Well I made it all the way to Chicago and now have fingertips covered in paint and a nice little buzz going from the vapors 
The trip up went very well after the cats settled down and stopped meowing and panting from nervousness. Little things eventually got settled in and squeezed both their fat asses into one carrier to sleep the trip away. The g/f did a little bit of driving but still has a bit o' learnin to do to save my transmission on my poor lil car. She grinds 'em til she finds 'em but is a good sport about it all 
I also managed to stop in and say hi to both my grandmas who live in the same town my parents both grew up in. Was good to see them and I'm going to have to make more of an effort to get out that way and say hi now that I have the freedom to do so. I know they both loved seeing me and it was good to just chat with them a bit more. They also had a chance to meet the g/f and both greatly approve of her Always a big big plus.
Right now though the big project is painting the walls of my apartment. After living with white walls for the past 10 years I decided to paint my rooms and give my life a bit more color. Plus I want the place to feel like it's mine just a touch more and this is what I thought would be a simple way. Thought because painting above your freaking head for an hour causes some definite pain... note to self, buy a ladder :-| So, now I'm literally watching paint dry and eating a hot dog... oh how times have changed.
I love and miss everyone, and I promise to post pics once I get the chance
