Moving to Chicago

After a 12 hour drive (over 2 days), Tim and I arrived in Chicago, our new home town. We live in a cool penthouse loft on the top floor of a 22-story new building in the South Loop. To the north, we have a great view of the city skyline including the Sears Tower. To the east, we can see Lake Michigan. More importantly, there's lots of windows and thus lots of sun which I love. There are a bunch of dogs in our building. And there's a dog run attached to the building, so we don't have to walk too far.

Westwood vs. Hollywood

We were in Los Angeles so Tim could do some work and then attend a big awards show in Hollywood. No surprise...I wasn't allowed to attend. But here I am, all dressed up to hang out in the W Hotel lobby next to Whiskey Blue, the best (or "only") club in Westwood.

While I hung out in the Lobby of the W Hotel, Tim arranged for a ride to his big party in an Acura MDX through a special promotion offered by the W Hotels and Acura. Here's Tim all dressed up in a tux in front of the Kodak Theatre for the GLAAD Media Awards and VIP Dinner. Can you believe he thought there was going to be a red carpet rolled out for him to walk on?

Tim told me he saw Janet Jackson, Cindy Crawford, Sharon Stone, Ellen DeGeneres, Kathy Griffin, Sally Fields, Rachel Griffiths, Billy Baldwin, Rex Lee from Entourage, Leslie Jordan from Will & Grace, Marc Chery of Desperate Housewives, and more. Well...I'm not sure I can believe him. Here are pictures from the event, but I didn't see Tim in any of the pictures. His excuse was that no cameras were allowed and that he had to check his in after he entered the theatre. Sure...

Well, I think I had more fun in Westwood at the W Hotel since no dogs were allowed at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

Glad we stayed at the W Hotel in Westwood, California

This was my first stay at a W Hotel. I'm glad we stayed here. In fact, I'm wondering why this was my first time. Tim says he loves the W Hotels in NYC. Hmmmmm. Maybe he's been holding back on me.

Suite deal! We were upgraded to a suite. I had my own bedroom and Tim got the couch in the living room/work area. I have to say, I feel pretty cool in this hip hotel.

Westin's Heavenly Bed in Pittsburgh

Wow. Wonderful. Westin's Heavenly Bed. When will Tim buy us one? Would you please stop taking pictures! Where's breakfast?

Tim wants to take a cab to go five blocks, but it's a beautiful day to go for a walk. Can you believe that he actually did? We walked about 20 blocks as Tim took pictures and did research for our other website LoftsinPittsburgh.com.

Here's the view from our room on the 23rd floor of the Westin hotel next to the Convention Center in Pittsburgh.

Sleeping In at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh

Once again, Tim and I went to Pittsburgh for a weekend trip for a Carnegie Mellon function. This time, we stayed at the Sheraton Station Square hotel on the riverfront (Monongahela River). You can see the Fort Pitt Bridge.

While Tim went to some reception, I got to slept in.
