Weekend Update

Or really, this should be called Monday Morning Brain Dump. I had a jam-packed weekend and instead of writing a novel, I'll just show you in pictures.

On Friday I spent the day in the city with a group of ladies I met through blogging. I've hung out with Dana and Chris before, but this time I got to meet Leeann and Sami, too. We trotted around the city seeing all sorts of tourist-y things, including the Sears Tower (I don't care that the name is different now! Sears Tower for life!).

Saturday was an epic work marathon. I had some orders to make and ship, more inventory to get ready for the show this weekend, and two final projects that are due Wednesday and Thursday. I got some stuff done in all of those areas, so my stress level is in a good place right now. Looking at a big pile of rhinestones can calm a girl down, too:

It's a good thing I was productive on Saturday, because Sunday ended up being awesome for a totally different reason:

One of my best friends scored some Bears tickets from a neighbor who couldn't go to the game. Did we want to go instead? UM, YEAH. Yeah we did. Not only was it the first game I've been to in 6 years, but these particular neighbors had something called United Club passes (which are a step above regular tickets but not as fancy as a skybox). I feel like I would've been crazy to pass that up to do silly old homework. Totally worth any additional stress it may cause.

And now it's Monday and I'm back to my orders/homework/show routine! What were you up to this weekend? Anybody go somewhere exciting? Who else is prepping for a big show?

P.S. In case one post isn't enough, I'm guest writing over on Milo and Molly today! Come see the easiest holiday decor idea ever.
