Queen Mediocretia of Suburbia

Putting the TMI in absentminded

Month: February 2013

  • Tuesday Bullets

    Pope I can see this Pope getting on the helicopter, flashing the peace sign, and then is granted a suspicious pardon from the guy he picks to replace him. Also, when it comes to Pope coverage, Colbert is killing it tonight. Go to colbertnation.com/ and look for the video from 2/26/2013. Itching Tonight, Gary complained…

  • I Am Too YOUNG For This

    I have to learn about Medicare. Seriously. I’m 50. Too young! And it’s too complicated for me already, I can’t imagine if I were 80. It’s on behalf of my brother Dave, who, while only 52, is on Medicare because he’s disabled. We had him all set up for life after Mom died, then he…

  • First Class

    It wasn’t even fifty bucks to upgrade to first class on the one hour trip back from Chicago, so I did. I never fly first class. I now realize if I never take Gary along on vacation I can spend that money on first class for me. Pros: Big comfy seats. First class has its…

  • Millennium Park

    As I say, this is my first visit to Chicago that ventured outside the museum walls. Well, to be fair, one year we crossed Grant Park all the way to Navy Pier, which held no appeal for me. On the other side of the Art Institute (Here There be Dragons) lies the Millennium Park, circa…

  • Chicago: Reviews

    Rev up the Judgemobile! Reviews of how I amused myself in Chicago. With others (the Hot Mom crowd) Cowboy Mouth Concert (three thumbs up): Good God, the floor at the House of Blues is a bouncy wood trampoline when thousands of people jump up and down in unison. The band was good, as always, with…

  • It Could Happen To You

    I stayed at the Hotel Sax (formerly the House of Blues Hotel) Here’s my view: I know! Bad view! And the room was wee. Why did I ask to stay in the “European-sized” Queen room? Because of the brown stuff on the walls below. They described the room as “wood paneled.” Well, it was wood-veneer…

  • New Chicago

    The four times Gary and I have visited Chicago, we visited the museums. Seriously, all I’ve ever seen of Chicago is the airport and Michigan Street. This time, since Gary was not along, I ventured … on to State Street! Two streets under my belt. I am a world traveler. Here’s something you’ll see on…

  • Eggs Benedict at hotel sax

    Please, there should be a rule. Before you top off my coffee LOOK to see if there is cream in it. If there is and you give me more you have just screwed up my careful coffee cream and honestly sugar ratio. The eggs are divine though. Perfect.
