Last weekend of the summer in the city...and celebrating the promotion

I just realized that this past weekend was my last weekend of the summer in the city. I will be leaving for Europe on Friday! I am stressing out b/c I have sooo much to do! I have to pack all of my stuff in a large backpack which is gong to totally cramp my style:-) So, this week I will be finishing up packing and getting ready for the trip.

Garry and I flew to Chicago on Thursday night. We had a late night dinner at a dinner up the road b/c we got in late from the airport.

During the week I received the official notice that I was promoted to consultant which made my week! On Friday, I had flowers delivered and I assumed they were from my mom b/c she tends to send flowers but this time they were from Garry! He ordered them during the week so I would get them on Friday and be able to enjoy them this week while I am at home working. They are really pretty. Of course, no roses b/c I don't like those they are too cliche and too predictable. The arrangement consisted of Gerber Daisies (my favorite), tulips, and lillies. It was very thoughtful and definitely made my day.



Friday night we went to dinner at Sapori(http://www.saporitrattoria.net/) to celebrate my promotion. It was a small Italian restaurant and we were able to sit outside and the ambiance was great! The food was also really good. The lobster ravioli amazing!
On Saturday we had brunch with Robyn and Chuck and our favorite brunch place and of course some mimosa to go with.

After brunch we ventured out to Wrigleyville. We wanted to go to the cubs game but it was supposed to rain and decided not to get tickets and just hang out during the game in the area and played cards.






Sunday we did nothing but watch Lost! I finally caught up to the recent season, so now I have to wait for the new season like everyone else! Garry left for the airport around 5:30:-( It was hard to see him go....

It was a great weekend for the last weekend of the summer in the city.

So, now I am back to packing and I am pondering if it is ok to wear white in London after Labor Day? I wonder if they have a "rule" like ours...
