Hello everyone

I have errands planned today.  But fun ones.  I am going to Kohls, TJ Max, JC Penneys amd I don't know where else.  Just to bum around and see what kind of Summer clothes are out there.  Then I do some more cleaning and then relax.  What are you guys planning?

Yesterday I bought an ice tea maker.  I did this because I really am not a tea drinker but I do like ice tea.  I want to drink green tea...its supposed to be very good for you.  And good for your metabolism.  

I think I will settle in tonight and watch a movie.   

I do wish I had some outdoor space of my own to go out and enjoy the weather. 

Nancy-  it's the weekend come on here and check in with us.  We miss you

Well Have a good day everyone...see ya later.

Lisa-  My favorite one was the one in Urbana.  It was wonderful and huge.  I hear the one in Bolingbrook is nice.  I have to look it up but I think its on Thursday or Friday evening.  I will have to take a drive over there one evening.  Too bad I didn't have someone to go with.  It would be perfect to go there and then have dinner at the Promenade...like Mongolian BBQ.

Sharon-  Yes he is still there.  I got some ground beef, fajita strips, chicken breasts and pork chops.  I will have to get steaks next time.  I also noticed he has nitrate free lunch meat on his list too. 

The leg still has the marks but it doesn't hurt and does have any signs or symptoms of anything serious.  Like swelling, pain...I will keep an eye on it.  I have a doctor's appointment on the 19th and show him.  If anything happens before then of course I will do something before hand.

My friend at work thinks it's because of my heater.  I have a heater under my desk.  She thinks it's too close to my leg.  So I moved it to see if she is right.

HI Peeps,

Crystal, is the organic meat vendor still at the Joliet Farmer's market in his truck? He has the BEST steaks! And how is the leg? Did you ever figure out what it is???????

I have to check out Connie's pic on FB..........

I was at the zoo yesterday with my daughter, grand babies and about 1 million kids. There must have been 100 busses in the parking lot. Good thing we didnt get there until 1p. It was a zoo until 2p...hahahahahahahaha

Today we have an afternoon wedding and then reception later. What does one do for 4 hours in-between the wedding and reception? I will most likely just go home. Poor out of town guests!

Tomorrow I am going to my grand-daughter's Tae Kwon Do tournamant. It's a surprise, she doesnt know we are all coming to cheer her on for her yellow belt. So cute!

Everyone, enjoy this amazing weather we are having!

Hugs,

Sharon

Good Morning,

I am spending this morning finishing a few small projects that I started this week. Plus, picking up the house ect.

This evening we are meeting friends for dinner, our normal Friday, and tomorrow we are going up to Elburn for Annette's company picnic. We are also going to stop in Ottawa for a flea/ craft sale. It is going to be a nice weekend.

Crystal, I envy the fact that you were able to get to the farmers market. Ours here doesn't start until next week, and there aren't many vendors. I like the one in Ottawa, as well as the one in Bloomington, but my favorite 2 are Dane County in Madison, and The Soulard Market in St. Louis. ( that one has been going since the town was settled.)

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Christine, when is your cruise?

Hugs,

 

Lisa

Hello Everyone

When I left work yesterday I went to the Joliet Farmers Market.  Its not that far from me.  Why I never knew about this place...I don't know.  It is small but it has all of what I go to a Farmers Market for...produce and meat.  They even had fresh farm eggs and cheese.  Honey.  Like I mentioned on Facebook they had homemade bath and body stuff.  They have the normal junk food vendors....nachos, fries.  They had one vendor they had Italian sausage wrapped in a bread with peppers.  I bought that for dinner...and picked away 90% bread.  It was delicious. 

Today I have to go to Target and Walgreens and then to Chipotle...of course.  What are your plans today?  

We had a good day at work yesterday with no bosses it was such a nice stress free day....ahhh.  Probably why I am in such a good mood.  That and the fact it's Friday.

 

I think this weekend might be a low key one.  I can't think of any big plans.  But the next couple weekends I believe I have plans every weekend.  So I should probably take this weekend and get stuff done so I don't have to worry about it later when I am busy. 

Well I better get going.  See you all later.  Bye

Topic: RE: Should I be concerned????

yes. I am going through celluitis right now from a small break to the skin. Think back if you had a skin break that could have introduced a bactirial infection to your body. It is nothing to play with and can be life threatening. 

 

Here is some additional info that I located. The picture on this site looks very similar to your picture. See if any of the info in the article relates to you. I also noted on another site that the blotchy skin could be related to you being cold and something else - sorry for this . . . aging . . . http://blotchyskin.hubpages.com/hub/What-Causes-Blotchy-Skin-on-Legs 

 

PS - I would have it checked out especially if it is a circulation problem like I read on a website.
