The 8 times I went before my membership expired, this kicked my ass.  Never been so sweaty in my life.  It was hotter than Hades in there. But someday when I am rich and famous I will do this again because it was pretty amazing.

Day 5.  I am not used to blogging this much!

Ok, this is a weird one unless you have been to this Dillards.  Not sure why or how, but it is one of my favorite places to shop and I can find something I need (want) there every time I am there!  When my mom used to come and visit me in Springfield we ALWAYS made time to go there.  I was just there a few weeks ago and I felt like I was home...ok that is dramatic, but seriously.

On to day four of our countdown to moving.  This may not be interesting to anyone else, but very good therapy for me so I remember all the good times I have had in KC!

This place is ridiculous.  A true dive bar near Columbus Park.  Many happy hours were spent here with old co-workers letting off more steam than you can imagine.  Mediocre atmosphere + stiff drinks + Cajun popcorn = a good time.  Yes, you smell like a dive bar when you leave. No, they don't have a website.

Hey everyone- the week has begun and I would be lying if I even acted excited about it! I will get right down to business with day 3 of my countdown...

3. Habashi House

OMG, this place is amazing!  It is one of my all time favorite lunch places.  Its in the City Market just north of downtown and I never leave there spending more than $6.00.  My personal favorite is the faliafal sandwich and the Greek salad.  So good!

Here is their website- they even cater! Wish I knew that!: http://www.habashihouse.com/restaraunt.html

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope you are enjoying the AC as much as I am right now.  Went to our friend's rooftop birthday party yesterday, yes rooftop.  My skin is officially sticky for the first time this year!  Had a blast even if I did sweat for a few hours before the sun went down!  Ok, on to my list....

2. Good JuJu Antique Shop

A friend recently introduced Good JuJu to me and I am SO sad that I am just finding out about this place! They are only open the first weekend of the month (Friday, Sat and Sun) so its a little crazy and definitely first come first serve.  I was dying to buy so many items and probably would have if I knew what we needed in our new place.  From amazing refinished furniture to vintage Frye boots...I fell in love :)

Rob and I are moving to Colorado one month from today!  I'm feeling scared, excited, anxious...the typical feelings with making a major change in your life.  We have found a townhouse to live in just outside of downtown Colorado Springs (we weren't quite ready for suburbia aka taking care of a yard) but definitely needed more space (hint, please come visit we have plenty of room).

There is no doubt in my mind that I will miss Kansas City and Missouri in general and lately I have been finding myself realizing "this will be the last time I go here or do this" for a long time, which makes me sad.  So, for the next 30 days I will make a list of 30 things I will miss about our current life here in KC. No specific order.  Starting today....

1. Baby Cakes Cupcakes
With flavors such as pumpkin, red velvet, lemon, chocolate, pineapple, etc. you can't go wrong.  Not to mention the butter cream icing. My favorite times that included Baby Cakes are celebrating my dad's birthday last year, avoiding  going back to work and stopping by to get a sugar high, and trying all the flavors at the Gilstrap wedding (I usually don't even try the cake because I prefer the wine).

Side note, Rob is currently trying to convince me that Tupac's "Dear Mama" is the song he wants to dance with his mother to on our wedding day.
