So here I am in Chicago sitting in a window seat at the hotel, its very cool! I should get one of these in my house... just kidding!
Jer is off to a meeting with a few guys here and I am just enjoying peace and quiet :) little weird but nice, the sounds of Chicago surround me, watching the taxi drivers fly by like manics is hilarious too! So anyhow its about 8ish and its been interesting, my phone just "stopped" working via text msgs for some damn reason... so I decided to call it in to US SUCKULER... was on hold for prolly 10 mins waiting for a rep, then they tell me that I have to give them a "land line" to contact me back on, so ok I give them the hotel #... duh me the room is not under my name nor Jer's name, its under the guy who booked the tickets. So I am on phone with them, Jer calls... someone is at the door... CHAOS... what happened to the nice quiet time I was having... (just kiddin) I am having it right now in the window:) Anyhow when I went to answer the door it was a tall blonde haired lady with bags, etc (if I were to guess ... aah nevermind think it on your own) I never laughed so hard when I shut the door because the look on her face was like... OH MY GOD! just TOO funny! I am thinking this is why maybe the guy who booked our rooms was "eager" about having his own room at the hotel, too bad for him since this turned into our room.
So ok we drove to Chicago today, got downtown about 5:30ish, parked the truck and found our hotel. Drew, I and Jer decided to take a little walk while waiting for Mark to get into town. We were walking across the "tow bridge" I totally totally biffed it, I didn't see the ledge that 'jumped' out at me and down on all fours I went, my body aches! I am going to have some nasty bruises on my knees and on my stomach area, I hurt my left hand pretty good but it didn't fall off or anything so I'll survive, but what COMPLETE misery and painful experience that was, it was humilating since there was like 30 or more people behind me walking, so yes hurt my pride a little but I got up and kept walking... in pain but I got up.
Hope the boys are doing ok at mom's... Mitchel should get a good nights sleep in before he takes off for the weekend, and hope the other two boys behave for grandma and sleep good tonight too. Miss them lots!! Hi BOYS!!!
So today for the dieting, its been a good day. I have become to the point where all I do is go to the bathroom from all the drinking I have been doing so for Jer think he gets a little annoyed he has to stop more frequently when we travel.
Made a record so far... its 8:30pm and no DP at all today, this is a HUGE accomplishment for me!!!! I had lots of ice tea today as well as water and layed off the coffee as well, but that is yet to come because I am freezing my ass off here at the hotel waiting for Jer and my coat is in the truck.
So tomorrow Jer has meetings I am going to go browsing and do some shopping, brace myself from the tripping of making a complete ass of myself, oh well... was kinda funny but holy shit I am full of aches... my back is killing me now :(

Wonder what got done at house today, Jer informed me that the insulation guy was there today for the attic job and he and Billy got things accomplished last night, so happy to hear progress is being made.

Well best close for now, think I am going to get a heating pad from the front desk... Argh!!!!

For all those lbs lost this week! Way to go girls!!!!!!!! Im jealous I weighed in on Monday now... you are both ahead of me as of my last weigh in.
