Like, when I'm on the plane or the bus and I'm bored. Now I don't feel much like writing about Thanksgiving week.
Wednesday was a full day of travel, leaving Mitch&Julie's at 3:30 AM and arriving in Paw Paw around 8 PM. I had a layover in Cincinatti (both directions) and the plane from Cin. to Chicago and back was small; we stepped outside to board and deplane and walking up the built-in-door stairs. Arriving in Chicago, we flew around the city and I tried to identify streets, where I used to live and so on. I miss Chicago like crazy.
My father's food was delicious. For Thanksgiving we had caviar, duck pate, mussels marinara, salad, duck, rice pilaf w/ chestnuts, green beans, orange sauce, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. It was the first time I can remember having guests (friends of my mom's from work) and it was tasty. I moved around so much these past couple days though, that I felt like I didn't really spend much time at home. I was in CU for a night, then back to Paw Paw and then off to Chicago the same day.
My flight today was at 6:10 AM, so I spent the night at Jess' in Bucktown since she lives off the blue line - double pluses: see Jess, don't have to leave Paw Paw at an ungodly time. I miss Chicago like crazy.
It was warmer in Chicago waiting for the El to come at 4 AM than it was in SF when I arrived at 11:30 AM. I left my winter coat and scarf in Chicago and while I waited for the Marin Airporter (a coach type bus that takes people from Marin to the airport and back), I wished I hadn't.
Oh, right, and (I think) I went through security at O'Hare with Lil' Kim and her entourage. That or Lil' Kim has marketed carry on bags, the woman was wealthy enough to have private security with her, and Fendi boots, bag, and belt.
