Faster than a speeding bullet

You know what’s so sad? When your friends are all away in NYC at the Fringe Festival, and your email is switched and you’re not getting any emails all day in your email box, which is your favorite thing to check throughout the day.

I’m very lonely!

Had a great weekend, it was quiet and I had NOTHING that I had to do. It’s been awhile since I’ve had NOTHING that I had to do and I gotta say…. I miss it. I love having NOTHING to do and it was quite relaxing.

Saturday we went and watched the planes at a fancy high rise in the Gold Coast. Less watching planes, more eating sammitches and brownies. Then we took off to a surprise party where oddly, not many people cared about the surprise. We saw the birthday boy coming and yelled at everyone and they all just turned around and looked at us like we were weird. Then when he came in everyone kinda looked at him and went back to what they were doing. Very odd. But great cake with great frosting.

Sunday, now Sunday…Sunday was the best.

I woke up around 10:30, refreshed and excited about the day. 78 degrees and beautiful. Just beautiful. I put on my headphones and got started on cleaning our place; poor John had to listen to me singing Wicked from the headphones. I whipped that up in about an hour and had to take off. John was working and needed some alone time anyway, so the Hixx ventured out on her own.

Now, I love being with John and would 99% of the time rather have him with me than not with me. But the Hixx alone is something to behold. I’m fast and expedient, dodging in and out of tourists like a bat outta hell. I got no ties and no one to worry about. I cruised down to Millennium Park, took a quick peek at the newly uncovered bean, walked along the lakefront to Navy Pier and watched the end of the air show, cruised over to Ogden Slip for some pre-movie relaxing, then on to the movie theater to see Red Eye, which I liked and cruised home to meet my baby for a kiss.

I was like a freaking gazelle.
