Had a good time in Chicago. Technically, it was actually Rosemont. Went for the muscle car and corvette nationals so there wasn't a whole lot of time for shopping. I did something to my back anyway so the couple hours we did try shopping were excruciating and not so fun. Sadly, the Korean restaurant I'd picked out (after much research online cause I was looking for a particular dish) was closed. Lucky for us though, there was a wonderful Mediterranean place next door. I spent most of last week sick. Went to his dad's for Thanksgiving and I guess it wasn't too bad. I felt awkward but then, I usually do when I go somewhere new and meet new people. And next weekend, he gets to meet my adoptive family. Thankfully, we will not be staying at their house.

Anyway, we went to "Catching Fire" last weekend with his and my youngest last weekend. Didn't expect to enjoy it but I did. Tonight, we're dropping them off to see "Frozen." I can wait for that to come out on dvd.

I'm really craving some alone time. Very unlikely to happen, seeing as how it's the weekend. But I would love to have at least half a day where I don't see any people or talk to any people. Not phone calls, no texts. Just utter peace and quiet.
All this busyness (and togetherness) is leaving me feeling very overwhelmed. (Plus I'm getting a bit cranky. My youngest actually said to me that I must be menopausal.)
