SIghtseeing

Monday - Mom and I went shopping and picked out a new sink for her kitchen. We had lunch at Einstein's bagels and discussed theology and the apocrypha. I reglazed the ham for dinner. Yummy.

Tuesday - My dear brother, Scott, and I went shopping together. We went thrifting, where I procured a giant papercutter and a taxidermied frog. We had lunch at a mediocre Chinese restaurant and then he took me to Horsefeathers. Scott referred to it as a "hippie" store. It was a great import store. They had wonderful jewelry that sparkled. I had fun and spent money. Scott was amazed and appalled at the same time. THen we had drinks at "Its all Good" and headed home. The whole family went to dinner at Portillos (hot dog restaurant) and then saw Harry Potter at the IMax. It was great. On the way home Katie's boyfriend called to tell her he wasn't going to be able to see her while he was in Chicago (I think he needs to prioritize and Katie needs to kick his sorry ass). So she is a little down. Romance is such a pain in the ass. Keeps you in a tangle.

Today - Scott and I are adventuring to Skokie (WIsconsin?) to go to the Nickel arcade and Trader Joes where I will search for the elusive "2 buck Chuck" a fine wine that sells for $2.00/bottle. Scott M. may join us so I will have a day with two 16 year old Scotts. (Change of plans, I watched HGTV today and relaxed. No trips anywhere.)
Bill and Dad put in a sink yesterday and today are adding can lights to the kitchen.

Happy Holidays!
Congratulations Tashia on your new job!
