Chicago Here We Come!!

This week has been insane in a we-have-accomplished-nothing-and-are-living-for-The-Office-tonight kind of way. Today is Carrie's last day of work, which is entirely tragic. She will be missed greatly! She is sad too, but not too much seeing as how she has a kick-ass job in FL waiting for her! Congrats Carrie!! We have all gone out to eat for lunch twice this week, which is unprecedented. Today at lunch Jack proved to be extremely excitable, and since Sammy was with us, the amount of ragging on the girls reached a new height. The latter half of lunch was spent trying to convince me that Volvo's are trash and I should just suck it up and get a BMW. I liked that Jack lives in a world where he pays me enough to buy a car like that. Buying a Volvo will already put us in the food stamps line. Maybe that is because we will also be buying David a new truck at the same time, but whatever. The point is that Jack is excited about Chicago. We are both extremely excited about the food, which is not the point of going, but always ends up being the main attraction. By the way, Jack is my oh-so-goofy boss, for those of you who don't know. I am actually more excited about The Office tonight, because in order to get to Chicago I have to pack. Grrr. Tonight Pam will confess her undying love for Jim fireside in front of all the people who already know. I love it!! It BETTER HAPPEN NBC!!! In honor of two of our fav things -- The Office and Natalie Dee -- we are making Weiner Wings for dinner. To learn about Weiner Wings, go HERE. We are thinking of doing a video response, so look for that at some point. Then the rest of tonight will be spent packing. I have to be at Jack's house at some ungodly hour on Saturday since we will be in the city by noon. We will be right by the lake every day at the convention center and various museums and restaurants until Wednesday night. The trip's official title is... DUH DUH DUHHHHH... LAS VEGAS II: CHICAGO!!! Love it. Thanks to Jennie for that one. I have left all the dinner reservations up to Jack, who never disappoints, and I have been looking up directions to more important things. Like the Chicago Keihls store. AKA, Mecca. Things I have bought for the trip include: tiny toothpaste, of which I already have a bunch but I love to shop in the tiny travel section; Life Savers; gum; a toothbrush holder; oil absorbing pads for my greasy face; a new pair of sunglasses; and Dramamine for the plane. All necessary, all piss David off as he is waiting for me to shop for them. Double worth it:) JK! So Chicago here I come!!! I am excited. Are you VERY excited? Yes, I am very excited. Are you EXTREMELY excited?!?! long glance... No, just very? That's cool. I am very excited!

Here are some pics of Carrie's last day on the job.... :(
