Monday, April 11th, 2011

I had a busy day at work today... nonstop from 9 until 8 tonight.  The last week has been longer days than usual now that my boss is on vacation to India for 2 weeks.  I'm starting at 8 tomorrow just to try and accommodate people.  That's all I will say about that.

This past weekend was a good one at least.  The weather here in Palatine was a balmy 85, and we were able to enjoy the outdoors for a while.  We had a nice walk, and got to enjoy some Ben & Jerry's ice cream.  It really hit the spot on a hot day.  It makes me glad that we're having ice cream instead of cake at the wedding. 

Saturday night we went out for a nice meal at Tuscany, a somewhat fancy Italian restaurant in Wheeling.  It was fun to get dressed up and go out on a nice date.  I ordered some pasta with sea scallops (they were the biggest scallops I'd ever seen), and Elizabeth had some kind of fancy ravioli with sauteed pears and sun dried tomatoes... I'm not sure how to describe it, but she says that it tasted like Christmas. 

I'm looking forward to see how the Bulls do in the playoffs.  It's fun now that they are finally considered a contender again for the first time since Jordan & company.  The radio stations around here are really eating it up anyways.  It's a little hard to tell if they will actually be the favorites to win it all, or if that's just the spin that the local media puts on the team.  Too bad that we never made it to a game this year, but at least I've seen Rose play a couple of games.  Let's go Bulls!!
