So, the only reason I haven't posted is pure laziness! I wanted to post pictures from my trip to Chicago (actually trip to Chicago, not general trip to Illinois), but I didn't feel like getting my camera, uploading pictures, formatting, blah blah blah. But now it's done!
I went into Chicago on the third day I was home to have lunch with Alexis. I ended up coming into the city from a different direction than I'm used to (I came in on my good friend I-90, which is everywhere I go!), so I got a little lost, but eventually made it to where I needed to. We had lunch at a placed called Rosebud, which was pretty tasty - I had rigatoni alla vodka with grilled chicken. Afterwards, I visited Millenium Park for the first time - it opened Summer 2005, and this was only my third visit back since then (and the second visit doesn't really count, funeral and all). It was just what I thought - a giant bean - though I think it might be nicer in the summer, with flowers and fountains and such.
So here's "the bean" (errr, Cloud Gate):
And the gratuitous "MySpace photo," as my sister referred to it, from underneath:
(I'm in there somewhere, but not even I can find me.)
This week has been pretty low-key. I even started cooking again! Bringing lunch to work makes me feel way less guilty, both from a health and a financial point, so I'd like to keep it up as much as possible (besides, I'd rather eat out once a week, and have it be at Parish Cafe, than to eat out every day at ABP).
There's been knitting, of course. And there's something in the works that will most likely make those of you sick of the knitting talk and those of you who want more extraordinarily happy. Now I just have to stop knitting long enough to put it all together.... :-)
