When the cat is away, the mice will play

Mindy, my BFF for life, got a whole two weeks with her Fiance gone to Italy.

Sad for her... great for me!!!

So we found some seriously awesome ways to entertain ourselves while I had her for these short few weeks:

• We went to an adorable chick flick
• we did mud masks
• we had a sleep over
• we made dinner and ate chocolate
• we talked and laughed our heads off
• we went on scooter rides
• we played at the worlds best toy store, Blickinstaffs (in Riverwoods) for "cough"... two hours.
• we took my niece on walks
• watched Justin Bieber music videos
• AND experienced the famous "Mentos and Coke" phenomenon for our first time.

*watch VERY closely to what happens to me right when i drop the Mentos in...

I got a powerful Diet Coke shot straight to the face.
