What an amazing Monday I had yesterday! I was City Biz, not Country Biz where I live. And I really like City Biz.
Since I was at my Mom’s house over the weekend, there was no grocery shopping, no meal planning of any sort. But I knew I had some stuff at work to get for breakfast because I had both lunch and dinner out yesterday.

Jenn and I took our favorite street performer out to lunch yesterday. His name is Andrew, he’s 27 and he’s just so sweet. Jenn and I have already told him we would be his Chicago Mom’s because his parents live downstate. You can check out his facebook page here. All I know is that he needs a record contract, we literally race to him every time we hear his voice on our lunch walks.
Since I had no idea what I was going to eat for dinner since I was the guest, even though the Dearborn has one of my favorite burgers in Chicago, I went with the heirloom salad with salmon. So good! I couldn’t get Jenn to even try it. 😛
My friends at The Hotel Monaco set me up in a one bedroom suite. What the what?! It was gorgeous.
The view from my window seat. Um, there were four window seats.
I may have taken a 15 minute shower this morning. 😀
I had a sweet note from the hotel, a bottle of champagne, sparkling water and cheese and fruit – how nice!
And then it was time to meet up with my new friend Erica and her husband Dan for dinner. Oh my gosh – such a wonderful couple. I am so happy our paths crossed because I think we have the start of a really great business relationship.
More details to follow, but I have a great feeling about it.
She made a copycat Portillo’s salad and it was so good.
It was nice not to be a slave to the train schedule. I made it back to my hotel a little after 9. Was able to relax for a couple hours and I slept in until 7:15 this morning – nice! What is it about hotel pillows that are so amazing?!
View at night.
I’ve had a relaxing morning sipping on coffee, listening to the news in the background and sitting in one of the window seats writing this blog. The view isn’t too shabby!
Happy Tuesday friends. Make it a great day! Love, Biz
I never heard of Andrew until today, after reading your blog. His voice is absolutely amazing (and pretty easy on the eyes). You really should contact Jennifer Hudson via social media about him. She just might be able to help him get a recording contract. Love reading your blog … I grew up in Chicago and worked downtown for over 20 years, many years ago.
He’s so good!!
He’s so talented!!
Gorgeous view, love the room too!! We spent a weekend in downtown Grand Rapids a couple of weeks ago, I was ready to sell my house and move there. I still would 😉
Oh my what an amazing room and view. It is even nicer that you had it free and lots of yummy goodies to boot. I love how you always show Andrew in your stories. He does have an amazing voice!
Glad you had a good night in your gorgeous room! Fabulous dahlingg! Xoxo
