How I know Chicago is the place for me
The Beer Garden at their downtown Navy Pier named one of their daily specials after me.

One of the big highlights of my trip to Chicago was getting the chance to explore a bit around the city with blog friends. Thank you so much Tara and Melissa for inviting me to the Navy Pier with you!



Ha! You’re so funny.

Thanks for commenting on my post. Brick by brick until the building, I mean, our child is launched with love! Looks like you had fun at Blogher!

I love it! You are so funny!

This is hilarious. It took me several days of wandering confused around Madison, WI, where I went to college, to figure out that “brat” rhymed with “hot” and not with “hat.” It cleared up a lot once I learned that.

LOL, you’re adorable!
July 28th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
ROFL! Too much! So glad you had some time to enjoy some sight-seeing.

I take it you liked the Ginormous Brat — or it reminded you of your daughter — one or the other. Just kidding. You know babysodes is one of my favorites!!!

Oh, you are a funny one, Sandy. So glad I got to meet you; you’re a delight.

I love this. Maybe Chicago is the place for me, as well!
July 29th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
too funny! I have to quit reading all the blogs about Blogher, I am so jealous. I really hope to attend next year, but my husband still doesn’t understand the blog world and the awesome community that it is.
July 29th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
LOL too funny!
July 29th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
That is too funny. I don’t know if I want to know if that is a mistake. I’m scared of what they were trying to say.
July 29th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
I went to the Navy Pier too while at BlogHer. Did you ride any boats? Or see the fireworks? It was awesome!
July 29th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Ha ha ha. LOVED this.
July 29th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
LOL! No brat for me, but I’d take a trip to Chicago any day of the week!
July 29th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
LOL You’re too funny!
July 29th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
That is hilarious!
July 29th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Love it!!!
July 29th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I seriously doubt you’re a brat!
Glad you got to go to Navy Pier. Did you know I grew up partially in the Chicago area?
July 29th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Thank you! I had great afternoon with you and Melissa.
July 29th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
