Bonafide hustler making my name

'Cuz all I wanna do is BULLETED and a LIST and take your money!

My trip to Chicago and St.Louis. Instant replay!

The Highlights:
- Staying in an awesome hotel in Chicago. Seriously. Look up the Aloft hotels. They are totally hipster and trendy. I heard a Mika song playing in the elevator.

- My brother getting married. I totally teared up when he said "I do".  I'm such a marshmellow.

- Eating a $35 tuna steak. It was seriously yummy.

- Only buying myself one drink the entire week, even though I got shitfaced twice and drank a boatload of beer.

- Getting drunk at a bar called "Bottles and Throttles" while a band called "Hillbilly Authority" played.  It was a complete fucking blast.

- New sister in law gave me a present of sock monkey slippers, a super cute blue clutch, and a gift certificate to DSW.

- Got a pedicure and now my toes look totally cute. French tips all the way bitches.

The Midtones:

- The convention. Tons of salesmen giving me a headache.

- Missed my dog a lot.

- Drinking at the wedding. I drank two and a half beers and felt nothing but bloated.  It was just enough alcohol to throw me into an existential crisis.

- Ate out a lot and now feel enormously fat.  Even though according to the scale I haven't gained any weight.

- Went to the Arch and the Budweiser brewery. Budweiser was like the mecca for college students, which is sad. Boulevard should be the mecca for college students.

-Traveling with old boring people from work. I'm so glad it was only two days.  Although, in the future, I'm thinking that I'll be even more independent and just do my own thing the entire time.

The Shadows:

- My brother just moved to Houston last week, so his house might be all flooded because of Ike.  Plus he can't start his spiffy new job until FEMA says it is okay to go back to Houston.

- I wore heels that did some serious nerve damage to my feet.  My second toe is completely numb, like it has fallen asleep.  I'm not blaming the shoes, I'm blaming the wedding photos that took for fucking ever.

- No one is ever on MSN anymore. What are you assholes doing?  I know you aren't going out and doing anything.

- A manager from a different department tried to get my people to buy thousands of dollars worth of consumables while I was gone.  I was so proud of my employees because they totally threw up a red flag and called me on my cell to ask for direction.

- A coworker that I'm close to at work hasn't been feeling well and is now going to be out for several weeks. I feel bad b/c I'm totally selfish and all, "Shit, how am I going to know what to do with him gone?", since he is the one person in Leavenworth who knows anything about flexo.
