Yeah, I know, Theo. On our way in I was looking at the Sears tower and stuff and sighed and said, "I wish I had some time to spend in Chicago proper." And now I do!
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Yes, I would also reccomend the Art Institute, of which I got to see less than a quarter of and spent hours there, too.
The Aquarium is also super-fantastic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hijinks! THat'll make a good story. Enjoy your day in Chicago, Liese.
I'm very pleased with how my pancakes came out this morning, excet for the part where having the electric griddle and the dishwasher on at the same time tripped a breaker. But now I know. Hec's "add a lot of butter to the batter" waffle tip is also good for pancakes, btw.
I'll be Xmas shopping today (actually, birthday shopping for my niece who turns 12 (!) next week, but I'll be doing it at the Christmas Market downtown) with my mom. I have an hour, hour and half to finish getting ready, whcih includes moving all the clean but not yet folded laundry out of the living room and otherwise attempting to conceal the extent of my slovenliness...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Virtual headpats to Chloe. Is the problem with her back legs that the muscles are getting weaker, or is it a tendon/ligament/joint problem?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor doggy, Steph. There was a guy on Fresh Air with a book about caring for your elderly dog (I'm pretty sure it was that specific) who you might want to check out?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The vet says it's her muscles. We can't tell, being non-vets, and he's really good, so we're going with that. She doesn't seem to have pain, but her legs are just so weak.

Oh, yeah. I'll go look on their Web site for that. Thanks!

Aw, sad doggy legs.
Jesse, those tots were like Ultimate Drunk Food (even though I wasn't even tipsy.) So NOM.
Mmm, my house is still clean, I don't have to cook (still) today, and I have a job to prep for tomorrow. Darn -- I have to spend the day looking at cool potential lesson plans, and then curling up in bed and FINALLY having a moment to read Barb's book.
TRAGIC.
ita, I hope the rest of your ER visit when smoothly.

not your mom's socks.
ear scritches to the doggy.
We are home, burning playlists and blasting xmas music. So many things on my list(s) today. Cabana boy cleaned the gutters though, which is wonderful.
Congratulations Erin!!
