Notice the can of Suave hairspray in the cup-holder of the chair? Classic Buck.
Finally, once the hair-dressing was completed and the delicious watermelon daiquiries that Buck had prepared had gone WAY to my head, Iwanski and I parted ways with Buck and wandered back home to bask in first-vacation-day heavenly sleep.
The next day, Iwanski and I got up and got ourselves ready for a magnificent feast. Guess where we went?
OK, I guess that wasn’t too hard to guess. OK, now guess what we ate? I bet you could never guess it all.
Let me see if I can name just a few things: mustard-fried catfish, garlic mozzarella cheese bread, pierogis, chicken wings, steak tacos, a buffalo burger, and Rainbow ice cream. Yummy! Everything was absolutely delicious, including the weather. Warm, temperatures in the 70’s, but no humidity. Just beautiful!!
Then Iwanski and I went for one of our classic long city walks and enjoyed the summer festival atmosphere. Eventually, I—Miss Healthypants, mind you—succumbed to a Chicago hot dog, lovingly cooked by our 7-Eleven hosts. OK, it wasn’t quite the outdoor-charred-on-a-grill summer hot dog that I was longing for, but it did the trick.
The rest of the weekend went on swimmingly—just sunshine and warm temperatures, and Miss Healthypants in a fantastic mood. Even the threat of potential impending illness (enough already!) never amounted to anything, and a long walk to Oak Street beach today wrapped up an absolutely delightful weekend.
What can I say? I feel like one lucky girl.

Good friends,good drinks,and good food
That's the way the 4th is done!
I have a dumb question.(go figure)..
Is the 'Taste of Chicago' like,a year round type thing,or just seasonal?.
I keep hearing about it,and was just wonderin'.
Nice 'do by the way.
Sling--I WISH Taste of Chicago (we Chicagoans just call it "The Taste" or even just "Taste") was all year round--or even seasonal! It actually only happens once a year, for a week and a half. It starts a week before July 4th and continues for a couple of days after the 4th. It's my FAVORITE festival of the year. *smiles*
And I hate my hair that way--but thanks. :)
Whoo hoo!
I miss Chicago hotdogs. There are several places I can get my Vienna Hot Dog fix but the place in Cartersville, GA thinks that if I order a Chicago Hot Dog it has to everything on it. What the fuck. There also a place in Marietta, GA that is run by a Lane Tech grade knows what he's doing.
Some day I will be back and go to the taste.
