My Heart

Meet Miss S. I’ve mentioned on more than one occasion that I don’t have a big immediate family. I have no first cousins, but was blessed with a big extended “family” of friends that are just as close as the real thing. Miss S is a very big part of that. I remember when she [...]

Confessions

08.31.2010

I’ll just get it right out there in the open…I am NOT a good cook. There, I said it.

HLS Open Sky Cocktail Party

08.14.2010

Last night I attended my first HLS event–the Open Sky Cocktail Party at the LaSalle Power Co in Downtown Chicago. I was SUPER nervous all day. I didn’t know a single person going into this event, and I was worried that it would be cliquey and I would be standing alone like a fool! Fortunately [...]
