This past Tuesday 26 July 11 was my 34th birthday.
I had a wonderful day with the kids and then Eric and i went out for a wonderful evening.
On Friday we went to out to dinner with my Mom and Dad and had an absolutely fabulous time.
My parents took the kids home with them on Friday night and that was such a lovely gift. I so needed a little R&R.
On Saturday we slept in, relaxed some more, cleaned, little laundry some more R&R:-) and then i packed up for my STAYCATION:-)
I headed the 13 miles to the city to my best friend Nichole’s apartment. Going to her place is always such a wonderful break for me. We hung out at her place for a bit chatting with her room mate Ellen before getting We got ready and headed to her neighborhood street fair, the logan square street fest.
these next three pics crack me up i just HAD to include them.

I was determined to keep my eyes open for take 3 here is the result LOL
It was a beautiful night for live music, god food ( well not really, surprisingly the food was VERY limited and not the greatest for a Chicago street fair) and some yummy beer.

After the street fair we went to a local pub and HAD the best time.
They had a martini called the “flirtini” it was made for me…all my favorite ingredients and the name was just perfect lol as i tend to be a flirt without realizing it…..its harmless though…..i’ve got my man LOL

I had one to many flirtini’s but had a great time and that is all that matters.
Sunday we were supposed to go boating….did NOT happen, then we were just going to go to the beach…did NOT happen…..then we thought since we were so a little tired from the night before and it was so hot outside we would go to a movie….did NOT happen…Haaaaaha
