Beth,
I'll be in Chicago from 7/31 thru 8/2. Wanna hook up? ;\)

As for my boss, she lives about a 5 minute walk from me so I told her I'd be heading over with a bottle of wine occasionally. She really needs to take time out for some fun in her life and I'm just the gal to do it!!! I think she'll be a much better friend than she was a boss.

My sis will be in FL on Friday. I'm going to give her a few days to scope out the situation and then depending on what she tells me I'll go down before CHI. If it looks like things are stable for the moment, I'll go down after CHI.

And.....nope, not at all self centered or insecure.....just pissy occasionally!!!! However, if you're "that" interested in the day to day drama in my life, I can tell you about how many loads of laundry I did, what I bought at the grocery store, cleaning toilets, taking the dog to the vet, etc. Pretty exciting stuff, I'm tellin' ya!!!
