MY LIFE, MY LIFE, MY LIFE IN THE SUNSHINE

Memorial Day is definitely a great holiday. Not only do we get the opportunity to celebrate and honor the brave men and women who had and have continued to serve the United States of America but for the selfish side of me, it also signals that summer is right around the corner!

Can anyone say BAR-B-CUE!!!!

I had a great holiday weekend. I had the opportunity to make some new friends (which was great), as well as, get away from the norm for a few hours.

Now that I am back to reality, all I can think about is creating a bucket list. There are so many things that I have yet to see and do in the city during the summer months that I do not know where to start. The summer days are upon us and I am itching to explore the unknown!

Listed below are a few of the places that I would like to go. Not that they are mind blowing places, but more because I have never taken time out for me.

Here is the beginning of my list:

Doug Banks Birthday Party(Indiana)
Country Club Hills Theater(Great line up this summer)
Bahama Island (The view looks awesome and I heard that the food is great)
Grand Lux Cafe
Taste of Chicago (Opening Night)

I hope that I get to try out all of these and more. It is a shame that it has taken me so long to realize that life is passing me by. I always said that life should be enjoyable.. not all work and no play. Well, it is about time that I follow my own advice.

I am sure that this will be a gradual progression of events. But any progress is better than no progress.

Watch out Chicago and surrounding burbs, here I come!!
