What is there to say about me? I love The City! I moved here when I was in my early twenties and had the time of my life here. I moved away in the late 90's, but missed this crazy town like a fat girl misses cake (I am a fat girl, and I do miss cake!) So, it took me a while (now that I am a responsible adult) to get back up here. I love this place. I love that Chicago is a dog friendly city... I have Frenchies... and yes they are adorable, and yes, I will be writing about them a lot! I really appreciate ChicagoNow for letting me write about my life. I am pretty boring, but I promise now that you are reading this, I will do my best not to be!
