Recap from Suite 1410

The weekend with Sara in town was a lot of fun! We made appetizers on Friday and went out with some of our LaSalle friends. We had a great time but we were too exhausted to go out on Saturday night. On Saturday we went to a restaurant called "Minnies" which they serve everything "mini" style (i.e. cheeseburgers and fries and even the cups) The cheeseburgers reminded me of sliders. It wasn't the best food but we did have some entrainment in the restaurant. This 4 year old was running around the restaurant with his shoes and his socks off b/c he proceeded to take them off and throw them. The entire restaurant was watching and FINALLY the family the mom and her kids left. If that wasn't birth control I dont know what is... It also reminded me of how things changed since I was a little kid. My parents would have spanked me in public but kids now a days get away with everything.

My dad is still recovering from his surgery that he had last Tuesday. The surgery went well but he will be off work for about 5 weeks and going to therapy. He is also still in some pain but I think the pain killers are helping. My mom was with him the first week but since she had to go back to work. He has to go to therapy every day but god has blessed my parents with good family and friends support. So “Beav” has a personal chauffeur to take him to therapy every day (grandparents and friends are helping out). Since my dad has been bored at home I have gotten numerous texts which is great! (Although, he may need to make sure he has the unlimited plan) My mom just taught him how to T-9 so is responses are much faster; it’s nice talking to him more.

So since my recent decision to stay living in Chicago, I found a room mate. We are working on the same project together and are both from Michigan. She is a fun girl and we will be looking for apartments within the next few weeks. We are both traveling all the time, so now we just need to find someone to get our mail!

This week started off pretty good. A little busy but not too crazy. When I landed on Monday Davin left a voicemail (knowing that I am in the air) just to say have a good day. It's the little things that count so I appreciate that on Monday mornings. Then I checked into my hotel this week and I was upgraded to a suite. (I really wanted to sing the Beyonce song at the front desk but I refrained from doing so) I was pretty happy about that b/c I have my own little living room with a couch so it is a little more homey.

Since the daylight savings this weekend my schedule has been messed up and I don’t know why. I go between Central and Eastern time every week, so I don’t know why it is bothering me. Since the time change, the bus drivers will not have more daylight to drive. At least that is what my mom told me when I was little b/c I asked a million “Why” questions:-) I have come to realize at my age that it is to save energy - glad I took that college class that explained it.

Well I better stop writing b/c I have a couple of presentations this week that I need to finish preparing for and I need to watch the LOST videos that I rented:-)
