I'm pleased to have won the Dorothy Every Town Smurf Award For Excellence in Female Stuff

I leave for Chicago in the morning!  

Ask me if I have anything ready to go. 

I do not.

I'm trying to finish three photoshoots before I leave, I have two loads of laundry to do, I have to pack, I have to get my camera bag ready, I have to get a rental because after spending 3k on my car in the last month, I know have a bearing going bad, I have to shower and blow dry my hair, I have to wrangle my eyebrows, shave my legs, I have to make myself muffins so I have breakfast every day, I have to figure out where to eat in Chicago....I'm overwhelmed. 

BUT.

I am immensely looking forward to spending time in my luxurious digs at The Palmer House. 

And I don't know if I'm excited for these classes. I'm hoping to learn SOMETHING over the next week, but I think I would have benefitted more from this 7 years ago. 

I guess...here's to networking.
