So I'm looking back and damn June 5th was awhile ago. And man there have been some craziness going on. So to start it off I ended up going out with BA and Cahill on that Thursday (8th) to Jakes and then crashing at Dave's place. When I got up to leave Friday my car wouldn't start. Ended up having to get it towed, and was thus without a car till Wed the 14th. It turned out to be my ignition coil. So that weekend I ended up staying in town Friday and then riding with Dave into the city to meet Barbara at
Eileen's party. Where we ended up walking around Old Town's Art festival, and then stopping for some lunch. The party was great and I got to see Brian who was in town.
Then Sunday we went out to Ravinia to see Elvis Costello play, some slight rain on us but nothing much. The day was totally fun and it wasn't as crowded as I remembered the last time I was there.
Monday Barbara and I just hung out and watch some TV nothing exciting, and Tuesday I took the train into the city and meet Dave Julie and Dan for
some bleacher action Cubs viewing. After the ride back I took one for the team and went back to town with Dan and Julie and then hopped a cab in Mundelien where BA and I had some drinks.
Sat around all day Wed waiting for my car and finally got it then stuck around for some baseball viewing. Thursday I drove back to my dad's to apply for some jobs online and get cleaned up and stuff. After doing all my Computer crap, I headed out to Barbara's place, where we made dinner and chatted it up.
Friday I was in charge of getting the keg for
Dave's T-shirt party, so I headed back into Mundelien while Barbara attended a work function, of dinner and bowling. I couldn't believe a keg with all the deposits and stuff ran $150, that's steep. Enjoyed the party it was warm at first but a blast.
Saturday rose up early and headed back to Oak Park to meet Barbara, who was out shopping. We then went to Carnival for an early dinner around 5pm as we were headed out to Northern Island for a Jewel, Rob Thomas show. Had great 7th row seats and despite some slight rain the shows both kicked some major ass. Although the Jewel set was a little short. We ended up getting back around midnight and crashing.
Sunday was father's day so Barbara and I went out to lunch with her parents and sister at Wildfire, and man what a great meal. Then after that we drove out to Wayne to BBQ with my Dad, and I needed to catch up on some prep work cause I had two interviews Monday. She ended up going
horse back riding while I did that stuff. Then we had some shish kabobs, and strawberry pie. Then we headed back to Oak Park.
Monday I took the El into my interviews which both went well and will hopefully produce something. One was at a job placement agency that I had used in the past. It was hot walking around the city all dressed up but I managed, and got back around 4:30pm. We ended up making some dinner and talked, and watch some TV.
Then Tuesday I drove back out to Wayne, where on my way I got a flat tire just as I got off I355. Well no biggie right? Of course my lug wrench that comes with my car is rusted and won't fit the lugs. So I waited for a wrench and finally got the tire changed out. The valve had broke. Stopped at Sears and got a new wrench and then headed back to Wayne just to run into road construction. Finally mad it back though.
So future stuff, lets see Thursday I'm meeting the other helpers for Intonation fest in the city at a bar, Friday night is DinnerClub and Saturday is my day to help out at Intonation. Then some down time till the 4th party which is on the 1st. Sweet that it, hope everyone is having a fun summer so far.
