I should be....

Hello lovely Friday!

I'm off today, and am off until Dec 26.

I have a lot of things I should be doing today....I should be running errands, I should be packing, I should be writing, I should be purging, I should be baking, I should be calling and catching up, I should be not doing what I'm doing...which is watching old episodes of the Office online, casually re-arranging my desk into a more pleasing configuration and doing tiny loads of laundry--all in my pjs.

Well....happy holidays everyone--I'm heading back to ohio tomorrow to spend it with my family.

Oh Sniffers

He's a delight.
We took a stroll down Astor Street, which traverses it's way through the Gold Coast on the near-north side of Chicago. We walked by the Cardinal's mansion...past the James Charnley house (A Frank Lloyd Wright at 1365 North Astor Street) and then south on State, cutting over on Oak and then south on Michigan Avenue.

I couldn't resist taking pictures--Chicago was out in all it's Holiday Glory.

Our destination: River East to watch "No Country for Old Men".

We also picked up a Strawberry-Rhubarb tart at a little bakery on Oak Street for a gazillion bucks. In the movie, we had to wait until there was some killing to mask the unwrapping of the cellophane around the tart---it was really loud. Luckily, there was plenty of killing, so we didn't have to wait long.

Coming out of the theatre, here's what we saw---lit up like a movie set, for your perusal, the beautiful skyline of Chicago.

Enjoy.
