Chicago weather is CRAZY today. Really hot (90+) and REALLY windy. And now there are big thunderstorms on the way in, the kind they are calling supercells. Eliza and I went to the diner around the corner for lunch today and I just carried her b/c I didn't want to deal with the stroller in the wind. A good call, I think, as we almost got blown over just the two of us. Eliza thought it was great. She laughed the whole way there. We had a nice lunch and she made friends with the waitress, the manager, and our fellow diners, one of whom is expecting a baby on October 7, two days before Miss E's first birthday! She was pleased to think what she had to look forward to. Eliza is good baby PR that way.
Later we went for a real walk with the stroller to the post office to mail a package. It was insane. A few times we almost went backwards from the strong wind and other times she was almost blown away from me by strong winds from behind. In one of my not so great decisions, I wore a skirt today...yeah, you can imagine how that went. Hee! So there I was trying to drive the stroller with one hand while holding my skirt down with the other. Well done. The post office was not air conditioned, so that was pretty miserable (when is the post office NOT miserable, really?), but Miss E was a good sport. She is definitely her parents' child, though, as she was sweating and her face was bright red by the time we left. Bummer for her.
We are off to the beautiful Berkshires tomorrow for Mac's 10 year reunion. We're also visiting Karen and the gang, so hopefully more fun photo ops. Have a great weekend!
