A lot has happened since Feb. for us in Chicago. We moved out of our high rise, and into a nice condo right near the lake. We have a free parking space, full laundry room, jacuzzi bathtub, office, and a very nice kitchen. So far, everything has been great with this space, and have enjoyed meeting new neighbors/friends.
As most of you saw on FB, Jim and I adopted a dog named Goliath from a family that could no longer keep him in their home. We have been tremendously blessed with such a great dog, he hasn't had any accidents inside, he only barks when he feels someone is coming in our apt (& at other dogs' barks...), and is very lovable/sweet. Every day we make sure to take him out for at least an hour walking/running, plus bathroom breaks. He loves going on walks, and doesn't pull hard on the leash very often. He does get excited about other dogs walking by, especially small ones, so that's really only when he barks/pulls hard on the leash. We took him to the vet last week, he's about 60 lbs, we thought he was way underweight, but he's only supposed to stay around 65 lbs., so he won't get much bigger. He has definitely brought joy to both our lives.
I had a falling out with the one and only executive producer at Kurtis Productions back in February. It's a long story of what happened, so I don't feel necessary to explain, but I no longer work there. I still am on great terms with everyone else - my immediate supervisor Matt, the manager Diane, all the editors/producers, and most importantly, Bill Kurtis and Donna. I have worked with BK on a few projects since its happened, so everything is cool b/w him and I. This is just a bump in the road for me, I'll be back working TV soon, but in the meantime I'm making $$ serving tables at Leo's Coney Island, and freelancing with another media company.
Jim quit his job at the small restaurant - Magnolia Cafe. He worked there 3 years and could no longer put up with the owners' vicious wife. It was a long ways coming, and it took him only a matter of weeks to find another job. He now works downtown at a new hotel/restaurant called Sable Kitchen and Bar at the Palomar hotel. It opened a few weeks ago, and has already received rave reviews, so it's going really well, and Jim loves it.
As of now, I plan on making it to the reunion in June. I doubt Jim will be able to make it seeing as he works all weekends, and won't have vacation for a year. Maybe next time!
Love you,
Suzanne
