Little Sis in the City.

Every year, I create a "To-Do" list of items to accomplish during my two-week Christmas break. And each year, I accomplish said tasks. However, as part of my "post-holiday detox", I have been putting off that inevitable list and am really trying to relax and enjoy what's left of the season. However, all of this fun and enjoyment is making me one tired lady, and I think I'd rather just get back to a schedule, thankyouverymuch. Who would have thought that I could be more tired when I'm not working? Oh, the irony.

That being said, it HAS been a rather fun past few days of post-Christmas adventures. For instance, THIS little lady (I shall call her mini-me) came up to the big bad city to visit her big sister:

Molly loved posing for all of the beautiful lights we found on Michigan Avenue! (Just kidding. Seriously, this 18-year old is WAY more mature than myself.)

After the little sister's visit, the hubs and I decided to trek out to the 'burbs for a marathon shopping trip: DSW (He just might love shoe shopping more than myself!), Home Depot, IKEA and Costco (where, yes, we are proud members).

Let's discuss Home Depot. We are in the process of tearing up our kitchen floor and made the stop for some items to complete said project.

While Mike looked for everything we needed (like caulk, ugh), I proceeded to:

* Get many dirty looks from employees as I tried to push a cart AND balance my iPhone and Starbucks.

* Climb on a ladder.

* Get lost in the drill section - SCARY!

* Ram my cart into another customer as I continued to balance my coffee.

Umm, I think it's pretty obvious that I DO NOT BELONG IN A HOME DEPOT.

See??? I look all sorts of confused! Where do YOU hate to shop???
