celtic fest and fancy bars
Monday, September 18th, 2006Saturday was beautiful. I woke up at six to take Bridgette to her skating class. I dropped her off their and drove to Starbucks to get COFFEE. After that the world looked much nicer, and the sun was coming out and you could tell that it is going to be a beautiful day! So after her class was done we drove back home and rested a little while playing with Mr. Peabody and Sammy (the cats).
In the afternoon I went downtown with Maddie. It was a Maddie&Mimi day. First we went to Old Navy. I got Maddie a shirt and myself a vest and some of those comfi pants that everybody is wearing around here. Then we wanted to go to the Celtic Fest, but first we stopped at Millenium Park to take pictures of this amazing thing. After that we were kind of exhausted from all the walking, so we sat down and ate the Brownie we brought along for a snack. Refreshed from the Brownie we walked over to Grant Park and walked around, saw Irish dancers, music and had corn on the cob. Maddie wanted to get me something as well, so she bought little shiny stones with celtic signs on them for me and herself. I will keep it as a lucky charm.
After I dropped Maddie off at home I got ready to go out with Harper. We first went to have dinner at Lulas and then went to some backyard party to meet John whom I haven’t seen in three years. He was like “Miriam! You’re back!!” Funny. Then we met Tak (?) and drove with him to Y Bar. This bar was insane: People dressed up really fancy, throwing around with money, Wodka red bull for insane 14 $ and a girl in the bathroom handing you a towel after you washed your hands. After that we went to Crobar and after that to a place (I forgot the name) and stayed there till four. Then Tak gave me a ride home, which was nice, so I didn’t have to spend money on a cab. Here are some pics, it was late and I had way to much to drink.
So sunday was kind of a lazy day. Maddie wanted to practice cart wheels with me, but being upside down was not a good idea.
Today I found 80$ in my pant’s pockets from saturday and at first I couldn’t remember that I withdraweled money saturday night. It was scary for a sec, I was like “where is that money from, what did I do?” Since I got it at some random ATM machine I probably spend 10$ on extra fee. Darn it.
Tomorrow I’m going to the Museum of Contemparary Art. And I will probably be writing a bunch of postcards. I haven’t found any postcards that are nice. I don’t like those cards where it says CHICAGO in big rainbow colored letters.
I love the show “Curb your Enthusiasm“. Ellen just gave me the complete first season on DVD. I wanna watch it, but I still have to work on my paper. I could punch myself in the face for not working on it.
see ya
