That could also have been because I was awaiting the arrival of my baby brother from Florida for a much needed visit too.
Scrambles of house cleaning and preparation lead up to the big day only to be let down when United Airlines couldn't seem to deliver my Memorial Day weekend gift on time.
Tenacity runs in the family...my brother wasn't going to let some airline delays get in the way of getting back to Illinois for some holiday fun. He took a two hour taxi to Tampa so that he could catch the next available plane to Houston to change planes onto to Chicago....that's determination!
Frustrated, I put on my heels and headed to the office to pass the time and get some work done. You know me...idle time is time wasted.
It was 6 hours later when I circled O'Hare International airport waiting impatiently for Frank to get his baggage out of baggage claim.
Whoot! Whoot!
The Ingo Family weekend was about to begin and I was feeling happy to be alive!
First stop Portillo's of course....a Chicago favorite! Hotdogs, beef sandwiches, and CHEESY FRIES. Life is good!
Saturday was supposed to be a thrilling day at Great America but you see in Chicago...Mother Nature is a bit bi-polar so when we woke the temperature was 44 degrees. So much for thrill rides at Great America.
No worries though...the Ingos are go with the flow kind of folks and we also are VERY competitive!
So a little cosmic bowling and laser tag was in order followed by some buffalo wings and beers at the nearest watering hole where we could sit all night and watch the Chicago Blackhawks in the playoffs.
This fight like a girl of course won every game of bowling....what cancer?
Day 2 brought lipstick and SOX Gear?! Now that's love. This die hard North side Cubs fan downed White Sox gear because that's what the people I love wanted and headed to the South side.I even accessorized my Sox gear with pearls of course and lipstick...red lipstick! Would you expect anything else from this fight like a girl? My best accessory I think was the permanent smile I had ALL weekend!
What no heels?! Yep this fight like a girl....gave up the heels just for this day.
A beautiful weather day and a ton of family fun kept us laughing and having fun no matter what team was playing.
White Sox win, a tour of Chinatown, and cruising in the Mustang top down...that's Ingo Family fun!
The weekend was a whirl wind of family, fun, and food. I didn't eat like I was fighting like a girl that's for sure. But when your brother only comes to Chi-town once every year or so you can be a little naughty.
What an awesome Memorial Day weekend to be alive!
Tuesday is for getting back to fighting like a girl in lipstick and heels...always heels!
