This awesome guest post was brought to you by the lovely Maggie of Red Letter Haze!

A few days before Jamie took off to Vegas she asked me to guest post on her blog. While I’m happy that she handed over the blog reigns to me, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t the least bit jealous. I was planning on joining her, but after the guilt trip I got from my mom & fiancé about spending money on a vacation when I should be saving for a wedding the closest I was getting to Vegas was seeing The Hangover in theaters this weekend (flipping hilarious by the way).

But seriously, my brain must be in Vegas or something because I cannot think of anything worth sharing.

First I was thinking writing about how awesome Jamie is, but you all already know that (but she totally is). I totally have a blog crush on her. And she’s an even better dinner date.

Then I was like, well I can list all the reasons why I’d rather be in Chicago than Vegas. Besides the Printer’s Row Lit Fest and ‘Chicago is the New Vegas’ meetup, nothing earth shattering happened. And the weather sucked. Big time. Last time I checked, it was June not March.  Plus I heard Vegas has a Serendipity, and Chicago is severely lacking in that department. So, Vegas-2 Chicago-0.

So instead I just rambled my way through this post by writing about what I wasn’t going to write about. Does that even make sense?

While part of me wishes I was partying it up with the best of them in Vegas, I know I’ll get to meet many of you in a few weeks here in Chicago.

And I can’t wait for my next dinner date with Jamie so she can fill me on all the details!
