2 More Days

I only have to work 2 more days until my 3 day weekend. These two days can't go fast enough. I think they should go pretty fast because today I close and for some reason the day goes fast when I close and tomorrow we have to a party of 40 kids and a party of 150 kids. These kinds of parties always make the day go by quickly.

Adam is coming home tonight. He has had a pretty rough week at work, so I think he will enjoy a day at home alone tomorrow to just chill. Hopefully Charlie doesn't drive him too crazy.

Charlie is doing great. This weekend will be a test for him because it is the first time we will leave him home by himself. Adam and I are trying to figure out what we are going to do with Charlie when we head to Indiana next month. We will be gone for three nights. There are a bunch of pet sitting services in Chicago, but they are really expensive. I think he will be ok by himself, but we need to find someone to clean out his litter box and play with him a little bit each day. Hopefully I will be able to convince Adam's brother to do it. We have been debated taking Charlie with us, but I am pretty sure we won't enjoy the 2 hour car ride or my parents two dogs. We shall see.

Friday Adam and I get to go to another Cubs game. Build-A-Bear Workshop sponsors two games a year and my boss gave me two tickets for this game. It is supposed to be a nice day, so I am sure Adam and I will have a blast.

Saturday morning we head to Indiana. Adam has to work on Saturday so I am going to run some errands, see my brother's new house, do some laundry, visit some friends and hang out with my parents.

Sunday morning Adam and I are having breakfast with our friends Joel and Terri. Then Adam has to work again while I have a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law. After Adam gets off work we will head back to Chicago. I am looking forward to going home for a few days. I haven't been home since Mother's Day.

Today is day 4 of 7 days of working in a row. Adam will be home on Wednesday night. Friday we get to go to Build-A-Bear day at Wrigley Field and Saturday we are headed to Indiana because I am having a shower for my future sister-in-law on Sunday. I am totally looking forward to my 3 day weekend.

Dinner with an Old Friend

Last night Adam and I had dinner with an old friend. My former roommate Joel was in town to meet with a client and we were able to meet him for dinner before he headed back to Indiana. It was great. We went to Lou Malnati's and ate some pizza and just caught up on everything that was going on. I miss seeing Joel and his wife Terri. Luckily I will be home quite a bit in August, so hopefully we will get to see them a few times.

Summer is Busy

Summer is here.....I think. The weather has been really weird. Is it summer.....is it not summer. Here is a rundown of what has been going on with my life.

• It finally felt like we were getting our summer traffic at Navy Pier yesterday. We were busy most of the day and I was beat when I got home. The stupid Red Line decided to run super slow and it took FOREVER to get home.
• Last Thursday Adam and I went to see the Cubs beat Milwaukee with my brother, his best man Jeff, his friend Tim and Tim's girlfriend Natalie. We had a great time and it was actually a really good game.
• Adam and I were both off on July 3rd. We spent most of the day watching Lost and just hanging out. It was a much needed day of relaxation. In the evening we hung out with our friends Joe and Jen.
• I had to work for a little while on July 4th. Adam and I spent the rest of the day watching Lost and hanging out with Charlie. We had no desire the brave the crowds and head downtown for fireworks. We had enough entertainment watching Charlie look at the window and try to figure out where all the loud noises were coming from.
• Today I have to go in to work for a few hours. Adam is going to do all of our laundry while I am working, then we are headed to Old Orchard Mall in Skokie. This is my favorite mall in the area. Build-A-Bear needs to put a store there. It is an awesome outdoor mall. I have to get a gift for my future sister-in-laws Personal Shower. Her Bachelorlette Party is this weekend here in Chicago.
• CJ and Jen's wedding is quickly approaching. Adam and I are putting together a slide show to play in the church before the wedding starts. I am working on the pictures and Adam and trying to figure out what songs to play. It should be pretty cool.
• Adam and I are falling in love with Charlie more and more everyday. This cat is awesome and has such a great personality.
• My mind is on vacation planning. I am saving some vacation days for October. Adam and I will probably take a road trip out to Colorado again.

That is all for now. :-)
