Not Much

I don't have much to say I guess. I worked Thursday, Friday and Saturday and blissfully was cut on Sunday. Thursday was slow and boring. Friday I worked at Frankie's and enjoyed the live music etc. Saturday was the Halloween party. I dressed up like Minnie Mouse. LOL. It was horrible though. As if it isn't already a horror trying to get through that crowd. Imagine with huge costumes and even more people than usual. I was so crabby and complainy at the end of the night. I'm still getting over being sick last week and I was dead on my feet. But I didn't like who I was at all. I was so relieved to be cut on Sunday that I had to honestly ask myself why I don't just quit now. But two or three more weekends and another $1000 in my pocket is pretty hard to walk away from, no matter how miserable I am. So no decision has been made.

The schedule isn't up for the week yet, but I didn't get called to work tomorrow. So I am heading into the city instead. I think I might hit the field museum. And maybe the aquarium. I wandered up to Navy Pier the other day for an hour or so. Trying to see some of this city while I am here.

I'll start the day out with Mass though. Holy Day of Obligation for those Catholics reading this. Can't say you didn't know now. ;-)

Well, I gotta hit the hay so I am rested up for tomorrow's venture.

Field Museum is cool.
Shed's Aquarium is also cool, but gets crowded very quickly with busloads of kids...

While you're seeing the city, you should also check out my favorite Chicago eatery: Ed Debevic's. It's a bit of a greasy spoon, but the atmosphere is the best. In fact, you could bring your sister and the kiddies, too. They'd probably love it. Have fun on your day off!!:)

Oh I've hit Ed's. I can't begin to imagine taking the kids there. NO way. LOL.

You know, I may hit the museums another day. It's pretty beautiful out and I don't think there are many of these days left. A museum is just a museum. Inside and crowded. I'll report later. I'm on my way out the door.

Holy Day of Obligation...I am trying to go to the weekly day of obligation at this point I can't imagine adding another one to it! :)

I know I have turned into a really bad Catholic. In fact I go to a non-demoninational church now. Probably had something to do with the Newman Cetner! :)

You really do some good work when you allow yourself to consume more of your page. These last couple entries have been enthralling. Whether I care about the subject of your writings or not, your style is very captivating. They're that much more engaging knowing you and being able to relate back to the person I know.
Excellente !
