Crazy stupid... life?

I just realized it's been a while since I wrote a blog post! Sorry!

These past few days have been really hectic. Even though we are approaching the weekend, here's a recap:
- Friday night we hung out with our friends Emily and Scott. They took us to this really cute part of Lincoln Park called North Pond, which was beautiful. Only problem is that somehow, wherever I am, mosquitoes find me and attack me. The bigger part of that is I am "very allergic" to mosquito bites. More on that in a sec.
- Saturday we went to Hub51's amazing sushi happy hour, where all their delicious sushi is half priced. Afterwards we went to see Crazy Stupid Love, which was SO GOOD. Not predictable at all. I don't think I can oversell this movie, it was that good. Go see it- the perfect date movie. Also, fun fact, if you watch America's Next Top Model, Annaleigh (who was one of my faves) stars in the movie!
- Sunday we went to brunch with Matthew and Stef at West Egg, and by then my feet were disgusting and swollen to the size of footballs.

This week we have been so busy with random things. I had to go to the doctor to deal with my bug bites since they were getting to the point where benadryl had zero effect. My ridiculous doctor told me he "couldn't call anything in without seeing me" while I'm crying from the pain. So I went to see another doctor because I was so mad. Thankfully I got meds and they are much better(aside from the fact that I look like a Leper).

I am also super happy that one of my dearest friends in the world, Emily Spector, moved to the city on Monday with her boyfriend Mike, and it is so nice to have them here!

On a random note, I made three purchases this week that I am in LOVEEEEE with...
First, are fleece lined tights by Plush. Apparantly they are a necessity in winter here. Literally, they are fleeced-lined.
Second, I had been eyeing the Tory Burch "clines" flats for weeks, and they are the cutest, most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Totally worth the money.

Third, from a recommendation from my mother-in-law (whose birthday is today- Happy Birthday!!!) I bought Bella a Thundershirt. This is the smartest and simplest concept ever, yet I never heard about it before. It's a lightweight jacket for the dog, that essentially works like swaddling does for a baby. Bella is like a completely different dog. So calm and not barking. Insane... and only $36! Worth every penny if you ask me.

So if you take anything from this post, go see Crazy Stupid Love, and buy your dog a Thundershirt! :)
