Wicked

Chicago 2006 Trip 010
Originally uploaded by mbisaacs.

Went to Chicago with the family to see Wicked. This was my second time seeing the show and I wasn't disappointed! It was a really beautiful day and I forgot how lovely Chicago is when the weather is perfect! There's so much to do and so much to see!

Two regrets of the day:
1.Wish I could've stayed longer and explored more
2.Wish I would've made time to get some Giadonnos pizza!

Two highlights of the day:
1.Revitalized my love for Chicago and made me want to come back and visit tomorrow
2.People watching

Happy weekend to you all. Sage and her beau are in town for a short visit - should be a great time!

Here's to the one's who may fail at times, but at least they tried.

How Pathetic!

Just realized it's been almost a month since my last entry - how sad and inexcusable! I wish I could say that my life has been so incredibly exciting I just haven't had time to write, but alas, that is not the truth - I've simply been lazy! I've been feeling really great with the occasional nausea and constant hunger. Currently I'm 10 weeks along and cannot wait for our 12-week appointment where we'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat! Mitch has been incredible down this new journey of ours. It's strange that he's now very concerned about the simple things, like driving safer, asking if I need a massage, etc. - geez, I should've said I was pregnant years ago! It's the days that we're cuddled up on the couch together watching tv that I look over and think about what an awesome Dad he's going to be! Still surreal that someone is allowing us to be in charge of a tiny infant in 6 months, it's even more surreal that someone will eventually call me "Mom" and mean it! Geez, I'm going to have to pull out the "Because I told you to" and "If I have to tell you one more time..." phrases soon enough I suppose! Happy Monday to all.

Baby On Board!

What a whirlwind we've recently been on! Haven't posted in awhile, only because it's been crazy lately! We recently found out that we are going to be parents! Holy cow, we hardly believe it still! We're thrilled beyond words, but the whole thing seems so surreal! Spent a couple of days letting family and friends in on the big news. Today is the first doctor visit, so I'm crossing my fingers.

What a wonderful journey we have started on - can't wait for it all!

Flipped through channels last night and came across American Inventors. I believe it's produced by the American Idol folks, but not positive. You could just feel the investment that each inventor had put into their product. Each invention was unique in its own right and had to make it through a panel of 4 judges (needed 3 out of 4 votes to move to the next round).

(Don't mind me for a minute while I rant).....
Let's just say that the one judge Doug is a big stupid-meany-head! Doug is cruel for no apparent reason - c'mon, let's talk about having the appropriate approach buddy! From American Idol, it's normal to hate Simon Cowell, but although he may lack tact, at least Cowell has respect! Doug will not gain any respect by the viewers by the way that he treats the inventors! Throughout the show, Doug claimed to be an expert on just about every topic and had a thought and an idea for everything!

(Okay, I'm back, but I can't guarantee I won't go off again about "D")....
It was refreshing to see such creativity and drive from so many. These people have poured their soul into this one idea that they feel is revolutionary and marketable. Whether it is or isn't, is not the point...

Here's to those embracing and living your dreams.

Zoom-A-Long!

I absolutely love the workdays that just zoom right by! I swear just an hour ago it was 7:30 a.m. and I was coming to work; but in fact, that was almost 9 hours ago! Woo-hoo, almost time to hit the road, make my "me-time" drive home, make some dinner and relax. Tonight is Mitch and Becky time - no meetings and no phone calls - hooray! It's monitoring time in our office, so files randomly get chosen, and of course the new girl's (ME!) files got pulled! I suppose we'll now really be able to tell what kind of a job I'm doing! The weather is too nice to be in a bad mood! I want to take all the grumpy customers and shake them and yell "what are you complaining about - YOU got to be outside while I've been stuck in here all day!" - but I don't, I won't, I can't.

Here's to the clouds - thanks for breaking and bringing us the glorious sunshine, even if it's short-lived, it's worth every second.

It's All Good!

Spent Friday at Mom & Dad's taking care of Mom while she recovers from surgery. Mom is feeling better each day and continues to improve. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers. Spent the rest of the weekend going going going! Saturday we met up with friends in Indy and had great company and great food - what a combination! Sunday I went shopping all day and hardly bought a thing - it was nice catching up with friends. Today I'm back to work and waiting for this enormous snow storm they're predicting. It's too early to hope for a work closing announcement for tomorrow. I don't think it's ever happened in the history of this company, but a woman's gotta have dreams!

Here's to those who live in California - take me with you!
