brilliant week

And not just because it was my birthday on Friday,  but mostly because Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince came out on Wednesday.  Have you seen it yet?  If yes wasn’t it brilliant?  If not what are you thinking?  get to it post haste!!!  I can’t wait to see it on the imax,  the 3d stuff will be so amazing…………eeeeeeeeek roll on Aug 2nd.

My birthday was fab though,  we went to Chicago for the weekend and stayed in a mega beautiful hotel,  quite by accident….. you see I booked the Hyatt Regency Chicago on hotwire for a dream rate and when we arrived in Chicago we went for dinner and were lucky enough to catch the Puppet bike………..oooh how I love the puppet bike,  it’s basically a trike with a punch and judy style theater attached to it and the puppet master cycles around the Chicago neighborhoods performing with his dancing extraordinare stars……(my favourite being bunny)

Just look at how cute it is,  and how those critters love the dollars…………

so long story short a few hours later we arrived at our guaranteed booked hotel where we were told that they were oversold and given away our room!!!!!!  WHAT!!!!  but not to worry as they were going to put us up in the mega expensive,  mega luxury,  mega cool Park Hyatt on Michigan Ave and they were going to drive us there free to………yaaaaaaaaay Happy Birthday to me.

And good grief you should have seen the room!!! I thought I had died and gone to trendy heaven,  I didn’t want to leave……..ever…….sigh how the other half lives but it was nice to enjoy it for cheap.

And gifts?  well My friend Mathew bought me these little guys

And Mark is buying me this couch from Ikea

Can’t wait to get it,  it’ll be nice to have some room on the couch instead of fighting with the furry faces for a spare patch on our current sofa……they hate sharing.  So that’s been my week………kinda brilliant but a little critter free,  let me ammend that asap.
