~ My Take on Chicago ~

by Tina~in_ut


This is just my take on the weekend in Chicago~  (in order of arrival)

LynnD~ so amazing.....I thought so anyway, but you're also funny and sweet and oh so innocent~ (don't let Di blame you for anything!!!)

Di~ the perfect roommate~  I don't even think I want to kill you anymore~ :)~  Want to go for a walk?  and btw......India is NOT on the other side of Lake Michigan~

SacBarb~ You are the perfect Mary!!!  Thanks for going to church with me~

JustLin~ OMG!!!  So quiet, but in those eyes, I see you laughing and you make me laugh my stinkin' butt off~

Jodi~ I could have killed you for licking my face.....but I'm over it now......well, as soon as I have that chemical peal on Wednesday!!!  I'm so glad I finally got to meet you and your laugh is so infectious~

Mary~ So sorry I got carried away with your boobs!  ....but dang they're hot!  I wish you could have stayed longer!!!  Oh.....and huh?~

Goldie~ You and Mr Goldie were such gracious hosts that first night!  You're perfect together~

Bebbi~  Shhhhhhhh......don't tell anyone......you're my favorite~  I'm so glad you came~

Mo~ Whether on the blog or in person........your one-liners make me laugh my butt off!  I'm so glad you were able to come!!!~

Carol~ Absolutely beautiful!!!  I want you to remember that!  I hate to admit this, but I think you should be first on the blog every day!~  ijs~ Oh....and you're perfect!~ 

Bear~ I was nervous to meet you, but you were so gracious, very funny, so sweet and genuinely kind........and not a bad kisser, either~  (just kidding everyone.......that was Mary!)

Shirley~  I know you weren't there, but I feel like I got to meet you too~  I'm honored that you felt I should be squirted with that dang super-soaker first!  NOT!!!!  It was nice to finally "meet" you.......so funny and sweet~

For those who weren't in Chicago, I have to tell this one story!  O M G!!!!!  At dinner on Saturday night, we tried to sit at one long table, but it was hard to get in and out, so we were sort of separated into three different tables, but still close together.  At the middle table were bear and I and across from us were SacBarb, Mary, and Dianne.  When the food came, Dianne looked over and asked, "Mary, what did you get?"  Mary turned to her with a "huh?" look on her face.  Dianne was staring at SacBarb but talking to Mary and it didn't make sense to Mary.  Dianne leaned forward a little and asked again.  Mary looked from her to SacBarb, where Di was looking, and back.  SacBarb continued eating.  I could tell from the look on Di's face that she was a little embarrassed that "Mary" was ignoring her.  Mary had this look of absolute confusion.  SacBarb was still eating.  I couldn't help it and started laughing.  That's when Di turned to me with her sad face, and it dawned on her, she had called SacBarb Mary..........AGAIN!!!!!  She had been calling SacBarb Mary since we arrived, but when Mary finally got into town, she thought she had everything straightened out!  I guess not~

  3. LOL at all that especially loved how Jodi licked ur face!

  5. Good morning BEBBI!! You were a joy to meet. And thank you.....the pic from the restaurant Saturday night is one of my fav's!!!

  6. Good Morning Hooters!

    Congrats on 1st JodiHO!

    I didn't get to spend quite the same amount of time licking faces (other than Mr. Goldies) because of a family obligation in Chicago- BUT it was everything Tina~ said.

    My biggest problem with names was I was always thinking of the blog name then I had to translate to real. Linda was always lin....da! Not to be confused with Lynn.

    I enjoyed every minute with all the owls and there is some wicked humor going on.

    Bear was the exact same as I remember him (except not as many cocktails this time)as he was in San Fran a few months ago. That made me happy.

    Here's the biggest compliment of all. Mr. Goldie said that he would go again! He loved you all. I think Dianne has a special place because of her football knowledge though!!

    Safe travels to everyone today...

  7. Oh, and I also need to mention that Carol is just as fabulous in person as she is on this blog!

    I also forgot to tell you that I gave tina~ an orgasim- and I never even touched her!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  8. GOLDIE - I about fell of my chair!!! Sorry I took off early yesterday....(hanging head in shame)...but I just wanted to get a jump start, and I also wanted to not push my windup car as fast as your MR. SPEEDRACER!!! Thanks again for being such great hosts on Friday night!! I love you both ♥

    ReplyDelete
  9. BARB, LYNN & SLIN - Thanks again for letting me in on your "3 some" Thursday night!!

    MARY - And thank you for taking a leap of faith and letting me room with you. So sorry I kept scaring the crap out of you when I came in the room....or hollered down the hallway ;)

  10. Jodi is the prettiest today. It was a pleasure letting you "horn" in on us. I am so glad I got to meet you. ♥

    Bebbi, Thanks so much for taking our food orders. BTW, Lynn, J/L and I had lunch at Giordano's yesterday and we thought of you.

    Goldie & Mr. Goldie, Thanks so much for being the gracious hosts on Friday night.

    Carol, Thanks again for arranging this meet and greet. Without your efforts this would have never happened. Luv U. ♥♥♥

  11. Tina LMAO still at Di calling Sacbarb Mary! I just told Sacbarb it must be because "you Italians and Mexicans" all look alike. :)

    Goldie and to think when Mr. Goldie told me he liked me the best I belived him! Oh wait Sacbarb just said he told her she was his favorite. What J/L? He gave you the same line too???? Well that Romeo!

    I will see you all on the other side of the US soon and will hit the blog when I get home much later tonight.

  12. Deedee I received your lovely gift! I have to say our tour guide thought it was so hot......he now has it as a souvenier!! I can't remember what it was dangling from when I left him.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Tina, I forgot to comment on your blog, ummmm, but I'm not quite sure just what to say. Maybe I should just change my name to Mary...

    ReplyDelete
  14. I am sorry the meet and greet is over. I had such a great time and enjoyed each and every Owl that was able to attend.

    I guarantee that SacBarb and I will be very vigilent at watching our flight schedule tonight at the airport. We barely lived down our earlier little mishap.

    I want to give special thanks to SacBarb and LynnD for not beating me about the head for all the coughing I did in the middle of the night.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Great summary, Tina!

    Will post more later... but right now... have to head to the airport AGAIN (off to Phoenix for a conference)...

    ReplyDelete
  16. I can't write much on this phone but I will have plenty to report when I get home on here.

    Ps Mr Goldie didn't have to tell me he liked me best---it showed in his eyes

    ReplyDelete
  17. Dianne. Did it show in the blind guy's eyes, too?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Good Morning!

    TINA: I loved hearing about Di's name exchange. I'm sure there are many more funny stories to tell, can't wait to hear them! And the pics..omg..they are GREAT! I keep checking for more uploads on FB..I know that all the pics will be terrific!

    JODI: You are so beeeuuutifulll in First!

    GOLDIE: Wicked humor is the best! ;)

    J/LIN, BARB and LYNN: Safe travels! Take a day to recoup..and then write those blogs!! :D

  20. Hi there Hooters! I can't believe I slept round the clock! I only meant to take a little nap and slept for almost 12 hrs!
    I shouldn't have ordered that last drink the night before flying home! Whabby was having an exotic drink that I HAD to try! I got up early the next morning, and I was still buzzing! The flight was a little bumpy of course! Thank goodness it was short!
    The "Mary" mix-up was hilarious! When I saw that Diane was not looking at me when she called my name, I leaned back so she could direct her call to Barbara."Mary, Mary", Barbara never looked her way. I could not believe I was witnessing the whole thing lol!!!
    Diane you were to precious!! Mr Goldie was not the only one who fell in love with you! Shhhh, don't tell Tina, but you were my favorite! :)
    Goldie, you and Mr Goldie are a perfect match. I loved all the "Vegas/gambling stories. I told them to my Hubby, he loves that stuff!

    Barb it was good seeing you again. You are a true lady and good sport. Did Linda tell you what I said when I picked up the container
    in the morning?

    Jodi,you were a fun roomie. I loved the tater salad!

    Bebbi, I had a feeling Tina was taken by you. She is soooo fickled lol!!

    I better get busy, I have a meeting tonight and I need to do some paperwork.

    ReplyDelete
  21. ok, I am still mixed up, "LynnD, Justlin", "Goldie", "MO", I kept called Beverly "Bebbi",Thank God "Carol", was Carol lol!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mary. You still don't know who I am! That was LynnD who gave you your container.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Just_lin, I know lol, that's why I wrote that following disclaimer! oy vey!! So sorry! I love you no matter who you are! lol!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hi Everyone!!
    Got back about an hour ago from having lunch with Mo....she slept thru breakfast!! LOL
    She's on her way home......
    Sure was fun spending time with her.

    Zonaaaaaaaa!!!!! Still LMAO about the sneak attack phone call!! GOTCHA!
    You have a great laugh...Miss Shy!?
    So nice to finally hear your voice.

    Tina, love the story about Di mixing up Mary and Barb...

    Looking forward to reading more from all of you.

    Jodi, Mo said your potato salad was delish!
    She def had a good time with all of you.

    Have to get ready to pick up g-daughter from school and the Mr. from work.
    I'll try and stop in later...if this darn computor let's me. Having trouble getting to this site and a few other's. Have to get the Mr. check it out.

  25. Sacbarb: Your welcome. Was Gioranos any good? My daughter's boyfriend recommended it highly. Did you have the stuffed crust? LOL at changing your name to MARY..you really are taking that well.

    Zona: Yes, my smiley personality..it gets me in a lot of trouble and is particularly annoying in the morning, ask anyone. ;)

    Mary: You are right Tina is fickle. She's been texting me all day and she is quite a distraction...tall, beautiful, cool drink of water...! I am in love with several of you Owls. Secretly of course. Shhh..it's don't ask, don't tell. ;)

    Okay..back to work..I miss you guys. :)

    Tina: Did George call you? haha.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I said "stuffed crust" and meant deep dish" omg, I am senile already.

    ReplyDelete
  27. It looks like you all are still buzzing after your weekend together. The Nest will never be the same!

    Mary's SacBarb, or SacBarb's Mary. Somebody joined a threesome. Did they make the threesome, or did it then become a foursome? Everybody loves Bebbi, Tina's got a tasty face. Mary's got a great rack and Jodi's got the best taters. Whab's kissing girls and Mr. Goldie loves everyone. Carol moves mountains, Mo shoots one-liners.

    Do I have it right so far? This is all much more complicated than anything I've done all week.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Shirley: I want to particularly say that I love your accent and your voice and I can't wait till you can come to the next one. OR, we all just might have to fly or drive (ROAD TRIP!) to Canada (get your passports, ladies!)...to make it easier for you. Halifax is so beautiful and the friendliest people in the world. Mr. Fog is weird though..how he rolls in to town. It's really like a person.

    ReplyDelete
  29. LOL bonachichi: Good summary..!

    ReplyDelete
  30. need to add to that that Mary had the best "cookies".. Tina couldn't keep her hands off them...that and LynnD's M&M that weren't all green...(but I will have to say I enjoyed Lynn's M&M's far too much too...).

    ReplyDelete
  31. The funniest thing was that no one wanted to room with me. The whole farting/traveler's butt scared the beejeezus out of everyone..LOL. hehe...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Tina: Oh and one more thing..how'd you know I came? I tried to hide it so well.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Bebbi, Tina like my cookies and Boobies! She couldn't keep her hands off of me geesh!
    My pics are up on FB.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I hate to break it to you ladies, but Mr. Goldie loves ME best! (at least I hope so)lol

    I just realized that I never got any of Jodi's tater salad!! How did that happen? Oh well, Jodi will just have to save me a dish full the next time she makes it.

    Birdee, I'm glad that Mo made it for lunch!

  35. Hi Owls!

    I just wanted to tell you all how nice it was to meet you in Chicago this past weekend. You are such a wonderful group of ladies (and a Bear).

    I think I may have a secret crush on each and every one of you.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Annie. It was great to meet you, too. Thanks for taking the group photo for us. You did a super job. I hope you will continue to visit us here on the blog.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hiya Annie, and welcome! Hope the Owls you met didn't try anything sneaky with you. They're a sneaky bunch.

    I am.... leaving again. Anyone surprised? I've been here almost 6 hours, after all! See you tomorrow, in the USA!

    ReplyDelete
  38. J/L and I are hanging out at the hotel til we have to leave. Our flight is scheuled to take off at 8:45. Since we already checked out I had to ask for special permission to use the computer in the business center.

    Mary, I am seriously considering changing my name so Dianne will remember it.

    OK, J/L just said we should leave forthe airport. We don't want to miss our flight. :)

  41. Good evening feathered friends!

    I made it back to my humble abode safe and sound. Damn, it was a long drive!! But so worth every mile of it ;)

    GOLDIE...thanks for the message. I was sorry to not be able to hug you and MR. GOLDIE good-bye. BTW, I asked my JON and he said your John told him I was his favorite :)~

    CAROL...how would you know if I snored, you were out before I fell asleep!! Maybe what you were hearing were your teeth chattering in the cold room and not my snoring!

    JODI...I think what I said to BIRDEE was OMG, that potato salad was the best I ever had!

    ANNIE...so nice to see you post! It was a pleasure meeting you and your absolutely GORGEOUS family. And thanks for taking the picture with 3732 different cameras!

    ZONA...shy? shy? shy? I'm still trying to figure that out!!!

    And just to clarify, there must have been corks in use, because there weren't any atomic farts, gagging gas or bellowing belches as far as I could tell. Then again, my nose was a little stuffed up!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hey, I don't have an accent!...do I?

    ReplyDelete
  43. SHIRLEY...I didn't notice an accent. Then again I couldn't hear very well!! I don't know what they are talking aboot!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. ANNIE - So great to meet you and your family!! Welcome to the nest!

    CAROL - Can't wait to see the video tomorrow!!

    BARB & SLIN - Lets hope you didn't miss this one ;)

    BEBBI - Traveler's butt....ain't that the truth!!

    BONACHICHI - Safe travels back home.

    MO - Glad you enjoyed the potato salad. I was happy to share it with all of you!!

    SHIRLEY - You sound like SHIRLEY to me!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Going to be signing off for the night. I have to go back to work tomorrow.....refreshed. I so needed a break, and I'm glad I got to have it with my sistahfriends....WHABBY and yes, that includes you!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Annie! We need an official young woman to join our group..every consider being a Junior Owl? hehe. :) Wouldn't you all agree that Annie needs to be our "Owl in training!". :) Your family looks wonderful. It was nice to have met you.

    ReplyDelete
  47. ummmmm.....that was ME....I was posting and didn't even pay attention that Sam was logged in....CRAP!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. BEBBI!!! I guess you stole my 50...but I'm happy to share!! Oh, and just for the record I was the YOUNGEST HOoter this weekend. No fair that everyone else dyes their hair so I appear to be the "Grandma" of the bunch ;)

    ReplyDelete
  49. BEBBI....that would be my daughter!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Jodi I agree about the hair dying. That doesn't do a thing for them. They still look really old and you look by far the youngest! I would say no more than 27? Maybe 27 1/2?

    ReplyDelete
  51. SHIRLEY....why thank you ma'am!! And I'm lmbo!!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Well I don't dye my hair. I do just occasionally add grey highlights.

    tee hee hee

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hey Jodi, Got it, I figured that out..heheh. that it was your daughters account. :) And I was wondering who the youngest was. Good to know..well, now we need to add a new fledgling into our little owl group. And the nice thing is, we all got to approve of her in person before she came in here! What do you think Annie?? Wanna be an owl/??......thinking maybe she'll write a few blogs on the slow days too..!

    ReplyDelete
  54. LOL Mo, there's a perfect example of those awesome and infamous one liners!

    I love my box of color, my mother taught me well.

    ReplyDelete
  55. back from my meeting and knee high in paper work. I forgot tonight we had elections. I keep trying to get out of being treasurer, but I keep getting out voted lol!

    Annie, how nice to have you drop in. I am sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you. You have a sweet family. Thanks for being such a patient photographer! I too hope you come back to our blogs.

    Barb, I like your name. Diane will just have to cope lol!

    Back to my paperwork....

    ReplyDelete
  56. BEBBI...I have to do 1 liners...not smart or funny enough for a 2nd line :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Good Morning Owls. J/L and I made it to my house...we didn't miss the plane and we got wonderful treatment on our flight thanks to Goldie's tip.

    Lynn D had some problems with her flight(s) but as of 12:30 she was half way home from the Seattle airport.

    We are pretty tired so we're gonna hit the hay. See you all in the morning or maybe afternoon. Good night and sweet dreams to you all.
