First Post!

Wednesday, June 16th was the first official day of summer for me. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and my "work" got cancelled, so I walked to the lake. And it was super calm. And super blue. And super nice all around. I bought a magazine and water--despite having about $6 to my name at the time--and just sat by the lake, listened to other people's conversations, and read about how awesome Salma Hayek's life is right now. Seriously, if you haven't read about her marriage to a fashion god and her beautiful little Mexican/French daughter, go look it up.

And now it's humid and sticky out but kind of chilly and itunes shuffle is being good to me, so I thought I'd humor miss cait's request that we start a blog. So blogosphere (although there will be two readers for maybe forever), you are going to get the life and times of cait and alex. In our respective places. In our respective voices. Because what better time to start something new than a lovely summer night in Chicago? Right.
