Well. I left Atlanta last Thursday and was so exhausted from the packing (even though I had corporate movers) so I crashed in Knoxville for the night so I wouldn't miss Lipstick Jungle-My new co-favorite tv show. I made some serious sales atop the Smokey Mountains on Friday. (I had to keep pulling over to open the lap top and sell, sell, sell.) I had dinner at the country club with Mom, Dad, & G-ma and then Saturday bought a new sofa sectional since mine was too big to fit in the doorway in Chicago-ugh. I met my sister's boyfriend Sunday and then crashed with her in Carmel anf played catch-phrase-the song version with Lindsay, Mark, and Kayla. You defintely want to play this game with me sometime ....apparently I am funny?
Monday I drove up to Chicago, slowly watching my thermometer drop, drop, drop while getting an arm workout because of the 70mph winds. I rolled in to Lake Shore Plaza with the cleanest car in the city-(not for long I am sure) I stayed at the Westin since I didn't have a bed or internet connection and it was the worst Westin experience I have ever had. (Internet didn't work, the heavenly shower was messed up, no tv station list, no slippers, blah blah. )
So the movers came 90 minutes early-uhm, not good when you are dealing with freight elevators and I am on the 38th floor and the MGMT acts like they are running a military operation. I began digging out of boxes as fast as they brought them up-not too much room to work with in 720sq. ft. I have 19 big boxes left mainly office, bathroom and closet stuff. My new sofa sectional came today and everything is shaping up nicely. Plan your visits now!!!!
So I ventured out for groceries/Target stuff tonight....Publix, oh Publix where are you?? Domincks is just not the same grocery experience. Met a nice girl in parking garage/elevator and she told me how she just moved from Indiana and she thought Chicago people were mean (great, thanks)
Guess she won't be my new Chicago bff!
Anyway, I assure you my future Whispers will be more fun!! Whisper, Whisper!!!

Hey Katie - I need more updates!!
Sounds like a good time though, minus some initial "getting settled" problems. 720sq/ft seems small, but my apartment downtown Cleveland was 765sq/ft, and it had 18 ft. ceilings, so it never seemed too small. Have a good time living in Chicago, and if you hear of any sales jobs that make the big bucks, let me know...I'm sick of my job. Like JOKO said...we need more updates. Also, take word verification off the blog...annoying.
It has been over 6 weeks since you made a post...have you given up? I am only goingv to check this iste for one more week, then I am giving up...
