Friday Roll Call

Morning/good day to all. It is supposed to be a scorcher again today. Stay in if you can. I have two errands to run during lunch than back to the AC. At least the skeeters by me have gotten better. I was able to go out to the tomatoes yesterday. I got stung by a sweat bee that decided to land in the inside of my elbow and I closed my arm and ZAP and OUCH!. Just a small red mark so far.

Dave is going to go watch the airshow practice down on North Ave Beach. He bought himself a scanner to listen to military and other freq.

Need to get cracking on the work. I have the office to myself, WOOHOO!

Good Morning.

This heat is even starting to bother me. I'm the one who loves summer  and the heat. If we were still working with carnival food units, this summer would of been a killer. People do stay at home when its this bad. Of course, in January we will be conplaining of the snow and blow.

Plans for today is housecleaning, do a few friday errands and stay in the AC. We are going to a Italian place for dinner tonight.

With this heat, I am planning on moving the meet and greet inside. The pool will still be open for anyone who wants to use it. I am looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow.

Stay safe, stay hydrated. Remember, if you are thirsty, you have waited to long for water.

Huggers,
LISA

Lisa, I have an additional cooler if you need it. We are also going to bring some ice. Would you need us to bring any additional lawn or bag chairs?

With this heat, I really don't see us outside. I know, I am having trouble breathing in it, so, thank you, but we won't need any chairs.

Happy Friday the 13th....

The movie yesterday was funny.  If you are in the mood for a funny movie go see The Other Guys. 

Today I am just working.  No plans for the day.  

I have to say I really didn't like the oatmeal.  It was more the texture I didn't like than the taste....yes I am a very picky eater.  It's a well known fact.  So I will be eating Cherrios for breakfast.  At least I tried the oatmeal. 

Well stay cool and have great Friday the 13th!!!

Try the steel cut.  If I make it to Lisa's, I'll try to bring you some to try.  It has a very different texture.

Good Morning All

Day 3 of the liquid diet.....Not sure how many more iced coffee/protein I can drink.   May not like jello after this all over either.

Have to take a state exam today for my job.  I need to pass this test but not sure how I am going to do with my stomach growling during it. 

Last day of work before I go on medical leave.

Hope everyone has a great day and sip those drinks.

Can you mix it up with some tube packet in a bottle of water? That will give you a different taste in the mouth.

Good morning Chris andthe rest of Illinois!

I am working today, taking Liv to the museum, then picking them both up afterwards.  Not sure what else.

I am going to try and sneak away tomorrow and get down to Streator.  I miss my friends! 

I have to agree that the heat is getting a bit tiresome, but It is better than -20 and ice, snow and all that.  When it is cold, I have a hard time staying warm.  When it is hot, I am not TOO uncomfortable.

Noodles & Co. just opened in Rockford and I can't WAIT to get over there.  I am pretty sure that it will be impossible to get into for a while.  Although I no longer eat many noodles of any kind (they just sit like a rock), I still enjoy their soup and salad.  If I have someone with me, I will order a noodle dish with protein, eat the protein and veggies and pawn the noodles off on whomever is with me.  I was so craving "Noodles" that last night, I made Pad Thai.  It was "ok"....but NOTHING like the stuff you get at the restaurant.  So....here's hopeing that their GRAND opening calms down soon.

Everyone have a rockin' day and stay cool and hydrated.  Hopefully, I will see you tomorrow.
