I am scheduled to donate platelets on 8/8 and would like to bring you with me to also make a donation. They need whole blood and platelets. Do you know your blood type? That may determine what you donate.

Nothing is set in concrete so if you really don’t want to go with me, that’s fine. Just think about the mitzvah you would be doing by saving a life (no guilt here). I feel so fortunate and blessed to have 3 healthy children and not everyone is as fortunate as I am.

Let me know ASAP please. The appointments are in the morning so you would have the whole day free.

(I said I would go)

I’ll pick you up at 7:30. I’m so glad you are doing this with me. You can’t take aspirin 3 days prior and you need to drink lots (not alcohol!) before so your veins are nice and plump. They have told me it’s good to eat protein before so if you want to come the night before I’ll cook us steaks!

Backstory: My parents were engaged through their senior year of college, and got married the June right after graduation. I was born the following January, and turned out to be quite the partier.

So there is this calculator that determines when you were conceived.  Jacqui was conceived on 4-9-84, Justine was conceived
12-10-85 and Craig was conceived 10-7-89.  Wow Jac I was really drinking in April thank God you are normal!!!!!!!!

Finally, it’s Friday and Dave went to NY state for a Harley rendezvous, so me and my pal Mikki are gonna have a few drinks. I’d like to invite Johnny Depp but I think he’s unavailable!

Just a reminder on how ahead of my time I am…
I was watching Letterman last night and Anne Hathaway was on, and she was talking about how Kate Hudson taught her about ‘diet margaritas’. You mix tequila, grand mariner, a little soda, and you queeze in a few lime slices. How long have I been drinking that?!?! For like ever!!

in college one year, when we had Secret Angels, everybody was getting little gifts and I got weird things like EMPTY liquor bottles. I got the Alcoholic Angel.

Backstory: My family’s own version of The Grown Ass Woman’s Club is coming to visit me in Chicago.

So are you ready?  Do you have your medications all in line??  We are leaving around 8am and once we get there we will do the Michigan Avenue thing. Dont know about dinner plans for that night. You are going to be with us Friday night right?  All I know for sure is that Jenni wants a picture in front of Oprah studio’s.
Is that going to be possible?  I’d also like to go back to Milleniun park to see that mirrored structure and then Deanna wants to go to Navy Pier. What about those passes for the subway?  If you are going to get them we will pay you back. Any lines on any tickets for anything.  Are you going to take your Mom out alone? I hope so! We will call you when we get there.
I cant wait. We are bringing LOTS of liquor.  Lots of love.  Cant wait to see you!!!!!!!
