Pray for Bebe...


Bebe has to go in in the morning to the vet to have a tooth pulled...
so if you could say a prayer for him...
I know he would really appreciate it..

Foggy here today and colder...
no sun at all...
it was supposed to come out...
but it didn't...

DH came home with a fever and chills...
and just feeling crummy...
so now we both have colds...

Have a great night and I will be around to visit later this week...
I hope!

outlet mall...

DH and I had a little outing yesterday...
we headed north to the outlet mall...

these photos are from their site...
because I forgot my camera...

this mall is in Tuscola, Illinois...
23 miles from here...

it's a very pretty place, but out in the middle of corn fields...
it can be nippy going from store to store...
but we had a great day...

we started off at the Reebok store...
both of us desperately needed sneakers... 
and with that done, we went to my favorite stores...
the kitchen gadget store...
and the Paper Factory...

silicone oven mitts...

wooden spoons...

a medium sized cutting board...
love these, and needed one more...

stainless crock...

measuring spoons, on sale...
all my food has to be measured now, so you can't have too many of these...

and then on to the Paper Factory...
all occasion cards...

that are as pretty on the inside as they are on the outside...

a box of sympathy cards...


bulk blank cards...

a box of blank cards...

a wedding card for a guy that DH works with...
that's in 2 weeks...

and bulk Christmas cards...
seashells...




and santa with polar bears...

the detail inside these cards keeps me going back year after year for them...

and I made DH turn around so I could get his V Day card...
their cards are half off the original price on the back of the card...

I stock up on cards anytime I get up there...

then we went uptown and just drove around to see what had changed in the last 2 years...
yep, it had been that long...
then we hit the drive through at Burger King and home...
I am so happy that I can eat Whoppers!
well, I only do half of one at a time...
but that's better than nothing...

got my blood sugar down to 130s-150s...
so hoping in the next few days, I can have it in the normal range...
70-100...
the sinus infection is back and on day 5 of a head cold...
and the swelling is making vision blurry...
so I can't be on here long...
strains my eyes really bad...
when this gets better, I will be around to visit you all...

have a great day...
we are gray and foggy here...
staying home, staying in, and probably taking a nap after lunch!
