HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!
Technically it was yesterday in Australia, but it's today for me. This weekend I am going to make a pavlova, and today I am eating vegemite biscuits and I'm going to have a milo tonight and eat one of my precious Caramello Koalas. Yum.
How do you solve a problem like Maria? It's Maria von Trapp's birthday today, she would have been...

Oh, I'm all about Greece! We should take holiday there. ....RIght after we win our fortune in Vegas.
I'm tired 
Working for nothing is a bitch, my boss is a sleaze, I'm kinda bored, broke, miss my princess, miss my girlfriends, miss my mum. Pooh.
Things are good though! Just having a tired whinge
Most exciting thing to happen this weekend was that my luggage came back. It had apparently been on vacation in San Juan. I don't know where San Juan is,...

EDIT
K. it's a 7:20 show actually, and it's basicly this:
Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this film about an aging boxing trainer named Frank (Eastwood), who reluctantly agrees to take on determined female boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank). Both fighter and mentor have been swayed by damaging bouts with life. Together, they build a mutual foundation of strength and belief.
and the address is: Loews Webster Place 11
1471 W. Webster Ave., Chicago, IL60614
It's on Webster, just off Clybourn, south of Fulerton, north of Armitage.

Me and Daw are going to my holiday work party (for the Spa where I'm an MT). The party lasts from like 7-11, and then my girlfriend Leah, who is supposed to go out to Nacional 27 for a different party, wants to meet up at this club called Soundbar-which is in the River North area on Wells near Chicago? or there abouts. I don't know if you and Paul already have plans for the evening, but you're more than welcome to come with us to the club if you like. Obviously it's Daw's birthday, so ultimately he's got say in where we end up, but it seems like there are a bunch of interesting opportunities to hang tonight if you want. Keep you're cell on. There's also this late night restaurant next to Soundbar (owned by the same people) called L8 (Late), that I've been wanting to check out. My holiday party's going to have snacks and stuff, but I'll probably be hungry later...... whatda think?

I'm just picky about pictures, I guess.
But you crack me up: "I'd ... you know... stalk you and stuff."

Ah Girls Night Out. YEAH!!
See Lady_K's picture journal of the night. Good times. I'd like to state on the record that the note was my idea and that's my handwriting. I am sooooooo mature. It's only because I could pass myself off as the silly Aussie making fun of her new American friends
Some things to note about the night:

I'll be here doing nothing for the holidays (bah hummm bug), but look me up when you get back.

broken watch and a run over glove. that sucks
How great that Chicago has opened her pretty arms and welcomed me so nicely 
Thanks to everyone who is making my move so much easier!
This week has been busy and a bit overwhelming, I crashed and burned last night (pretty poor effort for my second weekend in town, but I'll make up for it tonight)

Aww, too bad!! People were still showing up until after midnight......I don't think we went to bed until 3 or 4ish.
But we have dinners every other week, so once I'm back from winter holidays, there will be many a feast to be had. And tonight is still on

Sorry I missed 'ya Amstaralicious...
UPDATE...
I am homesick but it is fine. I was just having a cry last night because I was all by myself in an apartment for the first time in over a year. I'm used to living with 7 people, then down to just me and him, and this week I'm on my own while he's away.
So Chicago is great, but I still miss...

Nice to finally meet in person!! Do come to dinner tomorrow, I'd hate to think you're sitting at home alone another night!!
ladymaze:
It was nice meeting you! Seeing you tomorrow, too, yes?
Gimme a C, Gimme an H, gimme an I ... yeah you get it. I'm in CHICAGO!
It's awesome to be here, even tho according to the weather channel there will be a high of -1 degrees celsius tomorrow. That's right, laugh it up Aussies... it's not getting above zero tomorrow.
I'm so glad the Kathmandu sale was on before I left - the fleece...

OMG you must be so cold.
It sounds surreal to me,
in australia we have no major inland centres like that.
Or big lakes.

olsen:
Yay, I'm glad you made it!! I hope you slept through most of the flight over!! (Are you shipping all your stuff or what?)
Play we must!! I am leaving Chicago on the 20th.....I'll be back for like 2 days from the 27th(ish) to the 30th......and then I'm down in Chile until Jan 15th. What's your schedule like if you have any yet? Anything you really want to do around town this week?
Haha half of Chicago is overjoyed to have you back!

Not much "gossip," really. Sat. was kind of a random, low-energy day. A bit odd in its laid-back-ness, really, but still enjoyable. Then things got more energetic when we got to the club. I really wish you'd been able to get out with us.
Awwww...
