  • t minus five days before we head out from san francisco to chicago...   i have been looking forward to this trip since we booked the tickets back in july, i think.  ed and i need this time away from home to relax and rejuvenate so that when we come back to the bay area, we will appreciate what we have.  i realized that i need to do this more often than as of late.  it just seems like we let the day-to-day grind get to us that we forget to take some time for ourselves.  ed has a few things planned for us to do.  i really want to check out the frank lloyd wright houses, take a trip down the chicago river, take in the "magnificent mile" for shopping, check out the sears tower, the water tower, wrigley field.... as much as humanly possible to fit into a few days.   the saturday that we get there, i think we might check out grant park for a bit and then after i put shortie down for the night, ed and i are planning to step out somewhere to meet up with some of his buddies that went to purdue with him.  it'll be like old times before we were pregnant with shortie.  just the two of us having a good time together.  heehee.  sunday, i think a lot of his family is coming down from all over the midwest to see us.  i have a sneaky suspicion that it's really to see shortie.  they haven't seen her since march, 2004 when we headed back to indianapolis for ed's lola's funeral.  the rest of the days, i'm not sure what ed has planned out but it should be fun.  god, i cannot tell you all how excited i am to go.  i come home everyday from work and tell ed how excited i am that we're going to chicago.  hmm, i just had a thought.  what if i build up all these expectations of chicago and then when i go, i'm totally let down?  maybe i'll just say in my head over and over again that it will suck rocks and then when it doesn't, i'll be pleasantly surprised.  lol.  a friend of mine told me that one time and it really worked!  we're such dorks but i don't want to build chicago up so much that i feel let down.  we'll see.  i don't think i'll be disappointed but just to be safe, i'm going to say to myself now, "wow, this trip to chicago is really going to suck."

  • ed's filipino?

    i doubt your trip here is going to suck! you've got tons to do... haha!

  • yeah.  he is filipino from the midwest - indianapolis to be exact. 

    i know it's not going to suck silly boy, but i have to psych myself out to think that it is so it won't be anything else but awesome!!!!  see how my funny logic works?  LOL....
