A Canadian in America...

My Exciting day!

This morning I woke up and lazed around until I decided that perhaps I should get ready enough to go out in case Sean phoned soon. So I did, and he did, and I ended up meeting Sean and his parents at Woodfield mall for lunch. We went to Red Robins. I had Clucks and Fries, and was disappointed that they don't have plum sauce here. I had honey mustard instead, which I suppose is an okay substitute. Anyhow, so we went for lunch, and then Sean and his mom bought some Crocs flip flops from the Crocs stand in the mall, and then they headed out. I guess they aren't driving to Ohio yet, as they can't get anything done in Ohio until Monday, so they're heading back up north to visit friends in Toronto or something.
But yeah. After they left I decided to go back into the mall and find me a bathing suit.

Bathing suit emergency solved.

After trying on about 5-6 bikinis I finally settled on one, bought it, and then decided to shop some more for a strapless bra and some nude undies that won't show through the pair of white capris I bought in Edmonton. Hopefully they work:)
After the shopping I drove home, showered and bummed around until it was time for me to babysit! I went and played with one of my babies for a few hours, got paid way too much, and then phoned my husband to see where he was at. He informed me that he was still at Leona's. This was at 10:00. When I talked to him earlier, just after four, he was at Leona's. Hmmmm, I thought.....I told him that I was going to come and pick him up. So I did. I had to drive to Des Plaines to get my very inhebriated husband, move his car to somewhere where it hopefully won't get ticketed and/or towed, and then drive him home again. I'm pleased to announce that we made it all the way home before he vomited on his father's lawn.
Good thing we're going to look at an apartment in Des Plaines tomorrow morning so we can go pick up his car!
Okay, so the apartments that I looked at are, well, SMALL. The one in Des plaines is pretty affordable compared to anything else that we've seen, but it's also rather small. And not the nicest apartment in the world. And it doesn't have a dishwasher. This is the one that we're going to see. I've already seen it obviously. However, the lady that showed me the apartment phoned me up today to tell me that there is a one bedroom opening up Sept 1st in the other apartments that she manages, and they're bigger. We're also going to see one of those tomorrow, and if we like it we might apply to live there. It's close to the other apartments, so it's in the same area. Actually probably a nicer area. And those apartments seem nicer, too. Hopefully all goes well tomorrow, and we might have a move in date of Sept 1st, or something:)

So that's my story.

Eric is passed out in his bed. hahahahaha. Hopefully he can get up tomorrow morning to go and see the places!
