Chicago Litogether 2009

I'm sorry to inform all of you that I will not be attending next weekend... I've been battling in my mind for a week or so whether I should come to Chicago or not... Even though I do have the time off from work and finances are not a problem, this is more of a personal issue.

I've been getting closer and closer to someone from my high school class since my 20 year reunion last summer... After her divorce in December, we've planned a trip to Las Vegas together in April......

Even though I KNOW I can have a great time without anything sexual happening I also know myself and I'm very weak in that area with so many beautiful people attending.. So many intelligent people who are so attractive.

I want to explore my connection with this woman first before I entertain thoughts of anyone else and I just don't want to keep anything a secret from her as she's been totally honest with me.

I doubt I'll keep tabs here on Lit with you wonderful people over the weekend as I know it will be so painful knowing what a great time I am missing.... I've been looking forward to this trip ever since I left Chicago a year ago.... But I've had a few moments of clarity that have made me come to this decision.....

Please have a drink or two for me and certainly exchange a few pats on the tush and kisses for me in my absence... and above all have an awesome time with some of the most incredible people I've met and have yet to meet here on Lit.....

:heart:


JR, I am both happy and sad you wont be in Chicago this year, happy for you maybe finding a good (or bad ;) ) woman and sad that you wont be there joining in the jollity and japes as you did last year, best of luck with you in Vegas and hope to see you again maybe next year...:cool:
 
I'm bringing my Bose docking station to this event. The sound is mahvelous.

It holds iPods - well, most MP3 players, I would think.

Bring your favorite music, we'll feature your playlists.

Take turns and all. MUSIC, baby!

:rose:

LOL well I have about 3GB of music currently on the IPod, which is coming with since it connects to my car stereo [awesome for loooong drives]
 
LOL damn gonna miss the Chicago heatwave by a day. Supposed to hit 73F up there...lol wtf? Been 3 straight days of rain here, with it supposed to rain all the way up till Tues morning...ugh. But at least it appears we may have better weather this year than we did last year. 40's with no snow, will take that.

Where did you hear 73? I heard 64.

ETA: Nevermind. They must be predicting a temperature band somewhere between here and the city. City's supposed to get to 73, up here's supposed to only make it to 64.

Both lows and highs above freezing. Coat, wool cap, sweater, long sleeved shirts and Levi's ought to work. Wasn't planning on spending a lot of time outdoors, anyway.



I was talking about trips to museums, y'pervs!
 
Speaking of museums, are we going to plan anything in advance or are we waiting til we're there to decide on our outings?

And yes, I'm sorry, I like to plan. it's a sickness. Much like my need to list-make.

I'm planning on the Field Friday morning. I figure that it will be less crowded than on Saturday. The art museum is likely to be less crowded anyway so we can do that one Saturday. Any takers?
 
A quick question to all ...

Somewhere we missed a Sunday night reservation. Is anyone else planning on staying at the hotel Sunday night? If you are, please let me know ASAP so I can contact the hotel first thing in the morning.

Blonde moment. :eek:

Reposting in case anyone missed it.

I'm calling the hotel in the morning for last minute changes ... if you are adding/deleting any nights, please let me know by the morning.

:rose:
 
I had to give my standard safety lecture this morning to my returning guys and I couldn't stop grinning. I think they may all think I'm high. I am so excited. And I just can't hide it...

I have to be careful how much anticipation I show cuz the folks I work with have an uncanny ability to pick up on that kind of thing. Then they start grilling me on what all is going on... and that's where I mention the planned inibriation and they all laugh it off. ;)

You? Inebriated?

I don't believe that.

:p

I would worry but I'm pretty sure my guys think I'm crazy as it is. And that's ok, keeps them off my back! ;)
