Let's Go to the GHETTO!

This weekend Mike came to good ole Downers Grove. I love not having to pack or drive 2 hours there and 2 hours back!

Friday we went to Gioradonos from some yummy yum famous stuffed pizza. Our waitress was freak'n crazy...the only way to describe her was black and boudaous! She brought our salads out right away and we ate them like it was our job (mind you it's pretty late since Mike was stuck in traffic and we were straving). Just as I slide my bowl to the edge of the table, she grabs it and says "oh for me?..thanks". A little strange right. Then the time was passing and no pizza to be had. We were sitting close to the kitchen, so everytime she came out we looked to see if it was ours....with sad puppy dog faces on. We quitely discussed how I thought she didn't put our order in. Then there it was in all it's glory...our pizza. The waitress sets it down and says "here...were friends again, right?"....then continues to says "I bet you thought I forgot to put your pizza in huh?"....yea neither of us knew what to say we just put smiles and then laughed. Maybe that was a "had to be there" story....but honestly it was funny, and our pizza was scrumpous.

Saturday we shopped all day. From checking out some Abercrombie pants at OakBrook for Mike to getting me some Easy-Mac at Walmart....we seriously went everywhere. That probably had to do with me being on a mission to find a black north face fleece...I must have just missed all the sales....BASTARDS! Oh don't forget the stop at the Sprint Store where I was ready to kill someone. When I switched from Nextel to Sprint, it was suppost to be considered an upgrade with no disconnection fee...LIARS....for over a week now I've been working with them to waive my $250 fuck'n dollar fee. I guess the shady bastard (Ken DeSantos) who sold my phone to me was a Nextel "partner" not Nextel "nextel" so that's why I received the fee. Somehow Sprint had no idea that there was such thing or a difference...so yea....they're working on it. I'm glad that they are taking the blame for ignorance but it's seriously stressing me out and taking up a fuck-load of my time. FUCK YOU KEN DESANTOS!!!

Now that that is out of my system. Saturday night was a rock'n good time at the Cadallic Ranch. We were meeting Keri and Robyn (some of my old sorority sisters) and some of there friends there for karaoke. We walk in and it was like walking into the wild west. From 10 gallon hats to Wrangler butts...never seen before so close to Chi-town! Oh and there was some 2-step'n going on. I totally thought we were in the wrong place since this is not somewhere that Keri and Robyn would be hanging out. Finally we figured out the karaoke was in the resturant bar side...phew. Thank goodness since I didn't my 2-step'n boots on. I had so much fun since it's been a while since I have drank and been on real bar scene plus with some of my girls. I was glad Mike really liked the girls. For the most part everyone sang good, but Keri and I did have to bust out the "trap door" button once. Everyone sang but me. I just didn't consume enough liquid courage...haha. There's always next time.

So now today I'm super tired, since Mike and I are old folks now and usually don't stay up super late like we did last night. Today was road trip to the ghetto day and laundary day. First, Mike and I printed out directions to my next rotation at Rush Presbyterian St. Lukes Medical Center. Of course it's super close to downtown in the Chicago city limits (ghetto enough for me). I just don't drive in the city...can you blame me? It's craziness!!! It was a beautiful day so we jumped in the car....me behind the wheel...AHHHHhhh....opened the sun-roof and turned up some ghetto rap music as we drove to the city (we just wanted to fit in...haha j/k). I thought before my next rotation started I should road-trip and find it..oh and maybe once drive to the city...haha. It was successful...phew. I bet Mandi's glad that I did that one without her... seeings what happened last time...hehe. Today was a proud day for me...I'm all grown up now. Just wait for when I have to get up at 4am to sit in rush-hour traffic and ass hole drivers. Let alone trying to find my way in Rush...there's like a millon buildings and they're gi-normous! Plus...my first parking garage experience...oh goodie. Anyway, we got back in one piece.....did some laundary and relaxed. I didn't get anything done since Mike left like I wanted to, but that's no surprise.
