More good times tonight. It's 1am (for all those of you who are apparently keeping track of my nightlife, a-HEM) and I just got home from the city. Ahh, the life of a socialite....
I had a lovely breakfast out with my folks, after unintentionally sleeping in (so needed it!), and then spent the morning teaching my 76 year old father how to set up and use his very first iPod, a tiny silver Shuffle which I bought him for Christmas, and giving my mom a tour of Facebook. They both were quick studies. Then I stood in line for a while at the Verizon store only to discover that I can't upgrade my phone for another 8 days, and then headed towards the tall part of the state (we have the world's tallest building, here, you know. Spires so don't count). I spent the whole afternoon with Claudia - we went to lunch (Lalo's, for those of you familiar. Yum), and then to Target (one with the cart escalators! Those crack me up) and then for coffee. I knit, she tolerated it well. We chatted. We looked for husbands in the Reader, but did not find any. We then met up with my cousins (not my genetic cousins, but the daughters of my "aunt" and "uncle" who live in NC) and a couple of their friends for dinner and drinks. Good company, good beer, good food, Northside night life. You can't beat it.
It's almost a shame I have to go back to my real life in two days. But, they'd probably notice I was missing at work....
(PS, Peng - don't forget you have to pick me up at the airport!)

oh boy...sadly we cannot proclaim to have the world's tallest buildings any longer. Yes, the Sears Tower was NOT trumped by some stupid spire atop the Petronas Towers, but we were surpassed by Taipei 101, which was surpassed by Burj Dubai. The Burj is expected to stand at nearly 3000 ft tall. Yes, that's twice as tall as the Sears.
Our skyline still rocks.
I'm so glad you are having a good time. Seems like EVERYONE is having a great first few days of 2009. I totally don't believe that your dad is 76. I thought he was the exact same age as my father....
Sounds like you're having a great time! Glad you're enjoying every minute!
I even remembered to grab the sticky note from my computer when I went in to see my therapy patients yesterday.
