What The World Eats
This post is dedicated to Heather’s post What The World Eats. Since Greg and I aren’t going to be doing any shopping, I decided to take a picture of one of the cupboards. The snack and spice cupboard isn’t all that important so here’s the “main” cupboard.
In this cupboard: pastas, super old ramen noodles, bags of croutons, tea, coffee, mashed potatoes, jiffy mix, pancake mix, canned fruits, veggies, and soup (yea it’s healthier fresh, who cares)
So go on over to Heather’s site to participate!

Over The Weekend
Here it is Thursday, where has the week gone? I take one trip over the weekend and I lose track of my days. Well the mini trip to Chicago was very tiring for us, me, Greg and Caesar. We did so much walking downtown I should have some calves of steel. I’m now suffering from a heat rash around my face and neck, I now know for sure that those areas just can’t stand the heat. The same happened last summer but was much much worse. I didn’t want to be seen in public, that’s how bad it was. My eyes were puffy, my cheeks were red, raised, and um..leaking, so was my neck. I went to different doctors and the one that was successful prescribed a cream and told me to take claritin and zantac max strength together, something about antihistamines working together. So that’s what I’m doing now and I’m trying not to scratch.
Now to the pictures.
- Gigi - we decided to play with her so she wouldn’t be lonely. She wouldn’t stop screaming either so I had to take her out the cage. Caesar got jealous. This was last Thursday I believe.
- Mother’s Garden - some snaps of my mother’s flowers.
- Mt. Baldy - It was foggy and too cool, not a very good beach day.
- Downtown Chicago - Very hot, reason for my heat rash. A good beach day. I kinda want to live there, but I want the suburban life for my future children
. So maybe when we retire?
While I’m on the subject of Chicago, I stumbled upon website. I can’t remember the url, but it had a banner up that linked to the Chicago Babywearing Conference 2008. I thought Ooo I’d love to go to that. I could probably meet some really nice people, exchange contact info blah blah blah. Well only one problem, I have no baby to wear! The only way that I’ll get to go is if I conceive between now and what…September. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! 1. My chickens currently aren’t hatching. 2. We’d be committing some serious financial abuse. Well, maybe I can still go. I’ll just say I’m preparing for the future and deal with the snobby oh she isn’t even carrying a baby why is she here? looks. I know it’ll be a while until the next conference hits Chicago again, maybe I’ll be lucky and catch one in another state a year or two down the line. I so badly want to throw the banner up on my sidebar but I don’t want to look foolish.
I must be going now. I’m up my nose in projects and tasks still. Tata.

Back to the south
We made it back home (our home not our parents’ homes) safely. This drive was also nerve wrecking as well, another ride in the dark. I was so sleepy and was scared to fall asleep. I just can’t fall asleep in cars. We made it back at 3:30am yesterday morning. I want to upload pictures, but I have to tag them first. I don’t let my pictures go untagged online, just can’t do it. I got a lot to do so hopefully by tomorrow I’ll have pictures uploaded and a long post written . I’m going to be working full time (big big accomplishment for me), so I need to put the “pedal to the metal”, in my case “the mouse to the metal”. I almost want to stop my courses at Penn Foster, but I guess it’s good to have a backup. This is just a quick update. Toodles!

Sweet Home Chicago
We made it safely. The drive was nerve wrecking. I’m always uneasy when it comes to road trips because I truly don’t feel safe after our last accident. We left around 5pm after Greg got off of work. It rained on and off. About 40 minutes before we arrived it started pouring and we couldn’t see anything. We had to exit to find a parking lot to “chill” in. We made it after 10. We buried Spunky, I had to get it out the way because I don’t like to drag things out. If I didn’t bury him, it would have worried me until I did. I think I’m going to hammer some bricks on top of the soil to make sure nothing messes with it. My mother is neck and neck with a forest preserve, so there’s all kinds of critters out here. Gigi is doing well. She’s still her loud self. Right now she’s responding to the wild birds outside. I don’t know when I’ll be getting another bird, maybe sometime this week. Thanks so much for the condolences and encouraging words, I appreciate them 
.
My Simba is his bitter self. I know he’s mad that I brought Caesar. As long as Caesar’s around, he doesn’t want to be bothered. He growls and scratches. This morning he greeted me with a rub my head “kitty nudge”. He’s gonna have to get used to Caesar again because they both will be living together again in August. I’m gonna have fun trying to keep them from tearing up the house *sarcasm*.
Well, I gotta go poof up my hair. Greg and I are going to a “real” beach today and tomorrow we’ll walk Caesar downtown on Lake Shore Drive.

Trying.
Working on trying to push down the last post… I have a call in tomorrow. I really hate call ins because I don’t know if I have to work or not until I call in. It’s so inconvenient. The shift is 5-10pm, but I’m calling around 1pm. Normally I’d have to call at 4pm, but I need to know ahead of time. I’m going to get out of it somehow. I’m going “home”. I have a shift Monday which I will have someone work for me. I think that’s my last shift then I’m done with Hollister. That’s what I get for trying to do the “right” thing, working out my two weeks instead of flat out quitting.
I decided to bury Spunky in my mother’s backyard when we go up there tomorrow. I don’t even know if I want to do that because I’ll have to look at it when I come back for the 4th of July. My mother said she’d get me another bird, but I just don’t want one. I know that I’m going to end up getting another since Gigi is alone talking to herself. I’m trying to look on the bright side of things, but I just can’t. I need to keep busy but I can’t even get started. I think I’m going to browse Ebay. Ebay always makes me happy as a buyer, not always as a seller. I can’t afford to keep listing items that won’t sell, so I have listed some items here - clothing for the little ones (children).
