It's better thanks! I am now in the man cave and secured.

Hi all,
Sheesh, Sandy, it's not cool that MIL walks in and acts like she owns the place...just learn from her...say to yourself, "Thank you God for such a wonderful example of how not to act when I'm a MIL..." what a gift she's giving you (just kidding). Just goes to show you that Jim must be an even more great guy, considering what he must have put up with years ago...

T, I like the faith you have in your DD...she sounds like she knows how to take care of herself...

We went to the Cubs game today...neighbors took us...row 9 behind the Cubs warmup area for the pitchers...it was cool, and they won!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Morning all! Thanks for the words of encouragement! Trish, thanks for the call, I sure needed that!

We're off to the Cubs game today. Not sure how long we'll hold out due to the cold weather and possible rain. We haven't been all year so off we go! Hopefully they'll win for us like they did for Deb!

Sandy & Jim .. have a great time ... remember to snuggle up if it gets too cold ...

UPDATE:

submitted my 2nd ap for the fellowship - mailing off the paperwork (with signature) today with CD - hopefully I burned it correctly ... I 'tested' it a couple times on my computer .. and the slide show started out just fine!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

Mornin' everyone! Well, I'm still sniffly and stuffed up. It's got to be allergies because nothing hurts but my head. As long as I take Benadryl every 4-6 hours I'm good but it sends me night-night! I am enjoying the extra sleep, though. I slept right through supper yesterday and was too sleepy to get anything to eat when I did wake up. I figured I'd be famished when I got up this morning but I'm not. Just wanted coffee. Hey, maybe I've found the secret to losing weight and keeping it off. Just sleep all the time!

After yesterday's monsoon today is supposed to be nice. Next week cannot get here fast enough for me. We're forecast to have lows in the upper 50's and highs in the upper 70's! Heaven on earth for me! I'm not expecting it to last but I'm sure going to enjoy it while it's here!

I need to go to Rite Aid and p/u a prescription but that's about the extent of my activities today. Oh, I bought some strawberries and whipping cream at the store and walked right out and forgot to buy the pound cake! I guess I'll go pick that up, too.

Ya'll have a wonderful weekend!

Morning all Allergies in full swing here too. On the plus side, haven't had that head noise yet. Seems weird that it's better when my sinus issues are worse. At least I get to see the eye doc on Tuesday to talk about the issues I've been having, so we'll go from there.

Enlisted hubby's help for the powerpoint I had to do. If it wasn't for the apple filled house, I'd attempt to do it myself. But he likes to help and contribute to my art insanity - so it works out.

Sandy, don't blame you for taking over the man cave. Hope you guys are able to have fun at the game

Kelly, hope the allergies clear for ya soon.

Sarah, have fun on your weekend off

Trish, hope the DD gets the roomie thing figured out

Vonn, you go girl!!!!

Wiz, Good luck!

Everyone,

Thanks everybody!

If I did get this job it would be great. It's only a few miles from home and of course Nicor has GREAT benefits. It doesn't pay as much as my last job, but I think the benefits and lower stress would be worth it.

hey WIZ ... that's great!! you have the stamina to work full-time?? I wish I could ... but, they wouldn't like me showing up whenever, stay a little while .. and then leaving early .. or better yet, not coming in ...

yesterday - I was doing fine (like when we got together) .. then all I did was do some grocery shopping - ran into a friend and stood and chatted a bit - and got home ... when I got home, I was in so much pain that I had a 'meltdown' and couldn't do anything .. and was getting very frustrated to just do the simple things ...

better today - went to my friend's quilt shop ... for 'therapy' ... and feel LOTS better!!

Jenn .. thanks .. and hope you feel better!!

UPDATE

this may be the end of August ... but, the weather thinks it's the end of October!! ....
