Setting the Table: Volume 10 is up…and this one is short and sweet because I’m literally at my gate waiting to board.

I’m heading to Chicago for a girls weekend with one of my ride or die friends from my Charlotte days, Sal Gal, and I wrote this one from the gate this morning while Millie FaceTimed me three times from home where she and Yas have declared it an official movie & video games day.

There’s a glimpse at our Chicago itinerary in here… food, neighborhoods, etc., and a list of what I’m reading on the plane including pieces from Meg Josephson shit you should care about Cake Zine Wrong House and more… Ina Garten’s summer playlist, too, which I will be listening to while wandering a city I barely know.

There’s also a teaser for Sunday’s essay, which is the piece I’ve been sitting with for a couple and am finally ready to share.

here’s to the freakin’ weekend!
