Shared on Mon, 08/06/2007 - 02:39Well how about this for a twist of fate? My wife has gone out of town with my kids and the Mother-in-law.
On a good note, i get the house all to myself for about 8-10 days, not a bad deal.
But, get this, my wife calls today so i can help get her numbers for a hotel in Chicago, now she is staying in the Wyndham at O'Hare.
That's right, and she will be there till possibly thursday or friday. How ironic is that? I've been talking about the trip all year, and do to other circumstances (ie money
)
I'm not gonna get to go, but she is there. They actually went for a funeral and to visit family, so i'm not that upset i had to stay.
On a good note, i picked up another job to really get a good push on my money things, and my first night was Saturday. I'm barbacking at a local bar.
But Saturday was one of the big outdoor concerts that they have during the summer, so it was pretty good music, Seth James, Chute Nine, and Aaron Watson
(if you like country) and lots of alcohol, none for me, but i still got paid to hear them sing. WOOT!!
Ended up being a really late night/morning, but it was a pretty good time.
Maybe next year i will be making it to the LAN, and hey, my wife can give me directions this time.
Hope everyone has a great time at the LAN and I'm sure the stories will be abundant on the forums, I cant wait to see.
Later
PS...she said they got a pizza tonight from a place fairly close to the hotel and said "Chicago Style Pizza" really is the shit!!
If ya'll have any good suggestions for them while they are in the Windy City Drop me a line so i can make sure they have fun while they are there.
btw...my kids are with her and they are 7 and 3. So make it age appropriate
