A few of us girls at work have made multiple plans for when the days start actually feeling like spring. Jaime and I have a nice relaxing afternoon planned after she started talking about some of the cafes and stores we could go to some afternoon. She told me about this really cute little candy shop called Ethel’s, where they make the chocolate in-house. This sparked my interest- I am a big fan of chocolate. I have a sweet tooth that never stops. But today we found out that Mars Inc. (who owns the various locations) is closing all of the Ethel’s Chicago spots by the end of this month. Now, that leaves us with two options. Wait until later and make a trip out to Vegas to visit an Ethel’s (tempting, but slightly inconvenient) or fit a trip in for sweets in the city by the end of April. It took us all of five minutes to work a trip into our schedules. We think we’re going to manage to squeeze it in sometime before a game in the 
Cards/Cubs series in a couple of weeks. Maybe not an ideal time or weather conditions, but we work with what we’ve got. I don’t want to miss out on this place! It looks yummy…
Stupid economy…
