I’m going to bake cookies tonight. I’d give you the recipe, except that it’s taken me years to perfect it and I’m not about to hand out that sort of blood, sweat and toil in a measly xanga post . . .**

I started packing for my big trip to Chicago last night and realized that I may be one of the few people on earth who starts packing days (or even months) ahead of time. This is my way of getting excited. And yes, I already have a suitcase started for Italy. But I can only take one suitcase! I have to start now or else I would be so overwhelmed in August that I wouldn’t have the time to maximize such minimal packing space. The point is, I’m excited to be heading up to Chicago for the weekend. Can’t wait to see all the lovers and friends I’ve been missing since school got out!

**I actually just found the recipe online sooooo you could probably find it too if you made the effort. 🙂
