My sweetie and I made several attempts to attend the Chicago International Film Festival (CIFF). Never before have I encountered so many things go wrong. The first attempt we made we (by we, I mean me) confused which theatre it was playing at. It wasn’t a big deal. The CIFF was just getting started so we thought there would be many other opportunities to see something else. The second attempt we made the theatre decided to move the film to another one downtown AND change the time. Once again, our attempt to see a movie together had been spoiled. The third (and final) attempt we made occurred on a premiere night and ALL the tickets were SOLD! AAARRGGGHHH! We could have stayed to see if there would have been any extra tickets they could have sold but we were #19 on the list to try and get tickets.
We then decided to spend the evening at Julius Meinl sipping tea and eating crepes. This was our second visit. You see, my honey has an infatuation with tea and after I told him that we should try this place out (with the recommendation of my good friend BLOWESHA) I have not been able to keep him away from it. I just love that place, or is it just because I’m with the guy I care about?
Yesterday, I was speaking to Blowesha on the phone and she was telling me about what a great time she had in Wisconsin!
(Ok, let me rewind a bit. My honey and I made plans with Blowesha and her honey to go apple picking in Wisconsin. The entire drive it was pouring down rain and seemed like terrible conditions to be in an orchard picking apples in the MUD. So, my honey and I decided to cancel and spend the day at Gurnee Mills.)
She was telling me how great it was and everything they did. I then told her about the great time I had spending with my honey to which Blowesha replied, “I guess it doesn’t matter what you are doing as long as you are doing it with the person you love.” That’s so true. I always have such a great time with him no matter what we do. I had almost forgotten how great this feeling is until he came into my life. Sigh–
