Friday Roll Call
Well good morning girls and boys of the IL board. Yeah, it is Friday!!! 
Well, I work by myself today and that is always a good thing because I turn up the music to what I want to listen to.
Well, after work for me it i****ting either the work out room right in my building to either use the eliptical or the treadmill or I will go over to the park district and use their facility. I don't really feel like going out in the cooler air to go over to the fitness center. I like using my work's room when I just like to quick switch back and forth between equipment. If I would do that at the park district they would think I am nuts. Our workout room is empty at 3pm and I have the TV or stereo to myself. Well, that is settled. I talked myself into staying at work for a switch in my routine. 
Anything going on with anyone these next few days? We have a couple of things planned for tomorrow then on Sunday 
we will take the train downtown to our church's Loop campus and attend the service. We are also going to the Art Institute to see an exhibit of the miniture rooms. We also would like to see American Gothic again and some of the impressionist paintings.
Last night we were at our neighbor's house down the block to help plan the yearly block party. We have a neat configuration where two streets connect - there is a grassy island where the streets curve together. This area is about a 60-75 foot triangle area that is perfect for serving food, drinks sitting and gassing all night with the neighbors, moon walk, volleyball, and they run (actually the kids are on their bikes) relay races around it with the little kids, fire pits. The village blocks off the two streets for us with barricades. We also have a local guy DJ for us, sometimes one of the teens has friends that plays music in a band (I think that is what kids call it now adays). There are sack races for the kids and adults, they have a bags tournament, musical chairs. The police come by with a squad for the kids to look at and the FD comes also with the ladder rig for them to also climb on. It is a lot of fun. Anyone can come, it does not have to be just people from the neighborhood. If anyone is interested in coming it is on Oct 20th and it is $10 a family, really cheap. The money goes for the main meat dishes and then everyone that comes brings a side dish.

Gm Chris and Illinois,
Does anyone know how Cindy made out in surgery yesterday?
Lot's of people on this board having surgeries within
a month! That old bench is going to get full fast!
Had a job offer yesterday it pays 28,000 dollars more per year on top of what I already make! Might grab it....but it has its downside! No ins. benefits! Guess I'll figure out what to
do later......might not have a choice later!
Dawn are you getting ready for your trip? Lucky!
Christina you are killing that scale!
Hi Kim miss you!
Karen you are killing that scale too!
Janet hope you are feeling better.
Miss Lucy.....No more PS chat? LOL
How's that love life Shelley? And where are you? Busy?
Good luck on those Interviews Ronna
Dee, Wish I could have the love of reading like you!
Lisa getting ready for surgery on the 17th? Finally?
Monica you're getting there, only half way to go!
Chris thanks for taking care of all of us on this Illinois board.......
Hugs Pam

Hi ya all. Busy weekend for me, so I decided to do a run by. DH gets off work early today, then we are going shopping for our two great niece's birthday party tomorrow. We may have to do a Starbuck's run..lol We also are going out to dinner with my father-in-law and the wicked step mother-in-law.
Saturday we have the birthday party, and a last BBQ to go too. Sunday we have church, and then DH is going to a haunted mall for dinner. He won it from the local radio station. I will be forced to stay at home, read, work on my cross stitch, and watch Desperate Housewives...lol
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
Dee
Good Morning IL!! It looks like it will be a nice day today. I have to work, of course and then when the boys get home I will take Tyler and Jacob to their dad's house for the weekend. Other than that and homework, nothing planned for today.
Saturday I will do some sort of exercise and more homework and housecleaning.
Sunday we are heading to Clinton WI for my 2 nephew's birthday parties. The whole family will be there so that's neat. We will pick names for the Christmas grab bag too.
I hope that everyone has a great day.
Becky, come out more and play here...it's a great group of friendly and warm people!!
Monica
Good Morning and Happy Friday!!
I really like the cool mornings but if it gets any colder I'm going to be in trouble. 
I stay cold all the time so winter is not so pleasant for me. I have to trade in my 5x coat I wore last year, so I'll be on the hunt for a new one this season. It's going to be a long day for me.... I have to close the restaurant tonight so I will not be out of there until 1am' ish then have to be back at my day job at 6am. UGH!
Pam.. Still holding at 209. I had to step on the scale twice yesterday to make sure I was reading it right. LOL
Hope Cindy did well yesterday.. Lots of people joining the losing side in the next six weeks... Yahoo!
Have a great day everyone!
Christina
