Friday night I arrived in the city just in time for an outfit change and dinner with some of my near and dear! Lindsey and Jay [next to me] flew in from Austin, TX for Jenna’s BIG surprise party so we met at one of Chicago’s new hot spots to welcome them to the Windy City. Sunda is a new sushi restaurant created by the masterminds behind Rockit Bar & Grill and Underground… Rockit Ranch Productions outdid themselves again. The atmosphere was second to none and is it just me or does food taste better when you are surrounded with fabulous people!?

More pictures to come! I have to figure out how to download and use Picasa on the Mac [Any suggestions?]. I took 137 pictures so I have a lot of work to do!!
Thank you for all of the sweet comments on Friday’s post. Someone asked, “Does HE know about accordingtonina.com?”
If you haven’t picked up on this yet… I’m an open book. Everyone knows everything about me. When I was 6-years-old, I flew to Florida by myself [to visit family] and by the time I got off the plane the nice man sitting next to me knew everything but my blood type. I had given him enough information that he was able to write a letter to my parents! He and my father played golf together for quite a few years after that letter. What can I say? I was born a networker!!
So, the answer is yes. Yes, he knows about accordingtonina.com. I told him it wasn’t fair but that I could deal with it. The deal is I get to ask all the questions when we are together so that I can catch up!! The good news is… he knows the good, bad and the ugly about me. Before we even met, he knew about my dislike for warm shrimp and that my left-hand is pretty much useless and he not only asked me out once but twice. So… we’ll see.

You are a picture of fabulosity! But if “he” knows about accordingtonina, how can we girly talk about him
But it will give us the opp to make sure he knows that you are the perfect woman!!! And if I had another son, well, you would be my other BDiL. xoxo

BTW – I’m the same way – I’m an open book too. Everyone knows about my blog and if you spend more than 10 minutes with me, you pretty much know my life history. I think it would be better if more people in the world were less guarded.

Um, small world it sometimes is, so thought I’d ask – Jay’s name doesn’t happen to be Sanjay by chance?
