The Ghost Suite

Monday, May 20th, 2013

(So I may have forgotten to publish the post explaining I would be gone all last week for a work conference…whoops.)

I’ve never thought I would be someone who would be deathly afraid of ghosts. I mean it’s just a ghost right? HA! Was I wrong.

I had the pleasure of being upgraded with my work love to a suite at the hotel we were staying in during the conference. Now, this wasn’t just any suite, this was a presidential one- 2,000 square feet, two separate bedrooms with two separate spa bathrooms, a full living room, dining room and kitchen, and a patio. When we walked into our room we couldn’t believe our luck. We spent the first ten minutes literally doing this around the entire suite:

The suite was decorated with all sorts of antiques and had a very weird feeling to it. We thought it was cute that there was a plaque on the door naming the room. We even took a picture with it.

Being the idiots we are, we never thought to question just why it was called the ghost suite. Luckily someone thought it was weird and did some googling….

 ”A few months after the Dohertys moved into the apartment (1930), their maid died in the night. A short time later, the Doherty’s daughter, Helen, also died in the suite. The Dohertys moved out, and the apartment remained unoccupied for almost 50 years The apartment was renovated into a hotel suite. But guests and hotel staff began to tell stories of faint voices, cold breezes, doors slamming shut and opening of their own accord, and televisions and lights turning on and off on their own. Guests in adjoining suites would complain of noises coming from the closed and empty Suite 870. Other occupants say furniture would be found out of place, and hotel staff said their housekeeping carts would move on their own.”

OMG. We thought it was pretty cool actually. Until it was time to sleep.

I can honestly say we slept with almost all the lights on in the place. I even went as far as keeping the TV on low the entire time as well (I’m very scared of the dark in general so the idea of being in the dark with a ghost seriously freaked me out).  The first night I awoke at 3:53. I sat up in my bed, turned on the lights and held onto my phone watching the minutes go by thinking, come on 4:01 please come fast. When 4:00 hit, my heart stopped…. Naturally nothing happened.

The entire time we were there I think I got a total of 4 hours of sleep. Any noise freaked me out. On the final night I did hear something really bizarre I cant really explain. It was freaky.

I never really thought I believed in ghosts but i guess I do…

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

Any experiences with ghosts??

Internet Funnies…Again

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

Life has been crazy for me lately so I don’t have much to post. Which is good news for you considering you don’t have to listen to my rambling AND you get so see some funny crap…or at least things I find funny.

I seriously cannot stop laughing at this dog.  The caption for the photo when I found it was “My dog is not very good at hide and seek.”

I’m throwing this picture in just to make you feel weird:

This kid who wrapped himself in a rug at a restaurant and he got stuck.  And that his parents didn’t help him out.

Need some inspiration?

Another kid being a brat at a restaurant:

This in general:

Who didn’t want to dress like this when they were little?

 

I love that this made it into a newspaper:

This kid who apparently chased people around like this in Europe while studying abroad:

And I’ve been meaning to post this gif since I found it about a month ago… I don’t even like cats and this cracks me up every single time I watch it:

Wait, I need to show you some Nic Cage obvi:

Why hasn’t BuzzFeed offered me a job yet?

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

Your turn!

Giggling All Over Da Place

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

It’s rainy and dreary here in Chicago. And it’s Thursday, not Friday. This all means I could use a laugh so I’m going to share with you some of my favorite funnies this week.

How great is this “family” picture?

 

This family was so not having whoever was taking the picture trying to make fun of the sleeping lady:

Looking for a place to stay? This place looks delightful!

In the market for a new snack?

I want to take whoever’s exam this is, I would ace this class:

Who’s looking for some new dinner china?

If you haven’t seen the website: Reasons My Son is Crying. Do yourself a favor and do it now. Hilarious.

Puppy Avengers!

And naturally, we have to laugh at this again:

That is honestly probably my favorite thing on the Internet to date. It never fails to make me die laughing.

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

Your turn! Share something funny!

Question For Ya {9}…

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

I like Sex and the City sure, but I wouldn’t say I love it.  I’ve watched some episodes but have never been interested in watching the entire series.

My group of friends here in Chicago could not be more different than the characters on Sex and the City. That’s not to say Linds and I didn’t spend an hour yesterday debating who would be who on the show.  I think it was so difficult for us to assign friends to the roles because none of us are remotely like the people on the show. I mean we go out to buy squash, not martinis.

But that got me thinking, what is it about girls and figuring out what character we are on Sex and the City?  I’ve had so many conversations about this with different groups of friends but yet I’m not even that big of a fan-but I like to know which character I am and which ones my friends are. What is it about this show that women (even those of us not really interested in it) are so drawn to?

Is it the fact that we all want to have that group of girlfriends we can turn to and want people to know we have that group? Is that really our go-to group of women we look to assign our roles to? But when I think about it, what other group of women are there for us to chose from? Golden Girls, is a bit too, well old for me,  I don’t know much about Charlie’s Angel’s, I guess we could count Friends but that’s more of a group including men too. Which means we’re left with Sex and the City-except I’m not like any of the characters and neither are my friends.

So we spent entirely too long debating this and for what reason? I have no clue but I’m guessing you’ve done this too.

So my question for you this week: which character on Sex and the City are you?

After much debate, this is what we came up with:

In other groups of friends however, I highly doubt I would be Samantha which is also interesting to think that  your character probably changes based on the friends your considering in the foursome.

{Note: After we decided who was who, I realized I had mistaken Charlotte for Miranda for the entire hour which meant we had to go back again and re-do the entire thing over. I’m still not sure I know who is who…}
