Quick Update

Thursday (last week): A great day! Fenway arrives after work and we head to a local bar for a couple of drinks and a little food before getting reacquainted with each other.

Friday (last week): An even better day! A lazy morning, followed by lunch with Kansas, a trip to Millennium Park, the Jazz Festival in Grant Park, a walk along the lake up to Navy Pier, a ride on the ferris wheel, a pint of beer, a trolley ride, a train ride, pizza, wine and a movie.

Saturday: Up early for a trip to Milwaukee to see Tosa and Harley. We arrive in time for lunch before heading to Lakefront Brewery for a few pints and a tour, followed by a trip to Miller Park to see the Padres beat the Brewers. Highlight - passing out watching Iron Chef...okay, that may be a lowlight.

Sunday: Brunch with the crew at the Knickerbocker before heading back to Chicago to cook Fenway dinner. Menu: pork tenderloin, green beans, red potatoes, salad and a bottle of wine.

Monday: A sad day. Fenway left town and it's going to be at least another 5 weeks before I get to see him again. Enjoyed our last day together by hanging out at home, even though it was a beautiful day and I felt guilty for not going outside until our trip to the airport. But still a day well spent.

Tuesday: No cavities! My dentist bitched me out for not flossing daily but was impressed by the lack of plaque build-up. Next visit...6 months.

Wednesday: Work, work and more work. Nothing exciting.

Thursday: Lot's more work but also lunch with my boss. Promotion is now official - Oct. 1st - but includes a raise. Yay! I even get new business cards, an expense account and a Costco membership. Sweet!

Friday: Work and more work. Then running around with Cubbie Girl to get last minute supplies for Bachelorette party being held tomorrow. Thanks CG!! You've been a huge help! And once I'm done here I'll be busy pulling everything together. We even had an offer for a male dancer while buying the fun stuff. Of course, it was the guy offering to have his 300 lbs. friend wearing a grass skirt and coconut bra dance for the girls tomorrow, which would have been great, but I still haven't figured out where we'll be yet so I had to decline. Sorry Tosa! I'm sure we'll have other offers once we're out on the town.

So that's the update. Sorry you had to wait so long!
