chic-a-go

i got home earlier today from my latest galavanting. i went to mer's house in the windy city. flew in thursday evening, and left this morning - after i *ALMOST* missed my flight. talk about STRESS!! the airport was PACKED with people. on a random tuesday morning. was there a holiday this weekend that nobody told me about? i was there an hour early... and i was THE LAST person on the plane. LAST. i boarded at least ten minutes after the final boarding call. after SPRINTING from the security checkpoint to the gate.

anyway, the trip was good. we had a good time. we always do. we had a condo-warming party for our favorite new home-owner. she got a lot of cool gifts. we spent the rest of saturday napping and lounging and talking about how there must be a carbon monoxide leak that was causing us to be so lethargic. really, i think we're just lazy. so, pretty much we did not a lot of activity. meridith is one of my favorite people to do hang out with. we always have something to talk about and that makes us fun. because we say so.

on monday, mer took the day off work, and we went to a water park and acted like we were fourteen. we had a splendid time and i am now a delicious pink that will soon be a bodacious bronze. i know you're jealous.

so, it was a pretty sweet weekend. and it makes me excited to live there in december. i hope i have at least a few days off. i'll be doing OB that month, so who knows. time will tell, i suppose. and until then, we'll chat on the phone approximately 7 times a day.
