NEW Chicago Coffee Shop: Backlot Coffee

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We lose Foxtrot, but we gain Backlot. The coffee is SOOOO good. I’m a latte girl, or coffee with milk. Seldom do I drink coffee black (shut up, I DO drink black coffee so I don’t want to hear you say I’m not a true coffee drinker — mind your business) BUT this coffee is so tasty black, in a latte, or in cold brew form. The new location is in Lincoln Square on Montrose and Western — please roll through next time your in the mood for tasty coffee (which I hope is all the time).

Book: The Secret History by Donna Tart

I am afraid for my emotional well-being when I finally finish (the audiobook is 22 hours long… it’s a journey). I think I have a crush on every character in the book so far… no, I’m not okay. Thanks for asking.

Song: Love Me Anyway by Chappell Roan

I am not kidding when I say this is the only song I’ve been listening to the last three days. It’s old Chappell (from 2020), but it’s new to me. And it hits me where it hurts. It’s giving teenage girl vibes in the best way. There’s nothing this woman can’t do.

Meme: Olives

Never gets old.
