I'm leaving Chicago today, sadly. I absolutely love it here, even through the rain and wind that were so nice to join me on my stay (and ironically they are leaving the same day as me, as it's now beautiful outside, of course). It's been a nice combination of relaxing and sightseeing. Over the weekend we had brunch at Anna's regular spot with her friends, unpacked and put together some more stuff for her and her sister's new apartment (which I love to do, especially after my exposure to HGTV), and headed out to some restaurants and bars in her neighborhood and over in Wicker Park. On a side note, I hate that every time I hear Wicker Park I think of Josh Hartnett because of that movie he did. Which I didn't even see. Anyways, speaking of movies, we saw one that I've wanted to see since I saw the preview months ago - Young At Heart, about an elderly singing group. A word of warning for anyone who is going to see it - bring many, many tissues. I started crying 20 minutes in and could have kept going the whole way through if I had been alone and not in a public movie theater. It was really cute and had hilarious at times, but also extremely heart breaking. Old people are adorable. Especially when singing Staying Alive.
Anna and her sister have been such wonderful hosts with one of the most comfortable couches ever (seriously!). I'm already planning my trip back, hopefully soon, as I'd like to return without the rain and wind next time. But until then, I'm heading on to Omaha on an all day drive through Iowa which should be....interesting.
