Must have . . .

...one of these.

I don't know where it came from, but a few months back I began this obsession with English Bulldogs! And I won't stop 'till I get one of my own. Seriously. My sister and I are going to visit a breeder over Christmas in Michigan and I hope to have my hands on one come Spring. Just need to save some dough or ahem, get that promotion! I have been devouring bulldog books and frequently stalk for this cute little bully who lives on my street. I literally started taking walks up and down my street just so I could see this little guy. Anyway, wanted to share a few irresistible pictures of them.

         Look at this hunk of love....

           And one more, he fell asleep with his tongue out!! Am I the only one who finds this ridiculously cute and lovable?!

Sidewalk Planters: Holiday Edition

I enjoyed the fall planters, but these are even better!! Sorry, a couple are a little blurry from the camera on my phone. Gives me some good ideas for decorating around the house!

     Love this one outside Room & Board...

              One right outside my office

Antipasto for the kids

We had an International potluck at work to raise money for a charity we are sponsoring this year. It's called Off the Street Club and its located in Garfield Park, which is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America. I've had a chance to meet the kids on a few different occasions, they are the sweetest kids. Today is the cumulation of a year of effort, the big luncheon is over at the Hilton today. This is the website we created to help raise money for the kids.

But back to the potluck, here is what I brought in. Yum! I wish that I would have made more caprese, it was all gone pretty quick! It was $10 for anyone at the agency to eat lunch, we ended up making over $1000 dollars for the kids.

Words for Wednesday

From my favorite, Quotable Cards.

Big game tonight.

Headed to one of the many State bars in Chicago to cheer on my Spartans. In case you forgot, we lost to UNC in the championship game last year. Here's to the rematch...
