Saturday Roll Call

 Good Morning,
 
It is the last weekend of September.  The only reason I am bringing this up is that the  holiday baking supplies are already taking up space in the large grocery stores. Could we please get through Halloween first?

I  have come to the concludion,  That I really shouldn't take my hubby to the store with me. . Over 1/2 of what we bought was exclusively for him. Soda, chips, donuts, candy bars tomato juice, cereal,  orange juice, plus a few more. Just for me, power bars and crystal light. And he questioned if 
I really needed those! We also bought some real food.

What are on your plans for today?  I am going to stay in the house and finish the cleanup of the bedroom! Then hopefully start on another.

Have a great Saturday,
Hugs,
Lisa

 HI Lisa and IL Friends,

I am sitting here in my robe and a wool hat. It is cold in my house this morning. It is time to bite the bullet and turn the heat on. I have fought the urge long enough. It seems the cool nights are here to stay.

I am doing a 5K walk this morning for a boy with cancer in Pilcher Park. Afterwards there is a small fest with a  live band called the Baloney Brothers. Later, we are going to Lincoln Square for Octoberfest in Chicago. I'll be the designated driver since I do not drink since the WLS.

Nancy, my hubby is the opposite, If I can get him to drive with me to the store, he stays in the car and plays with his IPAD.  He hates stores and shopping. It's hard to stay on the diet when there is delicious junk food in the cupboard. Thankfully, the Michigan apples are here and I have a bunch to snack on when the snack fever hits. 

Have a great day everybody.

Blessings,

Sharon

Hello everyone

Yesterday I had a change of plans after work.  They let us go home early (with pay) so my friend invited me to go with her to go get her iphone5...up in Northbrook.  I figured..why not.  So I went with.  It took about an hour and half to get there.  Then we stayed walked the mall and had a slice of cheese pizza (those slices are big...I didn't fini****).  I did come home and do groceries afterwards.

After seeing my friend's iphone...I WANT ONE!!!  I am coveting her phone.  Her phone makes my phone look ugly ( I have iphone4)...I will get one very, very soon!!! 

So my day today will be making up for what I didn't do yesterday.  I also want to wash my car and work out since I didn't yesterday (I don't count walking the mall).  I have a bunch of chores to do too....so I will busy.  Buts good...busy girl means less time laying around and eating.

Sharon-  At the gym I do 45 minutes on the elliptical (I am working my way back up to running again) and I do 30 minutes of weights and then I stretch...I love the stretching. 

Nancy- poor Beemer.  I hope the vet has some answers for you.

Lisa- your Hubert stories just make me giggle. 

Well I am going to eat breakfast and relaxa bit before I start my day...Enjoy your Saturday...it's supposed to be great weather...bye.

We took a chance and went by train to Medinah and were able to get 2 tickets @ a well reduced rate. (100 & 125) the higher 1 was because of the access level I to an international pavillion. The tickets were face value of close 2 $300.

Tired and having a drink b4 getting on the train home. Regreting that we did not drive to the station.

 you got a good deal. Now you can't say you never went out there.

As we were crossing Irving Park Rd at the light (going towards the train station) we saw 3 cabs at the light, got into one and I directed him to our house.

I have always wanted to be on the grounds of Medinah and am still pinching myself and am overwhelmed.

 Drooling

Still pinching ourselves. It only took me 59 years to get on the grounds!
