Good luck on the basement. Home repair stuff is fun to get done, but a HUGE job! We had our kitchen completely remodeled and we were without a fridge (except for one in the basement), stove, microwave, dishwasher, sink, countertops, flooring or cupboards for 7 weeks! Our contractor was an idiot to make us wait that long! I hope you have a better experience then we did.

As for Chicago, hubby and I just saw it and it was one of the best, most fun, most energetic, dance in your seat movie I have ever seen! I highly recomend it. We will be seeing it again, and when it comes out on DVD you can bet we'll be buying it When we were in NYC, we actually saw it on Broadway and it was fantastic, but the movie added some visual that Broadway could not. Just wonderful.
