It's my Mother's Birthday and to celebrate the entire family put their lives at risk and jumped in a big tube of aluminum to come visit Chicago.
Yesterday was the first full day of enjoying the city and we walked quite a few miles, but TODAY is my Mother's Birthday.
If you're around a phone today and want to give her a shout out or a text out call me on my cell phone at:

The battery is all charged up and waiting. Hurry the phone number will only be posted for a short time!
While I'm playing Cruise Director Julie McCoy today, what are you doing?

The British Are Coming! The British Are Coming
Oh wait, that's not right it should be "The Family is Coming! The Family is Coming!"
That's right The Family is coming for a visit. I've lived in Chicago for going on 7 years and this is the first time that they've visited. Now before you say anything bad, there is a reason.
When I used to live in Atlanta my parents would stop and visit at least twice a year - once on their way to Florida and then on the way home. But since I moved to the Midwest it's a lot more difficult to swing by and say "Hi" especially in the winter! I've been home plenty of times to see The Family but this is the first time they've been to my new digs.
The Roommate and I are very excited (he had the opportunity to meet my family a few years ago when we went home to PA to make a movie) about seeing The Family - including my sister! If you knew my Sister the way I knew my Sister you'd understand that.
I've got all sorts of things planned for their visit:
- A Tour of Downtown that will include the Sears Tower' Sky-Deck and a Double Decker Tour of the City
- A trip to Ravinia on Saturday night for an outdoor concert
- A trip "up north" to Tempel Farms to see the Lipizzans
- A trip to the shores of Lake Michigan to view the Full Moon Jam on Sunday night (check out the link for photos from when I went last, my Mom well get off on that)
- A huge Italian dinner cooked by the Roommate.
I'm sure we'll also do a lot of shopping, eating, drinking and playing games (I'm sure we'll play LCR and my parents will win big time).
They're flying in Thursday afternoon and I've already arranged a car to bring us back into the city. Since this is their first trip to Chicago I didn't want the first impression to be marred by my driving and screaming and yelling!
So what are you doing this weekend?
