Well, I ended up cancelling my birthday plans because I wasn’t feeling good. That sucked a lot. I’m hoping to reschedule soon and get all my girls out!
The following day, William took me out to dinner for my birthday. I chose Hot Chocolate. Let me start off by saying, I’m not much of a foodie. I don’t have a refined palate. I’m a simple girl, I don’t need fancy stuff. But OMG, can we pretend I do more often? Seriously, I don’t think I have ever moaned and groaned while eating before. It was delicious. I’m planning on going back soon to try their mac and cheese and another dessert I missed out on.
Anyone in Chicago up for a Hot Chocolate date when I get back?
Get back from where you ask?
On Thursday, I leave for Florida for a few days. I’m really excited about getting out of Chicago for a little while and into some warm weather. And obviously, Mickey Mouse and roller coasters. Duh. Jenn hasn’t been there since she was little so it’s time to show her the way of the Mouse. We don’t do that space center bullshit (ahem).
Also, I’ll be (hopefully) meeting up with a few of you Orlando people. If you haven’t heard from me and would like to grab dinner or drinks, email me!
There will be a few guest posters while I’m away too so play nice.
Time to pack.
(And by pack I obviously mean: time to put in Twilight and laugh at the ridiculousness of it. It’s just so bad it’s good.)

Favorite bad line from “Twilight” – “It’s just a scary story.” Jacob sounds AWFUL when he says it and I laugh every time.
Hmm. I should get the DVD at some point.
See you this weekend!

Have fun in FL. I’m super jealous. And I don’t think Twilight’s that awful. I actually kinda love it. Hot Chocolate sounds like Co Co Sala in DC which is my fave restaurant ever.

I’d go to Hot Chocolate! I haven’t had a meal there – just hot chocolate, but it definitely left an impression.
Have fun in Florida!

“I’m getting whiplash from your mood swings.” Funny every time
Have fun in the warm weather! All of us north of the Mason Dixon line will be shivering with jealously.

You have been to Disney more in the past year than I have uhh ever. Something about that isn’t quite right.
I mean for me…I should be at Disney more often, you know? C’mon Mickey. Where’s my invite?

You know what is the stupidest part of Disney World?
Epcot center.
I hope someone burns it down one day. Seriously.

I’m one of those people who almost pulls a When Harry Met Sally while eating good foods. When I visit you in Chicago (not if, WHEN), we’re totally going to this place. Get ready.

Hit the “Twilight” nail on the head – so bad it’s funny. Or is it just funny to see how INTO Twilight some people are?
