Of Course I Hear Voices: I Own Parrots

I need out of dodge for a weekend. I really don't even need a weekend...I could settle for just an overnight trip. I want to go to Chicago and do all the things I love up there. We could leave after I get off work on a Saturday and come back Sunday. I want to take pictures of the city. It has been years since I've taken the time to do that...and I am rebuilding my portfolio.  I want to go shopping up at Clark and Belmont I want to get dinner at Penny's Noodle Shop I want to get breakfast or brunch at Toast   I want to go to the Map Room for drinks I want to go to the Sanrio shop at the Shops at Northbridge I think it is a simple request, and it should be filled soon. Okay fine, it is a selfish request, and no one may want to go with me, but I think it would be fun. 

In the 10 years I have lived here, I had never been to a concert at Verizon. I never could find anyone to go to a concert with me. Tonight that changed, and I can tell you: I wish I had more people to go to concerts with...the acoustics there were amazing even if you aren't a Parrothead...Jimmy Buffett's show is amazing and you should go to one at least once holy effing geez on the parking...I couldn't get back to the door I went in and ended up walking for 30 minutes to my car (I knew where it was btw...it was just about 2 miles from the main exit. ) Now I see why you tailgate for concerts: to get a good parking spot. It was great fun, and I am glad my co-worker invited me to tag along. My shoulder and back are going to hate me tomorrow, but I have the whole day off to recover.
