Two years later, and she hasn't missed a beat. <br /><br />I had a dream once that I confided in you how worried I was with her obsession.<br />(Hey, thanks for being super calm with the news, dream Jo!) <br /><br />I say all this to say, <br />We're not from the mid-west.<br />She has never been to the mid-west. <br />I may have to have an intervention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-36390940768243632272012-06-29T19:24:25.066-04:002012-06-29T19:24:25.066-04:00Swoop bags sent me and I have to say the Mixed Met...Swoop bags sent me and I have to say the Mixed Metal Bangle...love bangles, cuffs and bracelets!tobyhirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140140751276341215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-42489294720201523102012-06-29T18:42:29.337-04:002012-06-29T18:42:29.337-04:00My husband is from N.

Especially things with our city flag. Midwesterners we are, but we don't necessarily identify as such since we're urban city people (the people out in the suburbs do, though). But we also don't really care enough about fashion as a whole (Milan, this is not). So no one will really even notice your shirt unless they like it. If you really own this shirt (and it's not just an affiliate link you posted) and like it wear it with gusto, my friend.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-9879632673967734562012-06-28T13:28:06.470-04:002012-06-28T13:28:06.470-04:00I'd say no on this one but I say yes to going ...I'd say no on this one but I say yes to going to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Tour in Chicago and checking out the free summer concerts in the Park at the stage designed by Frank Gehry (not sure the name but we got to see the Dirty Projectors there a couple of years ago).

One that involves a lot of cowboy hats....)<br /><br />Most places I've ever been to seem to have no problem "wearing the concert T to the concert" metaphorically speaking.

You will find natives and tourists wearing "Lake Michigan | Unsalted" shirts/hoodies. :) Lovely beaches, "real" downtowns, and generally happy people. <br /><br />Okay, back to Chicago... Shedd Aquarium is always fun, and Lincoln Park Zoo is free (yippee) with space to run and play (aka, non-stroller/backpack time for the little guy). My new favorite place to refresh is the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool. A lovely hide-away from city-ness just steps from The City. Great for regrouping, thinking, and enjoying native midwest vegetation. Kudos to volunteers for working to restore this gem!<br /><br />Enjoy your trip!FieldsofGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872241559148100654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-74542197689901744302012-06-26T22:35:28.726-04:002012-06-26T22:35:28.726-04:00Love the concert tee rule (and glad someone else a...Love the concert tee rule (and glad someone else abides by it).

It seems like you're always promoting something here on your blog, which leads your readers to feel like they need to purchase it.
