Adventures in Chicago With Shannon
Another adieu to my fabulous friend
November 3, 2009
________________

My friend Shannon is leaving me yet again, this time after returning to Chicago from NYC. He'll be embarking on a journey to L.A. this time. Butthead. That's okay. I'm not bitter ;)

Anyway, we spent the day downtown goofing off with my camera, and trying a few new things like Doug's Dogs and The Silver Palm (I'd been there before, but Shannon HAD to try the three little pigs sandwich, since Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Network declared it the best sandwich in the counrty).

We returned to my humble abode and created my first ever fire in my apartment's fireplace. My Bengal cat, Leala, was fascinated by this new phenomenon :)

So to one of my best friends, I bid you a tearless adieu, since I know that you'll be seeing much of me - warm weather is far too tempting for me to NOT visit you (and there are LOTS of fabulous friends of mine in L.A. in addition). Love you oodles!

Shannon's STILL got an obsession with shoes, even after leaving NYC





Look, Mom, I'm Russian!

Wardrobe change!! Got a new leather jacket!! :)

Shannon's a brave soul - ordered the three little pigs sandwich from the Silver Palm: A breaded pork tenderloin, ham, bacon, and gruyere cheese, topped with an egg and placed on a brioche bun... my heart hurt just looking at it!
