I work in the loop, and my friends and I have all spent a lot of time downtown. Where are you staying? What airport are you flying into? I do love Chicago!

I'll know better once my mom sends up the travel book and her list... then Adam and I can go through it all, see what we want to do, and then I'll be able to ask more intelligent questions. LOL! Although, food recommendations are always a good thing - everyone in my family knows I have IBS, but they don't even remotely understand how to eat for it. I know I can always do sushi, and Indian is pretty safe because I know what I can eat, but beyond that, if you have any recommendations, I'd love to know. We're going to be eating out almost every meal from the time we get there Wednesday night, till Sunday morning before we leave again!
We'll be staying at my stepfather's apartment - nice and cheap, LOL! Oh, and we're flying into O'Hare. (Or is it Ohare? Well, whatever.  )

...that it's a cleaner, nicer version of NY. She just loves it there - not quite enough to leave NY, but pretty close! I made a note of the nature museum; I'm almost positive Adam will like that too, so I think that'll be a must-see. Thanks!

We'll only be there from the 14th to the 18th.  Besides which, my mother and stepfather see us so rarely that I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let us out of their clutches long enough to go anyway!
But it sounds like it'll be fun!

There are lots of great sushi places, and some fantastic indian places too. My husband remembers the names so I'll ask him. There is also some cool new organic/vegetarian place I've heard about, I'll try to remember the name.

I'm convinced he is a prodigy or my guardian angel. He is home with us full time now, he stays out of his crate when I go to work, he has a dog walker come by to take him out, walk him, and play with him---for an hour! He doesn't pee, poop, or get into anything. When we leave he doesn't cry, in the morning he sleeps in. He doesn't bite us or bark excessively. he rings his bell to go outside (Adorable!) like a champ, he plays outside for hours by himself. He doesn't beg. He loves people. He loves to snuggle in the morning and when we come home from work.
I could seriously go on and on. Some of you may remember how stressed I was when we first got him. I don't think he's normal---he's abnormally smart and good and obedient, considering he's only FIVE MONTHS OLD!!! I love him! He has turned out to be everything I ever wanted. And here's a pic:

Hmmm...
1) Classes are over
2) My afternoon acting class being so amazing
3) Sugar cookies
4) The dot seems to be content hanging out in my body so far
5) morning sickness means nothing to a person whose IBS and GERD make her nauseous all the time anyway
6) presents in the mail: 1 necklace and 2 books
7) The Derby party tomorrow
8) One paper and 1 proposal defense and I am ABD!
9) Solving the TA crisis and making my mentee happy in the process

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous! Ok, my dog is 4mths old tomorrow. He doesn't tell me when he needs to go out, he bites excessively, he's up at 5am (sleep in! What the heck is that?!?!?) He barks at me when I put him on a long lead outside in the yard. Can not obviously entertain himself for hrs!!! He won't let me brush him. He's afraid of the stinkin thing. What's up with that????? He jumps up at the kitchen table and counter tops and has gotten numerous cheese sandwiches from my youngest who fails to watch his food. Oh he at a whole pack of Trident gum that he jumped up at the kitchen table and grabbed off of it! I could go on and on too however, mine are not near as happy moments as yours! It's funny too cause Golden's and Labs are VERY smart and learn VERY quickly. That explains why your doggie is so smart. He has Lab in him. He does give me his paw(both actually one at a time when asked) and he does sit but that's pretty much it. When he's not obessively trying to find my underwear he's looking for a sock instead! Ughhhhhhh...Maybe at 5mth's I will be talking like you. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
BTW I just wanna squeeze your dog and hug him. He's the cutest thing. I'm so glad you didn't decide to give him away. He turned out so precious!!!
