Some Chicago Fun

I've spent the past two days hanging around downtown Chicago. I am tired, haha! Yesterday I ventured over there with my friend Melanie to get lunch and just hang around. You can see all the photos I took with my phone on my Twitpic. Mel and I ended up eating sandwiches at L'Appetito. Very delicious. :) On the way we watched this street performer. I saw a guy making a video of him. It'd be nice to find it on YouTube or something.

EDIT// I found a couple videos of him here and here. They aren't from the same day, but it shows his act.

I ended up traveling there today with Dan and a few of our friends for Jen's birthday. We walked all the way down Michigan Avenue to eat lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. It was mine and Dan's first time going there and it was ahhhhhmazing. I had the four cheese pasta with chicken. Afterward we walked down Navy Pier and just hung around the lake for awhile. It has definitely been an eventful weekend and I'm glad I got to spend all that time down there before we move this weekend.

I had a couple of sales today while I was gone. :)

Injuries and Stress

Getting ready to go to work in a few hours. I had work yesterday, but called off because I hurt my foot pretty bad on Tuesday night. I can't even walk on it, but my work doesn't allow for you to call off without a doctor's note. So, I guess I'll just go in and let them decide what should happen. I will probably mess it up more just being at work, but what else am I suppose to do?

Before I hurt my foot on Tuesday, Nicole and I ventured into downtown Chicago for the day. We came into Chicago through the Ogilvie Transportation Center. I'm used to coming in through Union Station, so it was a bit different. We walked down to Michigan Ave. until we got to Millennium Park. From there we went and walked around Lake Michigan and then eventually wandered over to Navy Pier. After Navy Pier, we walked back to Michigan Ave. and walked the other way. While we were walking, we saw a chess party:



Before we got on the train to go home, we made a stop at the bathrooms and I saw this sign on the bathroom stalls:



Apparently they are dangerous.
Nicole took a bunch of pictures on her camera that I am waiting for her to upload so I can post some of them to my blog.

We got home around 8:30 and then I went grocery shopping with Dan, that's when I hurt my foot. I just bent it the wrong way in the store and now it's in excruciating pain. I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow.

Also, I haven't been keeping an update of what I've been selling in my store! Here it goes.
