weekend recap: sweet home chicago

Happy Monday!

I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend. I've been home in Chicago since Thursday, and have been doing all of my favorite things.

I spent the day downtown on Friday meeting with people, and visiting my Dad/Brother at work. Love the "Sears" Tower (I refuse to call it anything else...Willis what?)

Saturday I went out with some of my best girlfriends. I miss them terribly when I'm in NYC. 

Fun fact: I was a figure skater when I was younger. 

Seriously. So when I discovered the Kristi Yamaguchi was going to be at the local bookstore yesterday, I just HAD to go.

She read her new Children's book, and then did some Q&A. My favorite question/answer:

Question: What are your thoughts on practice makes perfect?

Kristi: I think that practice makes pretty good. If it made perfect, we would stop trying. You should always be striving for something better, and always working on your craft.

Carly and I had brunch yesterday. She is as sweet in person, as on her blog. Seriously love her. If it weren't for her coming to my town, I would have never seen that Kristi was coming. Thanks Carly! 

And of course, I was with my little noodle Penny Lane all weekend. She's such a doll. 

And I leave you with possibly the greatest song right now. And the video is the best. 

Selena Gomez + Justin Beiber + Ashley Tisdale = perfection (the Disney kid in me is VERY happy)
