I'm bragging because mine was awesome! Hope yours was too. Joe amazed me yesterday on how much he does know me. It's the little thoughtful gifts that count the most. We had carrout chinese and it was better than fighting the lines for the restaurants. :)

I'm going to miss him. He better hurry up and look for a promotion in indy.

This is sick and horrible. . I thought the Rockford area was better than this. Apparently he was a graduate student at champaign-urbana. It happened on Valentine's Day and I only surmise that maybe he had a problem with a girlfriend.

These shoes were the most comfortable office shoes ever. I could stand for hours in these shoes.

I think this tops my list of the most expensive shoes that I've ever purchased at $150.

They're beautiful and functional. I hope they last 20 years.

Munro Shoes



Made in the USA

After I handed in my badge and left work, I drove to Wheaton to get my car cleaned on the inside. Plus they did a basic exterior wash. This took about 3 hours. I walked around Wheaton Rice Square to spend my afternoon.

I went to Red Robin for lunch. I've always seen this place and haven't tried it. I decided today would be the day to try it.

I have never, ever eaten a bigger burger. I could only eat 3/4's of this. Well, maybe a little less. The point is, I came in hungry, and I do not know how ordinary people, other than pig-out artists, can complete their burgers!
Actually, I first had them re-do my bacon burger because I asked for medium and they made it rare. After that is was pretty good. But I will say that sirlon burgers char-broiled are the best burgers ever. Those you will only get at like barbecues.

After lunch I walked to my bank and got lots of $$ out.

I then walked back to the shopping square and went into Talbot's and got some new work clothes. They're really cute.

I then walked around the square and into a shoe store there. I found a pair of really nice and comfortable shoes.

After walking around some stoes, answering a whole lot of phone calls from my movers, I ended up at StarBucks and had a hot chocolate. Their cofee actually makes me sick, later. I relaxed and read about the NIU shooting and then got the phone call saying my car was done.

Walked back to the car wash place and picked up my car. Thanks to Joe for getting me that gift card for my birthday gift (after I bitched about not getting a card nor present)... that makes it all good.

I HAVE TO PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
