~ Hello ~

Hi there Anyboby up on the north, north side? I live near Antioch.... I work in Highland Park...(the drive tomorrow is going to be fun to say the least with a possible foot of snow ) Hope you all stay warm & toasty! Dawn

hey Dawn ... ahhh ... Bristol -- have some memories from last August there ... well, actually I don't remember all that much!! I go to a few support group meetings up north (Highland Park, Vernon Hills, Glenview, etc) ... I was actually driving in the stuff late last night ... not fun AT ALL. Hope you made it to work on time ... how long was the commute? Karyn

Hey Karyn Sounds like you had a good time in Bristol if you can't remember! It took me near 3 hours to get to Highland Park in the blizzard...was a cool ride minus the idiots....seen my share of people who shouldn't have been driving today I made it on time, in fact..I was the first person to arrive (I was only 5 minutes early) in the entire 30 plus office bldg...pretty darn good!)...then left early came home and shoveled my long drive and got dressed up and went an hour north of here for a party...was a busy day! Hoping my drinking didn't sabatoge my weight loss too severely, with all the physical stuff I been doing...would hate for it to be wasted in tequilla sunrises......LOL. Hope you had a good day....driving or whatever

I wish I could have said my day at the Renaissance Faire was great, but it lasted all of about 30 minutes. I ended up having a seizure at about 10:30am and was taken to St. Catherine's in Kenosha. I hear ya about the drinking thing ... lotsa little calories in them things! (I just got done making sugar free rum balls for a party this weekend!) I haven't had a tequila sunrise yet, basically stick to wine, bloody marys, oh yeah, and a few martinis. I did dump on 4 sips of a kahlua and cream last winter though, so I do try to be a "little" selective! Take care ... glad you had an uneventful snowstorm drive ... Karyn

Ughhhh....too bad you didn't get a chance to enjoy the Renaissance Faire . Maybe next year we can go as wenches I gained one pound...no more drinking for me...I am working too hard to gain weight!!! Sugar Free rum balls sounds yummy!!! I would love your recipe! Have a great day ~ Dawn

if you could share some info on the support groups in the glenview area that would be great. i live in niles and i haven't heard of any. i haven't had the surgery yet but in the process. linda
