I haven’t been much in a blogging mood lately, though I think a lot of that has to do with getting through the holidays and stuff. I mean seriously, I’m just now taking down my Christmas tree today. :-S

Brian came to visit me for 5 great days and we spent New Year’s together. On New Year’s Eve we went to  a nice place downtown called Bosco’s. I know, I look like a wannabe Vegas showgirl or something with the feathers on my head.

The whole time he was here it was cold as hell…wait, okay so that didn’t make much sense, but you get the idea. Really though, it was frigid! Though thankfully not until after our walk/climb up Pinnacle Mountain…

…which was awesome! (Looks like a giant squeezing the little girl’s head, hehe)

And our visit to The Old Mill, which Brian also really loved.

And so did I. :-)

We also went to the Old State House Museum, which was free admission and really should have charged something. Seriously, the place was enormous and had a maze of rooms with great exhibits that was set up nicer than some high dollar museums I’ve seen.

Here’s Brian standing next to…well, his body-double? :-| I still wonder if this is coincidentally cool, or if someone needs to catch up with this century maybe? :-P

We took tons more photos, but I’ve never been interested in seeing other people’s museum photos for some reason, so I won’t bore you with ours. I guess it’s one of those things that you’d rather just see in person. Same with zoo photos – they are boring to look at usually, unless you’re the one taking them. Interested in the museum, follow the link above. :-)

And what would any trip to visit me be without going to FLEA MARKETS! At least he actually wanted to go to a few, otherwise I would’ve felt wrong dragging him along, hehe.

And as I have demonstrated in the past, you can find some weird stuff in flea markets, like this ginormous bag clearly made for ginormous giants. Here you can see shopping carts made for hobbit people and here, perverted mannequins.

We also saw Sherlock Holmes, which I thought was good, but not as humorous as I expected it to be. Though, you can’t go wrong with Robert Downey Jr., so it was worth it!

Looks like my next trip to Chicago will hopefully be in April and then again in July (he wants to DRAG me to the Bristol Ren Faire! I’m terrified!) and he definitely wants to come back to Arkansas so we can go hiking up Mount Magazine or some other cool place like Devil’s Den.

Can’t wait!
