Chicago...
A work friend of mine was showing me pics of her trip to Chicago with her hubby last week. Chicago looks fun! The architecture is gorgeous. (Bet you didn't know I'm an architecture whore, did you?)
There's so much to do and see. A Zoo, the beach, the Navy Pier, boat tours on Lake Michigan, ghost tours of old buildings, Wrigley F1eld, talk shows being filmed (not my first choice, but cool). And tons of the buildings have long histories and are named after the folks that built them. I really dig that stuff.
Six told me all abou their trip with Mr. Six last year and I loved it, but now I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't gone. And as the consumate traveler, I MUST go.
I've never really been drawn to tour in the US, but Chicago is a must see before I die destination now.
I love visiting huge cities.
Now for the corny stuff of the day. I usually delete this stuff before I read it, but this one caught my eye. You've probably seen it a million times, but I laughed my ass off this morning. Its like reading my journal backwards...
When women have had TOO much to drink:
1. I have absolutely no idea where my purse is.
2. I believe that dancing with my arms overhead and wiggling my butt while
yelling "WOO-HOO!" is truly the sexiest dance move around.
3. I've suddenly decided I want to kick someone's ass and honestly believe I
could do it too.
4. In my last trip to "pee" I realize I now look more like a homeless hooker than the goddess I was just four hours ago.
5 . I drop my 3:00 a.m. submarine on the floor (which I'm eating even
though I'm not the least bit hungry), pick it up and carry on eating it.
6. I start crying and telling everyone I see that I love them sooooo much.
7. I get extremely excited and jump up and down every time a new song plays
because "Oh my God! I love this song!"
8. I've found a deeper/spiritual side to the geek sitting next to me.
9. The man I'm flirting with used to be my 5th grade teacher.
10. The urge to take off articles of clothing, stand on a table and sing or
dance becomes strangely overwhelming.
11. My eyes just don't seem to want to stay open on their own so I keep
them half closed and think it looks exotically sexy.
12. I've suddenly taken up smoking and become really good at it.
13. I yell at the bartender, who (I think) cheated me by giving me just
lemonade, but that's just because I can no longer taste the gin.
14. I think I'm in bed, but my pillow feels strangely like the kitchen
floor.
15. I start every conversation with a booming, "DON'T take this the WRONG WAY
but..."
16. I fail to notice that the toilet lid's down when I sit on it.
17. My hugs begin to resemble wrestling take-down moves.
18. I'm tired so I just sit on the floor (wherever I happen to be
standing) and take a quick nap.
19. I begin leaving the buttons open on my button fly pants to cut down
on the time I'm in the bathroom away from my drink.
20. I take my shoes off because I believe it's their fault that I'm having
problems walking straight.
