Ok- I haven’t had a chance to watch “gossip girl” but sure seems like everyone loves it! And since it’s such a hit, i have to say I am pretty interested in meeting one of the main characters leighton meester who plays “blair waldorf” on the show this Friday night when she performs live for her chicago fans at the underground!!

A new Chicago dog – named on Twitter!


December 28th, 2009

My mom got a puppy for xmas & I took a pic of it asking friends on twitter what to name him- not only was I shocked to see how many times the pic got around & opened- but couldn’t believe all the suggestions we got- and how good they were!  Anyway, here is a silly home video of my mom and I laughing & lounging around after xmas going through your suggested dog names.. and we picked one! Enjoy- and thank you!
Oh, since sharing this on my blog… thought I would tie it into something relevant to it so here are the top 10 breeds Chicagoans love!

2. German Shepherd Dog
3. Yorkshire Terrier
4. Boxer
5. Bulldog
6. Golden Retriever
7. Rottweiler
8. Dachshund
9. Boston Terriers

Photographer David Anthony Happy Holiday Video


December 23rd, 2009

Thank you all for the wonderful cheery happy holiday cards and wishes! Amongst the kind notes was also one from a chicago photographer friend david Anthony who also attached a video he randomly made “to not forget people who are not so fortunate.. The old, the sick, the homeless, our soldiers in the middle east,…” and I found it interesting.. so thought I would share it with you! (with his permission of course)
It made me think, seems like so many people have kept the tough economy and rough times in mind in chicago this season quite nicely..  I mean, plenty of attention, concern & actual work toward helping others has been a major part of this holiday season it seems (click here to see my latest shelter effort)… all while keeping a certain positive and humble energy in the air… has been a real pleasure to see.. and I really appreciate that about our community… so thank you all… and have a very wonderful holiday.. and an excellent new year!
