hanging in A-town:)

It's been a while since my last post due to a horrible schedule of night working:( but that is behind Patrick and I now (thank god!) am on days for at least the next MONTH!! (YAY) Work has been better than it was a few weeks ago which is nice I needed some time to regroup! Pat has been working at the pot as well and all seems fine there. 

The Jeep has not had another one of its incidents which does not surprise me...my father is looking into calling the company and trying to get a new computer thingy put in the car. I told him if that doesn't work I don't think I can keep it which sucks because I LOVE IT IN THE WINTER, but if it malfunctioned like this in the winter out here I'm not sure the outcomes would be as good. So it is a work in progress.

Peanuts Puppy sitter has come over 3 times to spend some time with the Nut and become acquainted he seems to really like her. Yesterday he proceeded to nip at her hand for 2 hours on and off so I pray she comes back again( He was playing , tail wagging and all but still)! Her first long period of time with him will be our Chicago trip in Sept!!! I could not be more excited so far the we know we want to go to Shedd aquarium, the red sox/white sox game, there is a museum with a harry potter exhibit and a prenatal exhibit( Museum of science and history) so we want to go there.  Obviously we want to hit the popular landmarks like the the sears tower, ,  navy pier, Hershey store, OPRAH!!, bean etc and there were two restaurants featured on "triple d, Diner drive-in and Dives" that we would love to visit!! One is Smoque http://www.smoquebbq.com/ the other is  a burger joint called Kumas corner http://www.kumascorner.com/html/about.html  hopefully they are as good as they appeared! So now that we have some activities on our list of things to do we need a HOTEL! This trip is a small fortune(donations appreciated...lol) so we have been on the look out for affordable places to sleep! We have been looking a little outside of Chicago too but as Pat said... "if your going to Chicago do you really want to be miles outside of the city?" I dunno we found a place running a grand opening special that would total 210 with breakfast for the 3 nights but its almost 30 miles from the city? Hmmm There also is the GO Chicago pass that we are looking into to see if the 100 would be worth it feel free to google it and give your opinions! Well thats all for now! Pats cooking!!! YAY byebye

Love and hugs from WI
