To the Effin' Class of 89
Last week was great, because on of my favorite friends in the world—Ann Garibaldi was in town visiting for an entire week. Really, not since we all went to Hawaii years ago have Amy, Ann, and I had such great one-on-one time.
We went away to a spa about 90 miles south of Chicago. Well, it actually turned out to be less of a spa than a fat camp. Actually, kind of a fat camp meets elder hostel. People, let this be a lesson to you. When the Web site looks suspicious, heed that as a warning. We were the youngest people there by a good 25 years, and it was a little too country even for Ann, who lived in Alaska for 13 years, for heaven's sake. Luckily, we smuggled in wine (alcohol and junk food are strictly prohibited) and sat up late chatting in their room. If only we could have ordered a pizza.
We also had a great night out in Chicago where we ate our weight in pasta at Terra Gusta and a fun night at Amy and Steve's where even Aim's college-aged cousins hung out with us all night. I can't tell you how great it was to see Annie, and for the Amy/Ann/Lisa trio to be reunited. I literally talked so much when we were together that my throat hurt.
And because you know there was one, here is the gratuitous slack-jaw photo from the evening. (Featuring Bob in the Rocky River mashup, too!)
