Zimbabwe

Once upon a time I was in Meijer and came across this:

Oh my word!  Can it be true?!  It could be me!!!!   
Dream come true!
Riding on a Zimbabwe, (this is what I call them) has been a secret desire of mine ever since ice skating lessons back in the day! :)  So I immediately signed myself and my bogo up!  Come on Meijer! Pull my name!

Q and A

It's been a loong while since I've done some Q and A, and I'm sure you've noticed the blog has been a little less than inspiring lately...sorry!  So here's some answers for ya!


Q:  Many moons ago Andrea asked, 'How many miles on the Red Fox?' 
A ~ Great question.  Right about 135k. Again, she was a good friend.


Q:  Andrea also inquired about what flavor I had at Young's?
A ~ Another good question.  I enjoyed my personal Young's favorite Cow Patty.  It's a big mix of deliciousness!


Q:  Lindsay asked about the new background
A ~ It's just a template that I customized to my liking.  And the photo collage is compliments of Picnik.


Q:  And no one asked, but I'm sure it just slipped your mind...
A ~ My Flag Football team ended up being 3-5. And the weather was beautiful every time!


Q:  Allison did actually ask for more Puff blogs.  
A ~ Gladly my friend! :)


Q:  And now I ask you: what are you most Thankful for today?
A ~ Good friends!


Happy Week!

The 80's

Question: How did people get anything done in the 80's?!

Yesterday was MJ day at work, I borrowed Michael Jackson's #1's cd from a friend and listened to it all day, including the evening baking session with my bogo.  Here's the thing...when it's on, I cant stop dancing!  Even now as I type, it's on and, I have a little dance going on!  Thriller!!!

Yesterday was also and excellent mail day - I love that! :)  Here's what I came home to: 

Linds says Cafe Sante is a must - I say OK! Happy Saturday, GO Blue!

And Sew...

Add it to the resume! I now can sew...a little! :)  Linds and I had a lesson over the weekend, after a stop at Wetzel's Pretzels - 

This is me - sewing a button on!

Happy Halloween!

Trick or treat! 

I still love Halloween! Costumes, candy, crisp cool air - it's just a fun time!  This year the fun started at work with our annual pumpkin contest.  We have a mystery grab bag item that we have to incorporate into our pumpkin and a theme.  So this year our theme was 'At the Zoo' and our mystery item was chip clips.  Meet Chilly -

Friday night Kari and I channeled our inner Olsen Twin and went as MK and Ashley - we met up with several friends from flag football - 

Saturday morning a group of girlfriends and I ran in the 2nd Annual Alger Heights Halloween 5k; we were OPI Nailpolish - mani/pedis anyone!?

I'm Not Really a Waitress, No Spain No Gain, Lilac My Color?, Diva of Geneva, Pink Flamenco, Miami Beet

Saturday evening brought Trunk or Treat at church - HUGE success! We estimated we had 400+ people! :)  Lots of costumes too -

It was a great weekend, I went to a bonfire too, and smell like it still!  Linds and Marv were in town for a wedding so I spent some time with them.  Now on to the week...It's the last week for Flag Football - 8 weeks sure flew by!  And it's election day!  Get out the vote!

Happy Week Friends!
