J and I had fun for Valentines's day. We met after work and went to a nice Italian place downtown for dinner called La Strada. Then, we went and saw a play called "Radio Golf" by August Wilson. All in all not bad. We had fun. This is about the most exciting thing we've done in the past couple of months. Mostly, we've been pretty quiet. Wow, ( Read more... )

For all my Fantsay friends out there: Has anyone seen Eragon yet? We were going to see it this weekend, but someone told us that it was bad. I wanted to get a second opinion. If anyone has seen it and can comment, I'd appreciate it. I really liked the book, so it would be sad if the movie wasn't any good. THanks

Wow, has this week been nuts. We spent Friday through Monday on the South Side at J's grandparents. His parents and brother got in Friday afternoon for Christmas. Then, on Tuesday J worked and I spent the morning with my parents. After J go off work, we all went to dinner and spent the evening together. Wednesday J and his dad went to the ( Read more... )

We will probably not be home 'till Monday nigh/Tuesday morning. Then, I will be going to the Field Museum with my 'rents who are coming in for Tuesday to see King Tut before it leaves. On Wednesday, H and ( Read more... )

Last night was my last class. I turned in my last paper of the semester. Now, three weeks of vacation. Woo hoo!!!! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy school and am glad that I went back, but I could use a break. Gotta love the holidays.

Wow, I'm so busy with school and work. I suppose I should be happy that it looks like my temp job will be over this week since that will give me more time to do all of my school work with the end of the semester crunch. I have 2 weeks left in the semester and a presentation, 8 page paper and a take home final due in that time. I have no idea how ( Read more... )

Sunday was fun. My cousin came to Chicago about a month ago, and we finally got a chance to get together. It was really nice to see her. She's a freshman in college, so she's younger. We went to Heaven on Seven for dinner and just hung out. It was a good time.

Wow. All I can say is wow. My boys did it (as expected), but in less time than I expected. Awesome! The whole series was cool. So congrats to my boys. World Series Champoin St. Louis Cardinals. That sounds good. (Sorry to most of my friends who don't care about baseball, no more entries 'till May 07, promise).

Okay. I've been thinking about getting a new workout video so that I could vary my routine. Anyone know a good 30-40min workout I can buy? Preferably cardio since my other one is a Pilate's video. Thanks. You're the best.

Wow, what a game 7. It was tense, but whenever the Cardinals NEEDED to win a game, they seem to come through. World Series, here we come!!!! Too bad we don't have any players who would take a toy tiger and knot its tail to show how harmless the tigers are this time around. Kidding. (FYI: Dizzy Dean, the star pitcher in the 1934 WS did that.) ( Read more... )
