Good Morning,
The good news is that the guys are here, waiting for the concrete to be delivered, the bad news is we have no ho****er.
I had ho****er when I took my bath at 11 last night, but Hubert had none this morning, when he wanted to pour ho****er into his thermos. So, we will have to wait until he gets home, and the comcrete is dryed, to get down there.
Concrete just showed up :)
So, it will be an eventful day.
What is everyone doing today?
Hi there,

Hello Peeps,
This weather can only be described as delicious! No humidity, sunny.... warm and who can ask for anything more?
Happy Birthday Crystal
Crystal, I know you dont believe this, but you sound like you are happy again...........You worked so hard to get here. I am so proud of you. What a lovely way to start a new year.........happy in your skin....happy in your -2lbs skin. Wonderful.
I went to the Bolingbrook Farmer's Market last night at the Promenade. The CSA who I buy my meat from has a booth there. I got my eggs and lots of meat. Not only is it the nicest, liveliest farmers market I have ever been to, but they also have a free concert and last night they had an ABBA tribute. What a hoot. It goes from 4p to 9p and I stayed for about an hour and then headed to my daughter's house and got to tuck the grandbabies in. It was so sweet.
Yes, Lisa my new job is a 40 hour per week gig. I tried to find something part-time but I told myself whatever I found first I would grab and this is the one I found. I am so looking forward to having a job instead of a stressful career. Money aint everything.......
Nancy, the bronchitis/cold/hayfever is going around. Mold counts are way up too. Feel better dear one.
Christine, where is your next trip going to be? You and Carla are always on your way somewhere.
Jason, I am hoping you got all your errands and stuff finished by today like you wanted to. Hopefully now you can enjoy the weekend.
Connie, your store sounds homey and lovely. I am hoping to bring my daughter up there. She is the knitter in the family and it will be fun to come up and see what she finds.
Dawn, laying on a beach sounds like just what we all need. After your hard work preparing and doing this sale, you will be ready for some R&R.
Carla, where are you?????????? Hoping you are still enjoying the FL sunshine.
Today I cleaned the church and then came home and tried to get my upstairs wash machine to work....no luck. Will have to call the GE repair dude. Thankfully I also have a washer in my sub-level. I just hate going up and down so many stairs.
Did a bit of food shopping and I was surprised to see so many organics now at Aldi. They even have organic baking stuff. Yippy!
Seeing my friend tonight to just hang and pray together. We are prayer buds and the one thing we have in common other than praying alot is our grandbabies. She is my daughters mother-in-law. She is the biggest bonus from that marriage besides the babies.
Enjoy!
Sharon
Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CRYSTAL! You are my 10 year younger sister in another universe, I swear!
I am busy racing the clock to finish for the Market. My labels for the lip balm are not compatible with my Word program and it is slowing me down. I'd like to get a few more things packaged also. If I sell out, I can take orders. It is my fault for committing so late. I will be ready next month and August. I will just spend a few hours each day creating.
I booked Liv and my flight for July for her orientation. Todd is going to stay behind so flying is actually less expensive for the two of us. She will be busy on campus for a few of the days. I will have time to myself on the beach. Sounds good!
I'd better get back at it. Y'all have a lovely day!
Hi folks!
Today we move some furniture from home to store with Two Men and a Truck. We are trading a friend a huge bookcase for a couch which matches the store colors! We also will have a full size fridge so we don't have to haul coolers daily. I packed a great salad for lunch. I also eat a lot of fruit at this time of year--especially mangoes.
The computer stuff is moving along. If we can print price tags today I'll be a happy camper!
we plan to hit the Farmers market this afternoon followed by an outdoor concert at Edgebrook. Perfect day for this!

Happy Birthday Crystal,
Have fun tonight, a street fest is a lot of fun.
I think we will be able to start construction on the walls of the new basement entry tomorrow. The guys packed up most of their equipment yesterday. This project may actually get finished before we leave on vacation on Aug. 1.
Sharon, what is your new job. Will you work a straight 40 a week?
Connie, Have you figured out the computer system yet?
Dawn, are you still busy making your stuff for the market?
Nancy, has that nasty cold left yet?
Jason, have a great weekend.
I will be cleaning today. With the kids coming to help Hubert tomorrow, I want to be able to do what they need, and be a gofer all day. I have a simple meal planned, grilled chicken sandwiches, slaw, sliced tomatoes, chips and deviled eggs. I may slice a pineapple also.
Have a great day, like Crystal said, the sun is out and inviting.
Hugs,
Hello everyone
Well i got my facial yesterday. It was nice and relaxing. She said my skin is in good condition. Funny I thought it was pretty bad. I could point to many things wrong. But I guess you are your own worst critic. She said I have hardly any blackheads and or large pores. And she said she there is no obvious signs of sun damage. Well I do always wear my sunscreen!!!
Yesterday my boss didn't come into work and what a nice peaceful day it was. Ahhh. Today I am not staying late....I am leaving on time. I am going out with my friends to a New Orleans street fest in Joliet.
And for work today I made some of my homemade dark chocolate brownies. They are very good. And so east to make from scratch. And I am having some.
Oh I lost another 2lbs this week!!! Thats my birthday present to me from me...hahaha!!! The only thing I changed about my diet....I am eating a lot more fruit. At work I have a plate of fruit on my desk and I snack on it all day long.
So what are you guys up to today??? I hear it will be nice no rain!!!
Well time to get going.Have a great day...see ya later. Bye
Hi everyone,
I took a break today and got a pedicure. It was a nice treat. Most of the day I worked at the store. I had. To vacuum--breaking up boxes left cardboard pieces all over the store. It looks much better. I'm really excited about the fingering weight yarn we are carrying. Despite the work I'm having fun.
It sounds like all of you are busy. Crystal, have a wonderful birthday! Glad you got a box from Amanda.
Take care,
Connie

UPDATE- MY BOSS ISN'T COMING IN TODAY....PEACE AND QUIET TODAY....IT'S AN EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT FROM KARMA....SHE'S FINALLY PAYING IT FORWARD...LOL!!!!
Sharon, congrats on the new job. You were lucky to find one so quickly.
Nancy, we have wanted to do that (Canal Boat) with Morgan. I may have a chance this summer. We are going to do one on the Erie canal in August, but I don't know if that one is pulled by mules or not. Hope you are feeling better.
Hugs,
LISA
