And all. That. Jaaaaaazz!
Yesterday I did my trial run to Naperville to find the bank there. It's about a 10-15 minute shorter drive than to Oak Park, and seems less aggrivating, so let's hope that I don't have to train in Oak Park.
Then I went to lunch with Megan. I'm trying to think back... I don't think I have met an online person since Kris and Elaina and Noelle, back in high school/freshman year of college. And with them, I talked to them on the phone. Like, a lot. Way before I ever met them. Of course, meeting them required plane tickets... lol. But yeah. My lunch with Megan was good. I had fun. We went to Olive Garden and then walked around the mall. Went into the Disney Store, where there are many cute things I want a whole lot, and into Build-A-Bear, where we planned out the outfits for the bears we will make as soon as we have money. Heehee. SO CUTE. So it was a fairly painless internet meeting, if I do say so myself.
Then, last night, my parents and I went to see Chicago. Oh my goodness, I loved it. So, so much. I haven't seen the stage show, so I didn't really know what it was about, or anything about it, really, except that it was a Bob Fosse show. And I saw FOSSE when it came to Assembly Hall, and there had been a handful of dances from Chicago in that show, so that was good. But yeah, really didn't know the plotline or anything. SO GOOD. Everyone in it was wonderful. Richard Gere tap danced! And they all sang, and of course, they all danced. Wonderful. It BETTER win awards. I don't even usually like Catherine Zeta Jones, but she was excellent in this. Really. Lots of love for this film.
And now, it's snowing. Big fat flakes, and snow plows and salt trucks keep going by, and I'm supposed to drive down to Kankakee. Fuuuuuuun. Really. Driving hours in the snow is just a barrel of laughs. Oh well. My mom and I are going to see my godmother and her critters, and I haven't seen them since KayCee was... well, since before she was KayCee. She was just a tiny grey unnamed ball of fluff smaller than my hand, huddling scared in the corner. I'm sure she's grown SO much. I can't wait to see her.
