2012: june edition

summer had finally arrived in chicago!  though i was spending a lot of time working (i wrote here about the special project i was part of), we were able to take in perfect summer weather throughout the month.  

one random weekend evening, g and i decided to walk to nearby lincoln square and enjoy tasty margaritas and mexican food.  i explained to g that we should just get a pitcher of margaritas to split.  i assured him it was probably only 2 glasses each (i wasn't sure, but i figured it was probably like a bottle of wine...right? maybe?!).  well, i was sorely mistaken.  after g had filled his margarita glass up twice and there was still half a pitcher, he started to look at me suspiciously.  i admitted that i truly didn't know how many drinks it would produce but said that we couldn't waste the delicious mexican beverages!  well, here's what became of g towards the end of our dinner....and a seemingly never-ending pitcher of margaritas!

 each year we say we're going to skip the gay pride festivities the following year but somehow we get caught up in the excitement of the day with our friends.  this particular year one of our favorite bands, the scissor sisters, was performing at a small venue the evening of the parade.  though i knew it would be a lot of fun, i also knew that it could be disastrous after all the parade festivities.  a nap was much-needed before the show.  but i definitely rallied and enjoyed the fabulous show!
