I Hate Driving!!

I think I drove more this weekend than all of my driving times combined since I've moved to Chicago. I've forgotten how horrible it is to sit in stop-n-go traffic, and I think my tolerance level and my patience have both gone down, dramatically.

Let's see, my trips consisted of:
2x roundtrips to Schaumberg (love ya Freebs, I'd pick you up again.)
1 trip Schaumberg to Aurora (the WORST traffic on I-88)
2x roundtrips to downtown/Union Station (love ya Jo! I'd pick you up again too!)
Numerous trips to Chinatown

Ok, maybe it doesn't seem like THAT much when I list it out like that. I shouldn't complain so much. Still, I've become accustomed to driving 3-5 minutes from my place to Chinatown (or Ed's Potsticker's).

Parking, however, is quite another ordeal...

It was nice to see so many familiar faces though: Rick, Karen, Asher, Joanna, Auntie Jennifer & Uncle Ken (thanks for dinner!), Tony (congrats! I'm very proud of you! :)), Calvin, and of course, Irene!
