Why have you not been sewing, Molly?

Most importantly, my bff Stephanie and her bf came to visit us in Chicago! Yay! They drove (15 hours) to see us and we had a week of fun. So much fun, perhaps too much. Hilariously, Stephanie turned up with the exact same Forever 21 dress so we dressed as twinsies to go to the Reddit meetup. Meeting a bunch of strangers from the internet was surprisingly fun. Ladies, it was like 15 guys to each girl, so you should consider attending the next one... hahaha. 

 We also wore our matching children of the world skirts to the pride parade, which was fun.

 We ate out a ton, played Cards against Humanity of course, did all kinds of touristy activities and even drove up to Milwaukee to do the Miller tour. That was both cheesy and fun. I wish I had worn my High Life girl costume, but I didn't even think of it until we got there. Oops.

Point being, I obviously did no sewing that week. Then, the next week it was sooooo HOT. So hot. Like 100 degrees for days on end, and we have no A/C. It was terribly hot in the house, so I was relieved when it was time to go to work, if only to be cool. 

Now, today I am going to Oregon to visit the rents and then my babby brother is going to move to Chicago, so we are driving back in his car. This will be a fun trip!

Also, I spent the last month or two obsessing over the Game of Thrones books. A friend from work recommended them, and Andrew got them for me on the Kindle app, so I simultaneously became obsessed with A Song of Ice and Fire and reading on the ipad. So my sewing seriously got neglected as I blasted through the five 800+ page books. They deserve a separate post at some point.  

I will be gone for the next week and a bit, so have a great mid-July and tell me your vacation plans for the summer!
