I just had to say good-bye to my roomie MARY. This weekend has been amazing!! And BEBBI was right....we took over the lobby area yesterday, and it WAS Owl Manor!!

Dinner last night was amazing!! And I think it was cool that we all got to talk to SHIRLEY & ZONA!!

Jodi said...

Chicago will always have a soft spot in my heart. This is where I got to meet my "sistah's".

Thank you to CAROL who worked so hard in finding a place that we could hang for a few days. You are one AMAZING woman and I'm proud to call u a sistahfriend. :O)

Jodi said...

I'm hoping that the trip home goes well. ZONA....do you have a candle for that?

Jodi said...

Zona said...

TINA: FRANK!! I thought you said "Don't ever do that again.." ;) Great video..great song..I LOVE IT!!

It was so fun talking and laughing with everyone last night..it was kinda the second best thing to being there! Thank you for thinking of me..Next time..next time.. :)

JODI: Good morning gorgeous!! I'm not sure if I have a St. Christopher candle for your trip home..but I will definitely check in my candle closet and see if I have something that will work just as well!

I want to wish all those heading home today safe travels. The weekend spent with friends in the windy city may be coming to and end..but the memories and friendships will last forever. So will the pictures and video..I can't wait to see them..!! :D

Mary/MI said...

Well, I made it home safe & sound!
I hated to leave Chicago! I didn't even get arrested! That's no fun lol!
There are still Hooters there until Monday, maybe they can do some damage!
Thanks everyone for all the sweet gifts! It was like Christmas all over again!

Bebbi, even the glass ,peppermint & whiskey made it through security!
Now to imbibe :)

I am pooped and need to take a mini nap. Trying to decide if I should sell all my vids and pics from Chicago to the highest bidder or just put them all "out there"!

BTW, any "boob" shots are NOT mine! I was the picture of discretion. Covered them up, yup I did! Shudup Tina!!

Mary/MI said...

Glad you made it home ok Jodi!
Carol, I super love you!!

Dianne/Denver said...

Just left white castle for lunch. I didn't think it was too great--ok but not great. I think I like the food at hooters the other night the best!

Glad u r each getting home safely. Bear check in. Its been a fun weekend and some of us still have another day

Maureen said...

Good evening feathered friends!

I made it to Mishewaka, IN and am going to call Birdee and finalize our plans!

MARY...I almost choked...YOU, the picture of discretion? Who was your biggest? LOL!!!!

HODI...so glad you made it home safe and sound. Phew!


ZONA...that name sounds familiar! Bwahahahaha, I told ya I would do that! ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY next time!
Now stop bruising your tushie by kicking yourself. STOP IT!

SHIRLEY... It was great talkingto you last night, too.

DIANNE...did yo go to the 5-star White Castle or the regular one? LOL! Is Tina being nice to you? Smack her if she gets outta hand!

CAROL...hope you had an un-eventful flight home. It was so much fun having CAWFEE with you and thanks for liking a CCCCCCold room!

I bettere schlepp my stuff in and get settled. I will try to get down here to the 'puter again later.

Luv y'all!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Looks like some of the owls have made it back to their perch here at Owl Manor. A few are still stalking the streets of Chicago. Anyone know a good lawyer just in case?

I'm glad those that are home made it safe and sound. I look forward to hearing everyone's stories about meeting each other. I just have one question...who really is the prettiest...Lynn or Tina?

bonachichi said...

Hello Hooters!! Just wanted to check to see what everyone was up to. So glad everyone had so much fun in Chi-Town... You were calling Owls? When I was melting down? In the dead of night? Alone? :D Nah!! Tina got me through!

I am where I'm supposed to be. I think. For now, at least. We are leaving in a couple hours. Maybe. Who knows?

Bebbilane said...

OMG...Shirley..everyone was so pretty, I could NEVER decide. They are a fine looking bunch of hooters! I really loved talking to you.


Bonachichi: I have been watching for your posts. I hope everything is okay. What was the deal with the helicopters.

Had to help middle son with a cover letter tonight and drive Mr. B over to a friend's house.

I had the weirdest experience on the flight. I got hit on by a really cute 30 year old! OMG...made my Day for sure! haha. He was very sweet. He asked me for drinks..and I told him that I was married. He didn't stop trying though..so cute. I like older men, but this guy was good looking..Dark hair, tall, big FEET (lol, I am sorry, I noticed), great smile and beautiful eyes. ;) I told him he could be my SON...lol. But, he sure was sweet.

bonachichi said...

I would just like to mention (brag) that I have not been arrested, pulled-over, nor detained in any way by any law enforcement agency. Yet. So Mary's not the only Goodie-Two-Shoes in the flock.

bonachichi said...

OMG, Bebbi!! You would NOT believe! The helicopters were actually the sound of the cavalry coming to rescue us.

I'm sure it's strange to you all, but this crap happens every time I do this.

Bebbilane said...

MO: That cheese was so good! Thank you again.

Mary: I love your friskiness!! ^5 on you have the best rack for SURE! :) Too cute. I do think that Tina is in love with your boobies.

Tina: You are so sweet. You are...and it makes me laugh to tell you that because I know you will cross your arms and make that face....LOL.. *smooch*...!

LynnD: The Skyyy is falling..LOL!


J/L: I think you are gorgeous. I love that pic of you and Carol. :)

Sacbarb: Cracks me up everytime Di called you Mary...! that was so funny. You are a sweet lady! :)

Whabby: I agree with Mary, it was one of the best "surprises". You are so funny. And, how many different drinks did you have?? lol..~!


Mo (again): I agree with Tina, you rule on the one liners..and you are so fun. See, nothing to worry about regarding coming late to the connections!

Goldie - You are freaking gorgeous! I hope you enjoyed the cake tonight.

Jodi: Loved the beer and ale. That is so fun. AND, the potato salad IS LEGENDARY..~ Delicious!

Carol: Thank you for setting all this up. Incredible..that is the only word for you. Oh wait, and gorgeous, funny, cute, and cuddly.

Zona, Shirley, Lois, iteach & Bonachichi, DeeDee, Vig, Tink..and any other hooters that didn't make it...we missed you very much.

Dianne: Thank so much for the Broncos bag..in my book, Broncos are the best now. I will carry it proudly.. Should I put that Green Bay packers banner down in it too?... hehe.

Oh, I didn't check my lottery ticket and I just wrote a book...thanks for all the wonderful trinkets you all. :)

And double thanks to Tina for those two Delta purse things she's going to send each and every one of us. ;)

Shirley & Jodi: I did appreciate the water gun. I was really so hot all weekend. I sweated so much.

Also, FYI..I didn't work out again today. only 7349 steps. :( And, I ate everything in sight this weekend. OMG> Mary, those cookies were so good!

Bebbilane said...

Why did you need rescued?? Was their an accident? It just doesn't sound like that job is worth any kind of money...too stressful for me.

Everyone here can vouch for this, I get just a little high strung at times. I don't know how you DO IT!

Maureen said...

Just making a quick fly-by.

I have a pair of eyes looking over my shoulder and some skinny bird legs standing behind me.

Must be......







Hey!!!! Hey!!!! Hey!!!!!
Mo's being mean to me!!!!!
Does anyone believe that???
Now she's making fun of me


I'm not making fun of her, just her typing which is even worse then mine!

Ya know, I think BIRDEE was really with us in Chicago...my windshield was covered in poop when I left the hotel!!

Bebbilane said...

Oh, and wrote that whole book and didn't even tell Jodi how lovely she looks today...absolutely stunning..and I saw her in person this morning so I mean that from my heart. :)

Bebbilane said...

LOL Hi MO and BIRDIE!...I hope your having a good time..now Mo, you be nice to Birdee so she will come to meet us someday..Tell her how sweet we are...!!! And, tell her how much we like to talk about poop. ;)

Maureen said...

Shhh, she's not looking...

BIRDEE is a DOLL! She is really sweet and funny and as tall as my hips. Seriously, we have been having a blast. (At least I am!) I did try to take a pic and she dove under the bed. Actually, she didn't even have to bend down to get under it!

She really is sweet and so very pretty. She has gorgeous eyes, too.

I want contacts now so I can have eyes like hers, Carol's and Just Lin.

Maureen said...

BEBBI..glad you made it home safe. And I am glad you liked the cheese. And thanks for your kindness.

bonachichi said...

No Bebbi, no accidents yet. One car took a giant dump, but we got a replacement for it.

I sent Tina a blog about what happened, kind of. We were trying to get ahead and wound up "somewhere" around 3.00-4.00 in the morning. No car & few people. I didn't speak the language, didn't know what time it was or where I was. I had a meltdown.

With the helicopters came others in the same rally, so we were in the right place. Big relief! It's now 4.30 Monday morning (here) and too late to sleep cuz we're leaving soon.

Bebbilane said...

Maureen: I agree..I want those contacts too!!!!!!!

Bebbilane said...

bonachichi: Can't wait to read about it. Take care of yourself..! Your life sounds crazy right now.

Just_Lin said...

Hi, Hooters! I have been having a blast here in Chicago.

I'm so glad to see that Jodi, MO, Mary, Carol and Bebbi have all made it home safely. Goldie and Bear Please check in.

Bebbi Thank you for being the organizer when we couldn't seem to get it together.

night.owls.sb said...

Hi Everyone..

I am home.. Need to decompress.. I have a killer headache as my ears have not popped yet.. and they kinda hurt.. my flight was right on time, and even arrived early..

I will be back in a bit..

Mo..

BIRDEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

bonachichi said...

Bebbi, we have just one more driving day here. Then back to USA/Canada.

We are hearing of a bomb in Times Square, which is our final checkpoint, I think. It's one of the checkpoints. Except now that might change cuz most of these cars are super $$ and whilst the guys have no problem driving like maniacs, they don't want their toys blown up.

Just_Lin said...

I sincerely wish all of the HOoters could have made this trip. Maybe next time.

Just_Lin said...

Bonach You should have come here to Chicago. It would have been a lot less stressful.

bonachichi said...

Just_Lin, I can't tell you how much thinking of your avatar pulled me out of the depths! Thanks for that!

Who is still in Chi-Town?

East Bay J said...

Hi hooters,

Sounds like a good time was had by all in Chicago. I wish I was there, but hopefully next time.

I've enjoyed seeing some of the pics on Facebook!

Safe travels to those not home yet!

bonachichi said...

We've mixed up some fun... not terribly stressful. The guys went out drinking one night, then one was "too sick" to help the next day. I called hotel room service & ordered a bucket of ice water to be dumped on the guys' nuts. After he found his testicles, he came straight to work.

East Bay J said...

Does anyone remember how to remove that "security warning" pop up that appears on this page??

East Bay J said...

Bona where are you? Hope you are safe...

bonachichi said...

Whose FB account has the pics??

bonachichi said...

EBJ; I'm in Copenhagen, Denmark. Soon to leave for Stockholm, Sweden.

Bebbilane said...

EBJ, I don't..but it doesn't come up at home only when I log on it at work.

Bebbilane said...

J/L: It was no problem and I was really glad to be able to help! Also, thank you so much for dinner the first night...~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG...that was so fantastic. That was the best salad and salad dressing. YUM~! And the pizza was fun to try and it was tasty..just didn't live up the hype for me. I like thin crust better, I guess. :)

bonachichi said...

If you guys are using Windows, that sounds like a Firewall. Go to your Start menu & type "Firewall". Read instructions on how to add the Nest to your "Allowed" or "Unblock" list.

bonachichi said...

Oh. Or when u see the pop-up, there should be a different colored line near your toolbar; click on that and let the Nest in.

Tina~in_ut said...

Bonachichi~ I'm in Chicago with Di, and Barb, LynnD, and J/L are upstairs in their room~ and the pics are on my FB page~

Bebbi~ ur sweet~ SO happy I met you~ Did you remember ur question?

Hi EBJ~

Tina~in_ut said...

50~

Bebbilane said...

Tina: No, I never did..I will though..and if not, It's early Alzheimer...or a serious case of CRS.

Bebbilane said...

Tina: PS, that pic with me oggling Jodi's boobies...man, were my eyes buggin out OR WHAT??? LOL..too funny!

Tina~in_ut said...

Bebbi~ that was a great pic~

Shirley~ to answer ur question....LynnD HANDS DOWN!!!! And it was superfantastic talking to you~ ur so cute~

bonachichi said...

Well Crap! We're going into final preparations... I might have to sneak looks at the pics from the road. Maybe even find a dark corner where I can look now. A Peeping Owl!! Thanks, Tina!

Where's DeeDee?

Bebbilane said...

Yes, I was wondering that too..Where is DeeDee?

Tina~in_ut said...

Bebbi~ DeeDee is outside trying to get Belle to come inside, before she becomes a whore like Blue~

Bebbilane said...

Tina: Oh..well then, that makes sense. Wouldn't want no doggie whore-in going on~!

Bebbilane said...

night.owls.sb said...

I can't type another thing.. when my head is clear tomorrow I will tell all the gory details..

off to bed..

:O)

Bebbilane said...

You know what's hard about right now? I have so much I would like to say and I liked not having to type the shit out when we were all together..now it is a lot more work...LOL. I will get used to it again, but it was nice to talk for like however many hours STRAIGHT. I still can't believe we came down for breakfast and never LEFT. You guys are awesome...LOL.

So Carol, I hope you get to feeling better and can tell us all the gory details. I have a crazy story from my really short flight.

Bebbilane said...

Tina: My daughter can't see the photos from anyone else, even though I "shared" the one photo on my wall. I told her she should be able to see it. I want to test that where you said that people who are not friends can see pics that are "friends only".

Birdee said...

Hi Everyone!!! Just wanted to stop in and say I'm so glad you all had a good time in Chi. Really sorry I didn't make it. The pics look great...you all look so pretty!

Had a great time meeting Mo...she's the one that is a Doll!! She HAD to say those nice thing's about me cuz....I was sitting right next to her...(with the axe)!! ;o)

Mo, sorry!! I forgot to give you the one ring when I got home...oops! now it's too late. I know you're sleeping by now!

Carol, hope you feel better in the morning. xoxo

It was really nice talking with all of you this morning too!!

Have a good night and sleep well!

Love to all!!!

Morning Glories!

I am up and moving this morning (barely) getting ready to repack to fly home today.

Sacbarb and J/L and I had a day on the town yesterday. We even rode the train like a real Chicagoan! Then we met Tina and Di at the Navy Pier for Dinner. It was so much fun.

I am so glad I got to meet all of these fabulous people. It was so natural like picking up a story with old friends. It was like we had all met before. Sweet down to earth and fabulously funny people! Lots of food was shared and a few drinks too!

PS Shirley Tina is really the Prettier one, but I am smarter! :)

I will post and share photos when I get home.

Love you all!

Jodi said...

Good morning LYNN!! Trying to post pics....but freakin' hell, can't figure it out. GRRRR!!!! It has even stumped my Sam. Safe travels today, and thanks for the spooning ♥

Jodi said...

BIRDEE - You don't know how close I was to following MO yesterday. When I get a better car, I am so driving down to see your sweet ass!!!
