Yesterday I spent some time with the girls of Chicagonista Live (minus Nancy Loo, who had to anchor the noon news, and plus Barbara Rozgonyi!), because they broadcasted from Skydeck Chicago and had asked me to be a guest on the show, to promote my book. I had a great time with MJ, Beth, Duong, and Barbara, and being able to stand on the sidelines and watch their production up close and personal was pretty cool, too. Randy Stancik, the General Manager of Skydeck Chicago, was a guest too. If you’d like to watch the recording, click here! After the show, we wanted to get some pictures on The Ledge,…

Breakfast On The Ledge! Yoga On The Ledge!
As most of you know, this summer I am a Skydeck Chicago Ambassador. It’s been really fun so far, being associated with the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower, one of the great buildings of the world! Although I’m not being financially compensated for this program, one of my benefits was the opportunity to enjoy “Breakfast on The Ledge”, and I took advantage of it on Monday. My companion for breakfast? My older son, D.

We started getting excited when…

I can help you there. In fact, I wrote a post about it, but it’s not here. It’s here (click that cute button!): So please go give me some love over there, would you? And speaking of Chicago (and really, when do I NOT?), my next post will be a recap of the breakfast D and I enjoyed…

Up on the Roof
Make fun of me if you will, but I am a Chicago Cubs fan. Go on, I know you want to. *Ridicule Break* Okay, are you finished? Good. I have been a Cubs fan ever since I can remember, even though I didn’t actually get to see my first game all up-close-and-personal-like until I was about 28 years old. And it was in Milwaukee, against the Brewers. I have, since then, seen a couple of games at Wrigley Field and it’s a great time, even when the Cubs lose. Which they usually do. But next year’s our year, you know? Anyway, it was a banner day when I was able…

A Cupcake Haiku
Cupcakes are so sweet Spongy baked goodness melts me Icing-induced high. Um yeah. I promise to resume regular programming in the next day or two, but I’m a little preoccupied right now, what with all the sugar I ingested today. If you’re interested in learning about the behind-the-scenes tour of Sprinkles Cupcakes Chicago I took today, check this out. In the meantime, I’m off to bed…the sugar…is…wearing……..off…..zzzzzzz
