OMG!!! I'm going to see Wicked in TWO days!!!!111!!eleventy!!11!

[leighblack]

I'm so very, very happy to be getting out of here for a couple days. This week has sucked.

Updated schedule for this weekend, more written out for my own benefit than anything else:
Fri:
- Leave around 9am
- Pick cyberwuzzle up from O'Hare around 7pm
- Go to Hala Kahiki around 9pm

Sat:
- Shedd Aquarium in the morning (or wandering around downtown, whatever we decide)
- Wicked at 2pm
- Dinner at La Cantina afterwards
- Evening activity?? We'll see how we feel. Maybe power lounging.

Sun:
- Take cyberwuzzle to airport around 7:30
- Leave around 10am
- Take long way home so we can go to the Jelly Belly Factory and my favorite WI attraction, the Mars Cheese Castle
- Hopefully get home in time to see Crossing Jordan season finale

cyberwuzzle, I assume you'll be okay if we just wait for you at arrivals, rather than trying to find a place to park. We'll be in a dark gray Explorer. You can always call me when you get in so we can find each other.

Definitely.

I get in at 7:19...give me some time to get off the plane, make it outside, ect. I'm not checking any bags, so I won't have to visit baggage claim. Maybe plan to be there around 7:45? I'll turn my cell phone as soon as I'm out of the plane.

See ya tomorrow!

Yeah, that's kind of what I was planning. See you tomorrow!!

Oh, should be dressing up for the play? Trying to figure out what to pack....

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yes, wear something nice. Leave the ball gown at home though. =) Skirt/pants and a nice shirt will do fine.

I'll be wearing my black w/ green stripes capris and a black dress shirt with black sandals, for a comparison.

One comment about driving into WS from IL, then I have to go into Edit Hell. Have you noticed all the porn shops right there? My Goddess, it's porn shop, cheese chalet, porn shop, cheese chalet, porn shop, cheese chalet for miles and miles.

It's surreal.

It's like that driving into IN too. Well, maybe there's less cheese.

*seethes in jealousy*

I sung Wicked songs at my voice lesson today, just because I could. It was fun.

*continues to do the jealous seething thing*

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Sorry. You'll get to see it. Someday.

[amazonqueenkate.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm just jealous, because I am spending my weekend writing lesson plans.

Do have fun, though. Lots of it.

Unless someone with you is really into fish, the Field Museum right across the street is much cooler. I was just at the aquarium a few weeks ago and it wasn't as neat as I remembered, and I like aquariums. Although you'll be able to get though all of it much quicker than Field.

See you soon!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

You think so? I was looking at that too. I would rather look at fish, myself, but I can be overruled. I'll just bring info for both and we can decide. Thanks!

Yay! I'll see you tomorrow over a table full of fruity drinks.

Why don't you call me when you get in and we'll figure out a plan. Can you figure out how to get there from the web site? I shouldn't be far from where you are at.

[xiolablux.livejournal.com]

That was supposed to read "it shouldn't be far" :)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Okay, will call. We should get in around 4pm or so. I have the directions and everything already. (You should see my giant stack of directions that I'm bringing along) It's only a few miles away, so I think we'll find it.

Uh, cyberwuzzle, the vehicle we're in will be a black Explorer. I just don't think Leigh's ever seen my car when it wasn't covered with a thick layer of grime.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Honestly? It's black??
