Airport Rush

My three-day weekend has gone. Spent most of it sleeping. Don't you hate it when you are sick on your day off? Back to work again tomorrow. Sigh... I really should find a job that I will look forward to going every morning. Oh well, no time to think about that right now. It's getting late and I have to wake up early tomorrow.

Vince and I went to Chinatown to eat dimsum for lunch with his friends. Then we took Brian to the airport. The traffic to O'Hare was so bad, and it didn't help that we left Chinatown late, either. If only Brian, Kevin, Notch and Jen came on time to the restaurant, we could have started lunch earlier. But Notch was on call last night, and when Kevin and Brian came to pick her and Jen up, the girls were not ready yet. So, to make it short, we were running late to the airport. Brian was sweating up at the backseat so worried that he would miss his flight, which was at 4:00pm. We were still on the freeway at 3:15. I was really stressed out for him, too. Finally we got to the Northwest terminal around 3:30. Brian almost jumped out the car as soon as the car stopped. After taking his bags out of the trunk, he checked in his bag at the curb. Then we left. About half an hour later, Vince got a call from Brian. We both thought, "oh no, he missed his flight." Luckily, some sort of miracle happened and the airline people still let him in and gave him a boarding pass, since he's already checked in his bag. I don't know how it happened but the airline people let him pass the lines through security so he could catch his flight. So now he is back in Michigan. Whew!


When we got home from the airport, I took a short nap. Then, Vince and I walked to Broadway to get ice-cream from the newly opened store on the corner. After that, we walked on Broadway to the Express Store, but it was closed by the time we got there, so we went to Borders Bookstore across from it. Spent some time browsing through books. We didn't buy anything, though. Then, we walked around to find a place to eat. We decided on pizza and went to this little pizza/Italian place called Renaldi's. The walls were covered with different sizes framed pictures of Italy. How I wish to go there.

After dinner, Vince and I went over to his place to watch a Chinese movie. Then he took me home. Time for sleep again.:)
