Nails

I think while I was out shopping for some "adult" clothes (that's what Troy calls it), I decided to grow out my nails. They are looking pretty good I think. They will be perfect for weekly manicures in Thailand.

Flowers

Leah (the girl I am staying with) had her birthday this week. Well her soon to be hubby is in Korea right now (yes he is another roadie), so he sent her flowers. Unfortunately she went to her parents for the weekend and they arrived 20 min after she left. So she hasn't even seen them yet....but I trimmed them, watered them, feed them and have them looking all nice for when she does get home on Sunday night. Its nice having flowers around you though, even if for someone else.
This other picture is from the man playing the steel drum at Bahama Breeze (a restaurant) we went to last night. He wasn't good but I haven't ever seen a old white man play a steel drum before.

Home Sweet Home

I get asked all the time....So where do you live? Since our "homebase" is in Des Plaines people think we have a house there. Well we don't we have one very packed storage unit. Today I broke the key to it and had to get copies, but while I was there I thought I would show you a picture of our 10x15 home sweet home! Yep I went from a 5 bedroom house to this....

Online friend

I have met a wonderful girl online named Kyle. We have been "talking" online for months now, she lives in the Chicagoland area also. Well when I flew in from China she was flying out to Italy, when I flew back from Las Vegas she was flying back from Italy. So tonight we were able to met for the first time in real life!

John C. Kluczynski Federal Building

I have ran out of room in my Passport. So yesterday I made an appointment at the Passport Office in the Federal Building in downtown Chicago. It was down pouring rain while I was driving there :( Once I got there they gave me a number and made me wait in line even though I had made an appointment......NEVER making an appointment again, next time just going whenever I want to. Tomorrow I pick up my passport with the added pages, then I am ready to leave again.

This is the Sears Tower....yep it was raining that much!
You can't take pictures inside-I tried. So here is one from outside of the building.

The O.G.

Another day of running errands. First I had my yearly girl check up....don't worry that is NOT the picture of the day LOL. Also ran around doing other boring things. When I got home Leah and I decided to go get some Olive Garden....Troy hates it so I thought this was a good opportunity to go. Leah Loved her food so much she jumped with joy! (of course that could have been the wine also)

Sex and Chocolate

Today Leah and I went to see Sex and The City the Movie!!!! Oh my God it was wonderful! If you haven't seen it you must go out now and do so (assuming you liked the tv show). Its a great chick-flick! Afterwards we had dinner at a local brewery and then came back home and lit up the fire pit in the back yard and had Champaign and S'mores....wonderful combo I say!
