Maya Angelou's Poem - A Woman Should...
0 comments Posted by Lil Lady at Thursday, September 29, 2011I received this in an email and wanted to share.
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a youth she's content to leave behind.....
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..........
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a feeling of control over her destiny.....
know how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more.....
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it.....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. ....
whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...
Send this to your Women Friends so that they know that they are truly loved and thought of by the friend who sent this to them... and that she/you only wish the best for them and their life...
AND REMEMBER: GOOD FRIENDS ARE LIKE STARS. YOU DON'T ALWAYS SEE THEM, BUT YOU ALWAYS KNOW THEY ARE THERE!

ICE SKATING RINKS

RINK AT WRIGLEY
The only thing colder than the Cubs come September? Ice-skating in the frozen Friendly Confines mid-February.
(Through February 27: Wrigley Field, Addison and Clark. rinkatwrigley.com.)
(Through February 27: Wrigley Field, Addison and Clark. rinkatwrigley.com.)
RINK AT JOHN HANCOCK (article from Chicago Modern Luxury.)
John Hancock Observatory, 875 N. Michigan Ave.,
1.888.875.VIEW, hancockobservatory.com
The ice rink at Millennium Park has its charm, but there's one thing it doesn't have: elevation. On January 1, 2011 the world's highest ice rink—1,000 feet in the air—opened on the top of the John Hancock Observatory. To ensure the ice (made from a synthetic substance called XTRAICE, eliminating the need for Zamboni "time outs") was fit for the anticipated crowds, Tommy Hawk—mascot for the Chicago Blackhawks—gave the rink a test spin, along with the ultimate ice connoisseurs: penguins from Shedd Aquarium. The indoor location offers you the opportunity to skate to your heart’s content, weather be damned. And while you may eventually tire from all of the exercise, the incomparable views of the Mag Mile, Lake Shore Drive, and the city's lakefront skyline will keep you glued to your skates.
Feel free to bring your own blades, or rent a pair for $1. We suggest making reservations online ahead of time—or if you’re feeling spontaneous, on-site tickets may be available.
Daily from 9am-11pm, through March 31. One 25-minute skating session is $5 per person, with John Hancock Observatory admission ($21 for adults, $16 for children).
Hot Chocolate Anyone? Mindy's Hot Chocolate in Chicago

We might as well make the best of the 2011 blizzard! Go sledding, play with the kiddies, make snowmen, just have FUN! After all the play in the cold, get warm!
I am not a fan of chocolate. I have to have a taste for it and when I do I crave dark chocolate or white chocolate. If you want to warm up during this chilly weather, give Mindy's hot chocolate a try. THE BEST! I enjoy the Medium and Mexican hot chocolate. The food and desserts are also amazing! The Shrimp and Grits are great. Give this place a try. Mindy's Hot Chocolate. Hot Chocolate Chicago, 1747 N. Damen Ave.
OPI has partnered with Serena Williams to launch the Grand Slam Collection. This collection is in conjunction with the Australian Open, US Open, Wimbledon, and French Open. There will be two polishes with the start of each tournament.
