This past week has been strange. I've been getting off the high of leaving Chicago. It was a wonderful week even though when I returned to work and people asked me what I did, I didn't really have much to say. We just had fun. Oh yes, we went on a double decker bus tour (thanks ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) leeanne_marie), went to the Sears tower, visited Lincoln Park Zoo and other tourist-y things, but mostly we hung out and enjoyed our vacation time. My sister lives in a really fun neighborhood and there are tons of things to see and do -- mostly restaurants and there's a lot of good people watching to do. Between Dave and I we took over 500 photos, so once I get those sorted, I'll share them here.
This week:
-homemade chocolate soymilk + banana smoothies
-Dave started his new job
-saw Prince Caspian (meh!)
-eye twitching that started on Monday but seems to have disappeared after my dentist appointment on Friday
-Dale and Thomas Country Smokehouse Cheddar popcorn
-getting to sleep early...well, earlier
-hot & humid weather (blah!)
-my new t-shirt from kawaii_not
-my new necklace (which i believe is the next to last one on the right) from Crafters for Critters that I wanted to wear everyday this week, but kept forgetting because I still haven't unpacked my luggage
-walking around aimlessly together after work everyday |

It's official!
Dave and I are going to Chicago together the first week of June. It'll be my third visit and his first and I'm so excited to be there for longer than three days. We're staying with my sister in her apartment and we're saving moneys in order to live it up there for a week. Do you have any recommendations? I know I've asked in the past, but perhaps there are awesome things happening the week of May 31-June 7. I mostly want to hang out and do some tourist-y things, but not really be a tourist. I just want to take it all in and not try too hard.
We're going to try and see a Cubs game, but we'll see what actually happens with that. I want to go to Krispy Kreme, make Dave try White Castle, sandwiches at Jimmy John's, drink tea at Argo Tea and probably find a good local place that has a tasty deep dish pizza. There's also this great Chinese place close to my sister's apartment that is so delicious that we'll have to eat there too. We like to eat! There's much planning in the works. So very exciting, oh yes! Totally can't wait.
P.S. Anyone want to drive us to Sonic? That would be awesome!
P.P.S. I have a sad confession to make and that is I like fast food, but I don't like it all of the time, but there are times that I crave it. I certainly didn't eat it everyday growing up. But there are times when I want fries and nothing but fries will do. I have ventured into the world of making my own "fast food" at home and that's pretty great too. I do miss myself some Chik-Fil-A though, so thank god for MorningStar Farms chik'n nuggets! |
