Another one that I took today -just making up for yesterday. I do have pictures from yesterday and day before but forgot to bring the cord along so might have to wait a little while for those :)

Fun day out - driving down to the beach and eating cherries from a randon farm off the road - now THAT is what I called vacation!

Sadly, no pic from me tonight - I know am laxing but...tooooo tired plus still working on work stuff. Went to bath and body works on my way back though and bought some fun stuff...mmmm nice smelling things - I like!

Mechanical failure my behind...waiting an hour and a half at the station in 90 degrees heat is not cool! :(

Cute little dress...

Ice cold drink...

Whatever the upside...I have had enough of the hot weather...could someone bring on the 40 degrees from a couple of weeks back? Please?

Pretty flowers in bloom :)

I might not be much of a cook...but I sure can put a pretty plate together!

Don't worry....be happy - matches my mood today :)

Whats with women and tiaras?

This poor thing was left alone on the street...I feel sad for the kid who lost him. But, it's strange how twisted the world has become - I actually called the cops to report this just to make sure that he was there by accident and not by design!

Btw got me weights today...and they are AWESOME!

Ricksha-wala Bhaiya?

Oh black beauty what did you do? - Did not expect to see that on the magnificent mile!

Bachelorette Party?

Coffee and some studuying on a Saturday evening, maybe I do need a life. Do they sell that in stores?

Census 2010 - sent yours yet?

-3 degrees in May...I love it...if only it could stay this way till winters :)

Everytime I cross this building I wonder that she must be so proud yet so lonely, standing there all by herself in the middle of no where with her head held high. Today though I felt a power in her - with the dark clouds circling her head and the winds whipping by her side, she felt like a princess - a warrior princess - ready to charge out to battle. The photo doesn't do her justice. Sorry about that. Plus am sure that sounds foolish and maybe crazy, but rainy/cloudy days bring out that side of me! :)

Couldn't resist taking their picture...they looked sweet together with their colorful coats and matching back packs. I hope they are a happy couple, they seemed like it.

Wish I had seen this yesterday - but it's never too late to say "Mom, I love you - this much!!"

Anywhoo, my shoe obsession continues - found another person with really 'cool' shoes while on my daily pic hunt today. Man these shoes really rocked! Funny thing - I heard his companion ask him 'so you bought the shoes huh?' Shoulda stuck around to listen to his reply.

Happy Mothers' day mom :) You are the best mom in the world and my kids would be very lucky if am half as good as you are when the time comes!

Am feeling chatty (didn't really speak to a soul today!!) so there are some more bonus pics:

Saw this guy when I was coming back home from my walk. Loved his shoes :D I don't think the pic really captures them but oh well. Then saw another guy who met him at the intersection - the other guy had even more interesting shoes, sadly couldn't take pics of his choice of footwear!

On another note - I almost didn't go out for the daily pic hunt today. Was busy being lazy and sitting on the couch all day and then started cleaning my fridge. Felt really accomplished once that was done. Didn't realize how big a chore that was considering that the poor thing hadn't seen the inside of a sponge in 2 years!!

Just one word - YummmmmmmmmY!!

Top chef tour...watch what happens!

Black beauty?

I just missed the train...but there are 362 days still left to make it.

Didn't mean to make it all about the buildings but couldn't find anything else during my walk today. Will make sure I have something better to put up tomorrow...it was gorgeous outside though.

The Chicago Downtown Library - Thought the first pic should start with one of my favorite places in the city :)
