28 Is an Okay Number!
August 1st was our 28th wedding anniversary, whoo hoo! We actually had the day off for a change, and took advantage of it to take the elevated train downtown to Chicago's Loop so we could follow our tradition and eat pizza on our anniversary. If I recall correctly, our first anniversary was spent in NYC, where we ate pizza at a real Italian restaurant, and we decided to keep up the tradition. Even in Pakistan! If we couldn't get to a pizza place there (which happened more often than not, as you can imagine) we made our own pizza for the celebration.
So this time around we were determined to eat at Pizzeria Uno's -- the very first one, started in downtown Chicago. There is an Uno's in my hometown, and it was the place to meet during college and for reunions and such. Now that we have eaten in the famous Chicago Uno's, we shall have to go back for a reminder of what the pizza is like back in my hometown. ;-)
Other than stand outside in the drizzly rain for more than an hour waiting to be seated, and eat pizza that cost a fair bit even though it was the smallest one we could order and still get enough to eat, we walked around some parks and looked at fountains and tall buildings. Sounds boring when you write it, but it was very pleasant, especially since the rain went away eventually and the weather was lovely cool.
Other that that, I've been trying to catch up with myself after having a guest for a week, then another over the weekend (going tomorrow!), as well as recovering from a nasty fall on the pavement that bruised me up nicely and wrenched my shoulder. I was walking fast, carrying a heavy bag of books, and I slipped on something and couldn't catch myself. Nothing broken, and nothing that a heating pad and some rest won't cure, so I guess I'm pretty thankful for that!
