I don't know why I can't seem to blog more lately. Just lots going on. Work has been crazy and whenever I can walk away from the computer I do. Blogging just hasn't held much allure for me of late.
This weekend was fabulous! Friday we went to the Lawrence Fish Market and picked up enough fresh sushi grade fish to feed a huge family. Friends came over and The Boy and I made sushi, nigiri, sashimi and maki. It wasn't pretty, but it was delicious. Seriously, the best fist I've had in Chicago, if you're here...go. The place is a total dive of a fish monger, but worth it. And cheap, too! Lots of fish, new friends, four bottles of wine and a pineapple make for a fun night.
Saturday was sleeping late, breakfast, a neighborhood walk then off to miniature golf and then a viewing of Arsenic & Old Lace in the park.
Yesterday was more sleeping late then a trip to the gym and errands. The afternoon was completed with a few hours at the beach and then Raiders of the Lost Ark at a park in Bucktown. Dang, that's still a great movie.
I have GOT to get black out blinds in my bedroom. It's a south facing window and it's SO bright, it's light here by 5:15 or so.
I'm also starting to get excited about my trip to Paris with my Mom in October. It's now just about two months away. Still a surprise for her. I have two ideas on how to break the news to her. One is a list of "60 Things to do on Your 60th Birthday" with #1 being "Go to Paris with Geg!" Or, I'm thinking of just sending her a copy of this book with the itinerary in it. Mom doesn't really love surprises, so I need to tell her. Is two weeks enough notice? What do y'all think.
The other exciting thing is that I'm signed back up for classes at Second City. I was halfway through Level C when I had to drop out due to sickness early this Spring. I'm going back to retake Level C and classes start next Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to it. It will be with a new ensemble, so I hope that I like them and that they like me!
Work is work. After super crazy travel for a month, I'm home for a while and looking forward to getting back into a routine with classes, the gym, work and sleeping well!

My mom would start planning her packing now. I'd have plenty of time with two weeks. Actually if someone came home with tickets and told me we were going tomorrow, I'd be ready. (Theoretically. Because right now I'm too sick to do much at all. The doctor told me to spend the week on the couch.) I'd go with the book. It looks interesting.
Making sushi is fun, which, btw, you sound like you are having lots of. Good!
So glad to see a new post! It sounds like you've been busy.
I think you should give your mom at least a month's notice, in case she wants to get prepared for the trip (appts. and such).
I gave my niece a trip to Paris for her college graduation gift. She is the only grandchild who has yet to cross the pond and meet all of the other half of the family. I wanted it to be a surprise too - but life got too complicated so I had to tell her 9 months in advance. Gave her the book "Markets of Paris" with a coupon in it that said to redeem coupon for a free trip to Paris (really). She liked that a lot. We leave 3/14/10 and I am so already counting down the days.
Also - with the Euro the way it is I would relish a FREE room in Paris. You won't be there much and that means more moolah for other things - wine, food and shopping!
