They were fairly calm, though I’m not 100% if they’re simply dazed by being in this position. A few years ago, when Liz would trim Baxter’s nails and go through this whole process… Baxter held a grudge. For a few days afterwards, Baxter would keep her distance and would refuse to come near Liz.
The game goes like this: one player looks through the Slang Dictionary and selects a word. They then tell the other players what the word is, and everyone writes down their own definition on a slip of paper. The person who picked the word writes down the actual, real definition. All the slips are turned in, and the person who chose the word has to read all the definitions out loud.
On Saturday, Tricia was visiting and showing her friend Katarina a bit around downtown Chicago. While the two of them were checking out the Art Institute, Liz and I were looking after Audrey and Sebastian. For the first half of the morning, I was actually out and about doing errands (borrowing Tricia’s car, since mine is currently at the shop due to hail damage).
With the long holiday weekend, Liz and I have been super busy on our own projects. We spent nearly all of Friday and Saturday hard at it – taking the occasional breaks for food. It’s been a lot of head down, music up moments…
Over the weekend, Liz and I headed down to Frankfort to participate in some family photos. A friend of Tricia’s is a photographer, and was going to do some group/family pictures for all of us. What normally is a 45 minute trip ended up taking a little over two hours. Moments after we got into…
For the grand occasion of my Grandma Phoebe’s 100th birthday, the entire Jung family met up in Indianapolis. There was a large banquet hall rented out, and friends from all over flew in to town to pay their respects, and to help celebrate the big day. Prior to the party starting up, we got the…
On a whim, Liz and I decided that we wanted to go to the flea market that takes place at Allstate Arena on Sunday. I thought it was called the “Rosemont Flea Market,” but apparently it’s officially known as Wolff’s Flea Market. It had been a long time since I was at Allstate Arena. Last…
My parents were in town to visit my Auntie Angela and Uncle Leon. The two of them live in Westmont, where they also have a dental practice (that occupies the first floor of their home). My mom was in town to have some work done, and ended up having two root canals. They were only…
Yesterday, Liz went in to Northwestern and had her two top wisdom teeth removed. She’s had the procedure done before, but only for her lowers. The whole morning, given how calm she was and how nervous I was… you’d think I was the one going in for the procedure. Liz preferred to be put under,…
The Seal family has been visiting Chicago, and though we missed them a week or so back… Liz and I were able to catch a dinner with Kevin, Molly and their son Philo. Kevin had a hankering for pizza, so we met up at a Lou Malnati’s near Justin‘s place. There was a bit of…
Liz, on the way to work. As we were walking out the door, I noticed my wife had not one but two slices of bread in her hands. We were running a bit late, and she was having breakfast on the go. For some reason, seeing her double fisting bread made me laugh. And I…
A bunch of folks from work were going to attend the Chicago Street Art show in Pilsen… so a few of us made plans to have dinner beforehand, at Skylark. It had been a long while since I was last here. I think it was back in 2004, during the Pilsen Art Walk. Had fond…
I’m a bit late with this, as it happened last week and I didn’t have a chance to post this until today. Recently at work, Liz got to move from her rather public desk (out in the open, near a conference room) and into her very own office! I was on-hand late in the day…
For Valentine’s day, Liz and I agreed to not get one another gifts. We decided against going out to a restaurant, and planned for a nice, relaxing evening at home together. We’d make dinner, open a bottle of wine, light some candles, and have an intimate dinner in our apartment. The one thing we did…
Since we’re working from home today, Chris chatted with me on IM to ask if I wanted to meet up at Longman & Eagle for lunch. It was a short trek (despite the snow), and so Liz and I bundled up and made our way out around noon. A few smaller side streets had been…
