I got a scarf for Christmas...like the kind you wear with a nice blouse (not a winter scarf). And I have no idea how to wear one. How to drape it...you know what I mean? I guess I will have to look it up or google it.
Hi Karen,
I voted for Chicago too. I consider Chicago my home and would have loved to see the event there. We didn't have enough votes. Maybe next year.
Take care,
Kathy

Morning all! I really don't have much going on. I am doing a five day pouch test, I went on a cruise last week and I over enjoyed so this week I must go back to the basics to get my head out of the fridge every 10 minutes! It's going really well. I made a pot of chilli I have it in the crock pot simmering, I am going to puree me a 1/2 cup for dinner. I have it kind of brothy so I can make it thin. I am on the second day of it. Tomorrow is soft foods so I can have the chilli anyway as left over, I will make sure to measure it out though!
Well have a great day!

Good morning Lisa and the rest of Illinois!
I am up and getting ready to head to town. Then, I need to come home and mix up a batch of, "Mojito" Sugar Scrub, as I got an order for some.
I have been invited to a meal exchange and am not sure how to accomplish this. It is like a cookie exchange, but with a meal. I am thinking soup or a casserole that can be put into a zipper bag for re-heating? Do we also make dessert?
Last Saturday, Todd attended a beer fest in Madison while I explored the "Willy Street" area. We found a good barbeque place for dinner and then explored a little of Monroe Street. Found a neat store called, "Art Gecko" and he bought me a beautiful scarf.
This upcoming weekend is Todd's company Christmas Party weekend. I have a date with Riley for swimming at pizza at the hotel on Friday night, then the party is on Saturday night and brunch on Sunday. My first sober attendance except for when I was pregnant with Olivia. Fun!
Everyone have a great day......it looks really gloomy here.
Yes, as others have said.....we had a fantastic time at the Chicago OH Conference. We had a few tables together and I volunteered at the clothing exchange. It will return to the area at some point, I am sure.
WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME! Always great to "see" a new person. We share our daily lives on the "Roll Call" and we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Congratulations on your new journey!
Good morning everyone,
How's everyone this morning?
Today and the next two days are going to be crazy for me. I'll be getting things ready for my trip to Arizona this Thursday, I'm looking forward to my trip. When I return back from my trip I'll try to bring back some warm weather for us.
I got to get going now and do what I need to so I don't have to do everything at the last minute. Have a great day everyone.

Hello everyone
I don't have any big plans for the day. I am just doing the normal hum-drum. Which isn't a bad thing. Tonight I have greek chicken in the crockpot. So no big fuss for dinner.
I have finally embraced greek yogurt. I guess because I found some I like. It's raspberry chocolate...and it's raspberry flavor...not big chunks of raspberry. I don't like the yogurt with the fruit...I would rather add my own fresh fruit. LOL. And the best part it's 14 grams of protein!!!
Oh and I still have to post my flourless chocolate cake recipe. And I will be trying a flourless brownie sometime soon.
Well back to the grind. Have a nice day all.
Hi,
What an exciting time for you. Lisa is a bit south and west of the Cicago burbs. I am in the Sw burbs of Chicago in Lockport.
Excited for you.
Hugs,
Sharon
Hi Lisa,
I am taking Wolfie, my cat to be lion shaved today. He is 4 years old and i am going to just go for it. Ive been brushing him 2-3 times per day and I simply cant do it anymore, the hair is overwhelming. So instead of just a bath this poor baby will get a buzz today. Hope his pride survives.
I plan on going to the library and go for my daily swim, other than that.....chores and making dinner.
Yesterday I went to see Selma. it was very sad and i spent most of the movie crying. Beautiful movie.
It looks like the sun may come out again today.
Enjoy this day the lord has made.
Hugs,
Sharon
