the effort.

Van went to Toys R Us as soon as the store opened Sunday to snatch one up off their latest shipment. Of course we couldn't just get the Wii, we also purchased an extra controller (I have to play too), Mario Cart - with steering wheel, and a charging station. Four hundred dollars later, we were in Wii Heaven.

Seriously, I love it. I think that its great. I could play everyday. Of course the best part of the whole day was beating Van at golf.

My Latest Guilty Pleasure

I was searching online for a return address stamp for the wedding invitations and I found this fabulous blog, The Preppy Wedding. Seriously, I could read it for days.

I know that most people could care less, but with my wedding less than 4 months away I found this blog to be wealth of fabulous resources. I just love the look and feel of the site. I’m hoping that my wedding will be as just as classy and elegant.

Chicago

What do you do with 24 hours in Chicago?

Eat - of course!

I made a quick trip to Chicago for work last week. Thankfully, I had a few hours to walk around Michigan Ave and grab dinner with my friend, Rory.

Salad and Strawberry Lemonade - Not a bad start!

Okay, I didn't actually have one of these, but boy did I want one!

Rory didn't quite pull his weight on this one!

Of course, I couldn't leave Chicago without...

Regret

Regret is:

2 Glasses of Red Wine

8 Rum and Cokes

1 Tequila Shot

My Favorite Day!

It's Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day! Hooray!

Michelle and I visited the Ben & Jerry's store in Dupont Circle today to get our own free scoop. Of course, it was so hard to choose just one!

Whew!

Our annual meeting is finally over! Yippee! I am so glad to get my life back. I know that haven't been a frequent blogger of late, but it was a seemingly impossible task between 12-hour work days, wedding planning and tennis lessons. Now that I am back to regular work hours I can finally start catching up with all my blogging friends!
