Five Things

{Chicago skyline with the cool greenish/blue water}

This week was a good one. Each night we finished work at a decent time, put on music, and drank wine while we made dinner. After the Emmy Awards on Sunday, we also decided it was time to finally give Homeland a try and I’m so glad we did – it’s incredible. Last night’s signing was so fun and we capped off the night with some of my closest friends at Sotto. Tonight we’re staying in (ahem – finishing the first season of the aforementioned show) and tomorrow I’m heading down to Orange County for my last Southern California signing (details here). Have a great weekend!

    Hey Emily!! I love your blog so much! And I adored that last interview you gave, really talking about the history of the blog.
    I have a new born blog (it has a couple of month), and I also love photograph, it really makes the difference, and I would love to know what kind of camera do you use (especially the one on the video).
    Best wishes!!
    Agatha.

    If you’re going to talk about Garrett, please call it the Chicago Mix! Isn’t it the best?!? We just moved away from Chicago a few months ago for my husbands job and I feel like my heart is now missing a piece. I love that city!
