Today we met up with Shruti who was here for a conference. We toured the USS Constitution. Old Ironsides is actually where Aaron is working these two weeks for Naval Reserves duty. Apparently he is getting his picture taken a lot.

We were at the race at California Speedway today. The Kodak No. 12 looked so cool... but had mechanical trouble before the end of the race. Bummer.

Piglet was excited to check out the track.

We signed the finish line.

Can I just talk for a moment about how hot it was out there? It was 102+ at the track. I mean, it's already practically in the desert and then Southern California had a heat wave. 

We went to watch a little of the 30 Seconds to Mars concert in the fan zone and I started to feel sick to my stomach. I have no idea how they were able to perfom like that... much less pull stunts like climbing the scaffolding (see above)

I remember saying to Aaron "I think I am going to die... of heat" as we stumbled around. It was that bad.

One last thing. At the Busch race all the guys were snickering at the Race Girl car. They couldn't get over it being pink. Well, I thought it was cute. So today, I went and found their souvenir trailer and bought a t-shirt. They had the busiest trailer of any the drivers by the way! Hah!

More around Chicago

We went for breakfast at Orange... I have wanted to eat there ever since Giada went for Giada's Weekend Getaway.

Aaron got the french toast kabobs and I got Popeye's eggs. The frushi wasn't ready yet and I was bitterly disapointed. 

We went on the OFFICIAL Chicago Architecture Society's boat tour. The whole time the line "A three hour tourrrrrr" was going through my head. 

Chicago's famous Garrett Popcorn. The cheese popcorn is good. The caramel popcorn is good. Combine them together and they are fannn-tastic!

Katie from happykatie.com caught me taking a picture of a bus stop on the street. She is just about the nicest person I have ever met. And she directed me to Filenes Basement. 

Piglet enjoyed shopping on the Magnificent Mile. Piglet spent way too much at Lush. 

 
 

I find myself attracted to this trolley. Must be the name.

Would someone drag me away from this bean?!

Other notes and observations

My hair, albeit short, doesn't do well in humidity

I am going to have some shoulder issues this week after carring my laptop everywhere this weekend.

Stuffed pizza is good. 

I need to order more moo cards.

The Art of Crafting

Amy Sedaris and Piglet

Really... need I say anything?

When I apologized for how grubby Piglet she said... "Oh that's okay... he's a dirty toy"




Amy was on a panel with Kristen of Craft Leftovers, Natalie of coquette.blogs.com and Crafty Chica... Kathy Cano Murillo who I was thrilled to meet in person. I think this was my favorite session of the conference.

Excellent.
