Where oh where have I been? London? Paris? Rome? Sadly, no. Actually, I have been ferociously tackling the beast that is my glorious new shopping cart. The highlights of a typical day have included my daily outing for coffee and coming up with new stretches after long stints at my desk. The wrestle is coming to an end and my clients and I will have a bright and happy shopping future ahead of us! In celebration of this momentous occation I am posting pictures of Chicago!

For my birthday this year I declared that there was nothing I wanted more than to go on a Segway tour of Chicago. Being the avid Arrested Development fan that I am, once I caught a glimpse of Gob on that fantastic scooter thing, I knew I had to partake. Thus my birthday request was born. I have never been so satisfied with anything as I was this tour. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Wow, bold statement. I laughed the first ten minutes, the day was perfect, and I have never felt so in love with my city as I did on this tour. Also we stopped for hot dogs, which I admittedly love. And there was the glorious satisfaction of knowing that no one was having as much fun as me zooming around the city. The one regret I have was not wearing a cape.

Now, let it be known that there is nothing so quaintly humbling as seeing a picture of yourself in a helmet in the mid-afternoon sun. Yikes! However, I thought you might enjoy this full glimpse of me on a Segway in front of Buckingham Fountain.

Chicago, a city of divine favor

Quintessential perfection

A great moment (minus helmet and handle bars)

Hooray for the days ahead!
