Quarter of a Century? You betchaaaaa!

Delayed post by a week since I haven't been at my desktop to upload pix AND I was out of town


This passed weekend was definitely a fun one! My Friday morning was spent hanging out in the City. Come Friday night I was at a local fest with my homies :). I love festivals they're probably my favorite part of summer in the city! The only reason I ever go to this particular fest is for the yummy artichoke casserole! OMG delish!! If you haven't noticed I'm a foodie ;). haha. Next time I will get a picture although its not all the pretty to look at. It's artichoke hearts, garlic, and bread crumbs from what I can tell. My friends and I ate good food, played games & had loads of laughs! Those are always the best of times.

 BALLLINNNNN...lol those are clearly fake ;)
 Make it Make it rain trickkkkkk
 Being Pervs!
 Knocked up!

Cabbage the Carnie Fish!
Saturday AM was spent working :(, but Saturday night was poppin! It was my friend David's 25th birthday! Majority of my friends and myself are slowly, but surely turning a quarter of a century old. OMGosh! Scaryyyy!! LOL..I can't believe we're all 5 yrs from 30 eeekk!! It feels like just last week I was with David and my friend Meg at Six Flags Great America, but damn time flies it's already been 6 yrs!! That's where me n David met, yet we had a friend in common, Gina. So we hit the club!! To dance our young hearts out! We also consumed some beverages, if you know what I mean. LOL. It has been so long since I hit up a club I sure did miss it. We hit up Transit. 

Gina and I before we headed out to the club...yes, I wear glasses, but only for driving safely :) other than that I don't
 Me & Theresa one of my OLD friends' baby sisters that I randomly ran into

 A caught off guard moment! HAHA I look bogus!

I love the Gays&the Gays love me




What I wore..Target Purple Shirt, Aero Tank Top, Silver Jeans, Boutique Peace Key Ring, Tiffany braclet and Ring, Hamsa bracelet from Morocco.























Last week I had no power for about a day and lemme tell ya it was the WORST day!! nah, it wasn't that bad, but it did suck.

I had a super fun/super busy weekend! On friday I had lunch with my dad, then took my younger sister to the pool, then had a date!! Which I thought went well, but apparently didn't since I haven't talked to the guy since saturday. AH well you win some you lose some.

Saturday I hung out at home then had a bbq with my aunt, cousin, and cousins friend. Then I went to my towns festival to watch American English (beatle's cover band) and the fireworks (of course) can't miss those!!

Sunday I woke up early to head to boystown (gay hood of chicago) for pride parade! What a fiasco that was. It took us about an 1.5 traveling time on the EL (public transport) because we had to skip 2 brown lines since they were overly packed to capacity. FINALLY we made it there!! woohoo..once there it was SOOO crowded and hot! We couldn't even get close enough to see the parade. Boohoo..so 4 us decided to go grab lunch at a local watering hole. BIIG mistake since we sat there for over an hour before even being asked if we wanted a beverage ( of course we did) it was hotter then hell! By the time we got our food we had probably been in there for like 2 hours so we headed back out to find the rest of our crew. Well we didn't find them, but we found the parade still going on, LONGEST parade ever! Then we saw some craZii people dancing and shaking their stuff on top of a tilting 7-11 semi. Girls were showing their breasts as if it were Bourbon Street celebrating Mardi Gras . It was crazii one girl was damn near naked with only a thong on and there were men and women kissing her and grabbing her. It was disgusting and I'm sure she'll be awfully embarrassed as soon as that video shows up on YouTube since there WERE people recording it.

Monday 4 of us hit up the taste of CHicago. IT was yummmmy in our tummies! The taste is when about 50 restaurants have stands and you can taste their food! It's an awesome way to find new places to eat. IT was soooooooo hot!! But none of us wanted to drink anything for fear of needing to use the washroom and being stuck with using a Port-a-potty!! YUCKYYYYYYYYYYYY.
