Another week after another weekend

ah, time flies. I'm back to the grind after another relaxing weekend. On Sunday, I played video games all day. I feel like it's such a waste of my time, yet, I just can't muster the energy to do anything productive anyway. Well, I did do four loads of laundry and JD did dishes, both of which are major accomplishments. Not because we never do them, but because it's a major improvement when they're not needed to be done! We also went to lunch at this excellent pizza place called Metro Pizza. The crust is super thin and crispy and really there are no edges. also If you order a slice, it comes out slider style. (slider= 6 whitecastle burgers stuck in two rows, like they used to do at the Stratosphere 50's diner, I loved that place)
so, you get 6 squares of pizza. Anyway, it's yummy.
Oh, so Saturday JD and I went to Woodstock, IL. Where they filmed the movie Groundhog day with Bill Murray. that movie rocked! and so did this town! Now I know that the film was filled almost entirely in this square. It's so funny. We ate the diner where the drunks were wanting to go eat, Angelo's. We went to the bowling alley, but didn't go in. Neither of us felt like bowling. All in all the townsquare was cute. And we took photos of all the cuteness. I'll have to post them on my site.
Friday was spent at my local pub. The Innertown pub. We played pool with our good friend, Sean, and chatted. It was a fun night, per the usual.
How was your weekend?

Wicked

Yay, JD and I are going to see the show Wicked tonight. He got me tickets for Chanamas. And our day finally came to go see it! I'm so excited, i've wanted to see this play forever. The last time I saw a play was more than two years ago. (It was The Graduate).
We're going to the Oriental Theater tonight, it's a really nice theater right smack dab in the middle of dowtown Chicago.
I'm really excited. So excited that I'm not even the least bit perturbed that I had a 7 am meeting with a person who forgot about it... I woke up at 6 am! I usually wake up at 8. But it's okay, he's busy and I know that a meeting that early was bound to get jumbled up. I'm not sure why he scheduled it that early, but I guess he was being optamistic. Which is commendable really... =)

Asking co-workers for spare change

I forgot my wallet at home and was found stranded. No food and no ride home. This sucks. Calling my boyfriend for a ride home didn't pan out. He would do it, but he doesn't know how long it will take and how to navigate downtown. I see his point, but I hate him anyway. So, I hate asking people for money. Except my boyfriend, I see no reason why I cant say "hey, buy me a vodka Cran or two" because I know I spend money on him so it works out at the end of the week.
so, i broke down and asked to borrow 1.50. My very cool cooworker gave it to me, but I feel dirty now. I can't wait to go home though and eat. I'm starving!! I've eaten three dougnuts (We're IT we always have doughnuts.)
Ugh, I feel malnutitious. I really want some food. and money. lots and lots of it. piles of it.

Merry New Year!

Well, seeing as we're all back at work today, thought i'd give a little shout-out to the West-coaster, and the Gum Queen.
Speaking of, the Gum Queen and I went to the Bulls game last night, just for fun, a few beers, and to watch them lose by 1 point. Free ticket's in the lower suite with complimentry food and beer, man you can't go wrong with that! We had a good time.

New Years Eve landed us at a house party filled with movers and shakers! We toasted in the new year with some champagne, Rolling Rock, and just a hint of Jagermeister. Fun times.

And 2005, all and all, I would say was a great year. Sadly to leave the fun San Diego people, but excitedly to going the ranks of the Chicago proletariat. All this joined by hooking up with Huangy and changing jobs. Nice.

Hope you had a good New Years Eve and 2005.
Look for my new mystery novel, out in stores later next year,
