and... for the first time i had to work on the weekend! i felt terrible... but i think we still managed to have fun. i know i did! i just wish i could have done more with her.
i'll have to fill in everyone on the weekend later... my friend lauren is getting ready to pick me up for some happy hour cocktails... i'm sad - she's actually moving back to ca on the 22nd! booooo for moving back!
ok, back to caitlin's weekend.... it started off so so stressful!! caitlin was flying in to chicago the same time i was flying back from my florida sales training trip. we were supposed to get there right around the same time and it should have worked out perfectly. however, united didn't give a crap about my plan and my flight was delayed for 6 hours (8 hrs in the airport) and then they finally cancelled it b/c the pilots had gone over their allotted hours. greaaaaat. b/c my boss and i had to give a conf call 10am cst, there was no flight that would get us home in time and no flight we could get on before 2. ridiculous. even that flight was late. arghhh. so frustrating. so, i called caitlin and told her what was up. luckily our aunt and uncle live here and we (after lots of back and forth) were finally able to work it out for them to pick her up at the airport and stay at their place for the night. i felt terrible, but what the heck could i do?!?! it wasn't like i wanted or made this happen... so anyways, i finally get back thursday night... so we hung out that night and then the next day i went to work and caitlin went for a run and kept herself occupied with whatever it was she felt like doing.
we ordered in on friday and watched some movies on tv and then i got up sat to train and she slept in (lucky!). when i got home, we showered and got dressed and headed over to bucktown/wicker park for brunch with devon. we went to hot chocolate and had amazing food: warm donuts, pancakes, and other amazing food items. yum! after brunch, dev, caitlin, and i hit up bcbg cause it was across the street and spent way too much time trying on a thousand dressed, but it was fun! and then i needed to come home and prepare for my first presentation at work that i had to give. my boss was going to be there so of course i put way too much pressure on myself. my aunt and uncle called to see if we would like to go to a movie and dinner. so we joined them for 'you dont mess with the zohan" which was actually very funny and then went to an italian place for dinner. afterwards, we headed home and for bed (it was late, you know like 12:30am!!) on sunday, i had to work on the presentation and so my uncle and caitlin went to the printer's row book fair for a few hours and then came back to see if i wanted to go to dinner. well, i couldn't b/c i had stressed myself out so much i'd had a break down while they were gone on the phone with my mom... so i really did need to work. so they went to dinner and so very nicely brought me back some gnocchi (seriously 3 italian dinners in a row is ridiculous) and i gave my presentation to caitlin who was a great listener. and then at some point, we decided we needed chocolate. i didn't have any so caitlin being the wonderful cousin she is made a run for cvs and a couple of candy bars and we sat on the couch, watched some tv, and ate our candy bars...
the next day, i did my presenation. i kicked ass so all that pressure and anxiety was really for nothing... that's what always happens to me though. so anyways, then i came home from work and had to take caitlin to the airport to catch her flight and then pack to get ready and go on my trip. i can't remember where the heck i was going... i was so sad to see her go!!!
