Anyway, yesterday Elysia, her boyfriend Andrew, Steve, and I went downtown. Andrew is from St. Louis so he hasn't really had the Chicago experience, Susan doesn't let Elysia go downtown, and Steve just never paid attention to Chicago, so I was like their tour guide yesterday. Elysia and Andrew were too busy cuddling and stuff to really pay attention to me (Susan would flip if they held hands, so I understand) but one of the best moments of the day is when Steve told me he could finally see the champagne bottle in the Carbide and Carbon Building. I was so excited someone listened!
We started our day at the Picasso statue by the courthouse. Steve had never seen it so we took a visit. We all slid down it, except Elysia who refused because she was wearing a skirt. She used the fact that she was on time and Steve was not (by three hours!) as justification.
Then we just walked down Michigan Ave. I showed them the Tribune Tower and all the other stones in it. I think I was the most excited and I hope everyone else think it's as cool as I do. While walking I found out that Andrew did not know what Tiffany's is, and had to show him. We went in, and I found my engagement ring (FYI, three stone, oval cut, will gladly accept it in .0004 carats!). Then I went upstairs to the Elsa Peretti Collection and found my bracelet and earrings that I'm currently trying to save up for so I can be a pretty bride. And I'm aware I'm not getting married, thanks. Speaking of which, I'm so mad at the L because the prices raised. I had to go into my Tiffany's fund to pay!
After that we just walked around some more (we're too poor to do anything else). We went into Water Tower, which I had never actually been inside of. It was awesome. I asked if there were any times I could go up the tower, but the guy said no. We took a trip into Victoria's Secret, too. They discriminated against Steve and that makes me sad. What if a male wanted to try something on?! That's just not fair in any possible way! I support transgendered people! We had dinner at Ed Debevic's. It was disappointing. The server started funny, but she just wasn't as mean as she could have been. The guy server was an awesome dancer though!
After we decided Susan wouldn't care if Elysia was out, we headed all the way back to Millenium Park. Steve had never seen the bean. He was most excited about the stage though... There were weird sculptures there though. One was a monster car thing that was eating peope. One of the statues had a distinct vajayjay. I'm not sure how I felt about that. The eyes of the monster also had cameras, although Steve tried to convince me they were lightbulbs. We tried to go into the garden too, but it was closed.
We went home afterward. We found cards at the L station, and it was an odd deck. It had four 9 of hearts cards, so we each took one. It was a really good day, despite Steve waking up psycho late! Susan didn't even flip out! But next time...I'm taking a couple that has been together for awhile so I don't have to see mushiness! ;)
