Fill me up fill me up
I'm a long way from home
And I don't have a lot to say
Fill me up fill me up
Cause you're all that I've got
And I traveled a long long way

Cheer me up cheer me up
Cause I'm all alone
And I'm takin it day by day
Fill me up fill me up
Cause you're all that I've got
And I traveled a long long way. shawn colvin

hello blogosphere. i'm still feeling crappy, hopefully it won't develop into a cold, but thought i would post the best parts of chicago for those of you who read but didn't make it there (is that anyone?) i apologize to the non blue 2 peeps, this might not seem as funny as it did to us.

*JVS being RIGHT about the ice skater. we argued with him for a good 15-20 minutes and then K remembered that she had in fact gone boating with him and perhaps over to his house. the guy sitting behind JVS actually congratulated him. it was hilarious.

*reminiscing about the project in miami: crazy dog lady and then crazy 'i let you f$#@ me in the a$$' lady. raquel drinking waaaaaaaay too much at a gay bar in miami and throwing up pretty much everywhere and then not remembering anything the next day.

*googling the dish at starbucks to see if we could discern her status on this planet (answer, we're not sure)

*dancing to old amerisongs at the reception- hey ya, get low, yeah, notrious big,

*sitting down to lunch at the thai place and it was KJ, JVS, FL and myself and just looking around and it was so surreal.

*realizing that we hadn't seen each other in 3-4 years but we were totally comfortable hanging out and talking.

*raquel may have had a bit too much to drink at the reception. but it was damn fun!

all in all it was the best 4 days in recent memory. well if you take away the traveling, and even that, while frustrating, was a break from my every day life, so it was good. it was so good to see the people that came, it's hard to describe but i feel like just hanging out with people who know you so well is comforting. i'm so blessed to still have you all in my life, and to have spent the year together that we did. love love love. r
