i had to fill this in. these are fun and i have not participated to much so thought i would just fill it in for you all to peek at. mostly i'm pretty private so this is a rare glimpse.
make no mistake, i'll be reading yours.......

Hmmm, intrigued about your unusual talent.

Everyone will have to go here to see mine:

(sneaky way to get you to read the blog, eh?) hee hee

Btw, I, too, will have two lobsters. And I'll tell them to hold the side dishes. Who needs potatoes when you can eat lobster?

U TOP!

went to middle school orientation this morning...so much to learn! spent half a fortune on agenda book, PE clothes, locks for locker, book covers and school shirt. I also already paid for a year book since they had an "early bird special". ha!

Got some limo quotes, just so I can get a general idea, since I want to surprise the kids with a stretch limo to and from the airport. Doesn't cost as much as I thought...$300 round trip, with tip included, but we always pay a little extra to the driver in cash when they say that!

Karen and family just left after a fun evening of pizza, euchre and LRC. Mark and I didn't do too well at euchre but he did really good at LRC. Tomorrow we're doing Brookfield Zoo and then shopping at Woodfield Mall.

Good morning everyone - happy Sunday!

Had a great day with Karen and family.

Started out with breakfast at our house. Then we headed over to the zoo. Mid-afternoon we went over to Woodfield Mall for a little bit of shopping and a visit to the DVC store. Then dinner at Bahama Breeze.

We ended the evening back at Karen & Mike's hotel so the kids could swim while the adults played LRC.

Today we'll be picking them up after we go to Mass. The plan is to go out to breakfast, then head downtown to see some sights including the Field Museum and Navy Pier.

Have a great day everyone!

Just got home from Chicago. Love your city Mary!!! My girlfriends and I flew in just a few minutes before the big storms hit around 6 or so on thursday nigth. We actually sat on the runway in atlanta for 2 hours before they cleared us saying weather was bad. After we got in all the the flights from ATL were cancelled. Had some great food, good shopping, and saturday the weather was awesome.

wdwluvrs - hope you are feeling better.

 

[WDWLVR]

Mike - hope you are feeling better soon!

Daisy - glad you had a great time.

We just finished up a wonderful DIS meet with the Ohio family (you can either call it a post-cruise DIS meet from our December 04 cruise or a pre-cruise DIS meet for this cruise).

Today was a quick tour of Downtown Chicago, a visit to the Field Museum, a visit to Navy Pier and then some quick shopping on Michigan Ave. Most of all we got to spend some time with good friends we made right here on the cruise meets boards.

 

[dreamcometrue]

8 months to go!! And look, my countdown is already in the 7th month!!!

 

[daisy112878]

Oh my gosh Michigan Ave. is amazing!!! Thank goodness we went shopping on friday morning b/c we walked over there on saturday and it was a mad house on michigan ave. It was like herds of cattle walking down the sidewalk.

The next 2 weeks should be busy for us. Adam just put his 2 week notice in at work. He's going back to the consulting world. Changing jobs is never fun through with insurance, finishing up at the old job, and getting the hang of the new one. Don't worry though he's already informed them that we have a disney world vacation in december and a cruise in april.

Here's a picture from this weekend. Not the best quality but it was the end of a wonderful day.

Woohoo - a UTOP with the ohio family!

PDFG and all who need it!

 

[ohiominnie]

Hmmm.....Interesting that in that picture, the kids are by Mary and Mark. It looks like they are THEIR kids!

They do miss you guys already!

We had a great great time. Good food, good fun, great friends!!!

Anyone who would chauffer us around downtown Chicago is a wonderful friend in my book!!! Now we're back home and in the last 10 minutes exactly ONE car has gone down my street. Ahhhhhhh.
