Day at the Zoo

Yesterday we all went to Brookfield Zoo in Chicago and we had a great time.  well I did anyway.  I'm pretty sure everyone did.  I really thought It was going to be really miserable for me cuz I've gained so much weight and my body is really feeling the strain that I didn't think I was going to be able to do it...But I did with no pain at all.  the only problem I did have was with the heat but that is not a problem...It was hot out.  everybody was sweating.  we left around 8:30 am and left the zoo around 4.  a lot of the attractions were indoors with air conditioning so that was nice.  it was a really good day. Here are some pics....

All of the animals were fantastic.  the zoo itself was really nice.  they had a dolphin show that was pretty cool too.  I've noticed something about myself though.  every time I go to a dolphin show.......I want to cry.  don't ask me why but every time I go to a dolphin show I get this overwhelming feeling of joy and I want to just ball like a baby.  thank god it was hot so when I wiped my face it just looked like I was wiping sweat and thank god no one was looking directly at me or else I would have been caught with red eyes.  damn dolphins.....

the animals were pretty active and most of them were out and about which is great.  I hate going to the zoo and they are all inside hiding.  the gorillas were funny playing with each other.  of course no pics of that...LOL...Here are some more...

we didn't do anything today.  Sarah and I had the house to ourselves since our roomie had to work (awwwww) and her daughter spent the day with relatives so Sarah and I watched TV all day.  these reality shows.  LOL  E is becoming my new favorite channel.  today we watch this reality show on Las Vegas showgirls and the horrible lives they lead.  jeeze.  but then they had this show called the abc of Angelina Jolie.  basically they go through the alphabet and with each letter come up with something that has to do with Angelina.  it was pretty funny.  highlight of my day if you ask me.  Cat Woman comes out this Friday and I will be there to see that movie.  Halle (I can work a whip like no other) Barry......ooooo la la.  must see entertainment.

its Wednesday and I have 4 more days left of my vacation and I can honestly say.....I miss work.  I find myself wondering how they are doing...Stuff like that.  but I won't call.  Monday I was there for a while to find out that some problems have occurred over the weekend, there was a lost package, etc etc......And I'm thinking......Do I really want to come back to this???  I've been gone 3 days people...Can you NOT survive without me!!!  heh

other than that, things are starting to come together here and soon ill have pics of the new place.  I need to find an easier way to post pictures cuz this site doesn't make it so user friendly.  well I'm off to the potty and then get myself a bowl of Skinny Cow Chocolate Cookie Dough with peanut butter chunk ice cream.  mm mm good.
