Don't have time for a long post today --- girl things need to be done in preparation of the black-tie Chicagoland event tonight. Frank Gruber and Eric Olson are up for the Illinois Technology Association CityLIGHTS Award in recognition of their successful TECH cocktail events in Chicago, Boston, Boulder and DC. Seven-hundred people will be attending the Gala at Union Station; cocktails at 6 and dinner at 7. So much to do: shower, wash and dry hair, a real feat when it is long and curly, like mine. Dress in a favorite outfit, NYD jeans and sweater, pack and get on down to daughter Jessica's place. Why not stay at home, you ask? Staying two miles away is much easier than staying in the burbs.
Tomorrow you will hear who won the CityLIGHTS award; being nominated for it is a huge unexpected honor for Frank and Eric, winning it would be totally remarkable. One more thing: I'm taking both the black lace jacket and the pink silk jacket with me so I can decide at the last minute which one better answers that famous female question: does this make me look fat? The good news here is as bad as the stomach flu was, I have now lost 9.5 pounds as a result. Every cloud has a silver lining. Gotta go, so much to do......
