Its rained twice today and once I was in a movie theatre and the other time I was in my apartment.  I could go out and get soaking wet, part of me wants to do it and part of me says why is it worth it.  This weekend has been productive and yet lazy all at one time.  I went out and took pictures and found that the places I went to had much better ( Read more... )

I have had the stupidest bad luck this week.  Don't get me wrong I am grateful that the only things that have gone wrong have been stupid but it is so frustrating.  I just want to cuddle up with someone and forget about it.

Aside from worrying about A, I had a great dinner out with allaland .  We went to Morton's Steakhouse and had wonderful food and just ( Read more... )

I'm a bouncing ball at work.  What shift?  Any shift?  Yeah because I don't care.  :-P  At least no one has thought it a brilliant idea to put me on 4 -12 ( Read more... )

This weekend was wicker park fest.  I had a great time.  opticsdoug came in and we experimented with restaurants: mexican place on main street Lisle, Momotaro in Lombard, and Himalayan (northern Indian) in Bloomingdale.  We hit both days of the festival and did a lot of stage hopping back and forth.  Some highlights for me were: Rocktapussy , Backyard Tire ( Read more... )

I have been hungry and overly affected by alcohol this evening.  I have re-potted the succulents that I picked up on Monday in downtown Chicago.  Two trips driving into Chicago is a record for me :-)  Oh well at least hopefully both of them were worth it.  I am not sure if the succulents will survive but I can try.  At least it isn't raining like ( Read more... )

I went to Lisle's Eyes to the Skies this weekend.  And it was a good time.  It reminded me of when we used to go to Webster Groves fairs when I was growing up.  Sitting on the hill and watching the happenings going on.  Having to drive there certainly made things more of a hassle, which is why we stopped going to the Webster fair when we left our ( Read more... )

Since I posted here I have cleaned for my mom to show up and visit.  She kindly did all my laundry, aided in my pregnant best friend throwing up her lunch for the first time in MONTHS, and wandered around aimlessly with us and generally had a good time.  After she left I went to Boston.  I had some good time with friends, got to see a couple of ( Read more... )

I go to the gym to alleviate my aches and pains but some just can't be worked out that way.  My hands are having problems again.  Part of me hopes it is because I am just tired but I really don't know why some days / weeks they decide to just ache uncontrollably.  I will have to sleep in a special position tonight and that is bothersome too.  I ( Read more... )

I am sure there are other people more excited than me right now but I don't care.  I am excited.  While I have to work tonight and am very sad that I am not with opticsdoug  right now at the Halestorm show, I will see him tomorrow.  I am hightailing it from work to Ft. Wayne and going to have a good weekend :-)

I found out that Halestorm, the band I am ( Read more... )
