There are some nice economical hotels around the mall. Of the better regular hotels I like Marriott Schaumburg on Martingale and the Hyatt Regency on Golf Road. There is a new Hampton Inn just opening that overlooks Woodfield Mall and surrounded by wondrous places to eat. Plus you can try out the pillows I love so much, just ask for a non feather one.

I looked into the Hampton but the price is better for the DoubleTree. Maybe since it is the same parent company they will use the same pillows.

Congrats. No I didn't get to a craft or fabric store yesterday. My big score Friday was about $90 of Nicole Miller for about $12:joyfull: With one of the pieces I'm going to make a simple princess seamed A line dress and infinity scarf. I may make something for my mother with the other piece. Now if I can only get ahead of my holiday projects:banghead:

You are very fortunate that you know how to sew so well. I can do basic lines but clothing really intimidates me. Do you ever sell what you make or do any alterations? One of our teacher's (now retired) wife ran an alteration shop and he often talked about how he helped her. She had a very steady and profitable business. If I knew how to sew well I would do that on the side for extra Disney money. Do your boys know how to sew?

On Friday some of my Freshmen boys were talking about their second semester schedule and one of the boys said that he was in fashion. One of the other boys started to razz his friend about it. Since they were talking right next to me I stepped in and told them it was really a smart idea to take fashion and learn how to sew well and that it could make an awesome business or side business in the future. I said that people always need things altered or made and people who know how to sew can charge a great rate for that. The boys then stopped razzing the other kid and started talking about how well each other can sew. It was like it was a competition. They are just so weird, when fashion/sewing turning into a source of money for them then they didn't think it was dumb. Sorry for the long side story.

Turkey farms are very plentiful in our area as are wild turkeys. Yesterday as I was driving to my sister's house I passed a turkey farm and there were 2 wild turkeys in the field by the turkey farm. It was like the wild ones were taunting the ones in the farm with their freedom.

I also saw a bald eagle by the road, it was fun to see it swoop away.

So, yesterday evening/night was fun! :)
Spent a good amount of time at the soft opening of a new brewery here in town. It was started by the husband of a co-worker of DD's.

Forgot to get pics of the brewery itself :facepalm:, but, here's my 5-beer flight, which were all very good...they have definitely done their homework to dial these recipes in...!!!!! :hungry:

After that, we headed to So Co (South Congress Avenue) and Guero's Taco Bar for some dinner...

DWifey's Tamales, and my Fish Tacos...!!! :hungry:

You can barely see the bottom of my Bloody Mary and my Dos Equis in the top left and right, respectively, of the pic...! ;) :)

Hubby, and I have been taking a morning walk, since the weather is still pretty nice. Not until 10 A.M. though, it was in the mid 40's earlier. Fall in the morning....spring in the afternoon. Typical weather, for this time of year. No walk yesterday, I've started having migraines again. Maybe, it's due to lack of tequila! lol

68 here right now, predicted high for today of 76. We have yet to have any kind of significant cool front come through our area this year... :cyclops:

And, although I'm not a doctor in real life, I play one on the Internet ;), so I wrote you a prescription...

Take one shot as needed for migraine headache. :D ;) :)

Has anybody checked out in line and you feel like just saying stop asking me questions to the cashier. Yes, I know it's there job. I worked at Walgreens, we were forced to upsell the candy or small trinket that was on the counter. But it's like enough is enough. I bought a tv because mine bite the dust.

Is that all today?
Do you want a warranty?
Do you want to donate to St. Jude's (Feels like a bad person by saying not today when you are buying a TV)

Only a couple questions but please cash me out and get me the hell away from here.

I went to the eye surgeon today. Basically, I have two different problems. One, is cataracts on both eyes. Right now, the cataracts are not noticeable to me at all. However, I am going by how I see with my glasses on. I have worn glasses since the age of 7. The doctors always ask me if my vision is blurry, and I tell them no. However, when I read their eye charts during a vision test I often respond to their questions as the letters are blurry.

My second issue is I have a macular pucker. Actually this condition also is present in both eyes, but worse in the right eye. The doctor seems much more concerned about monitoring the cataracts than the pucker. Surgery for the pucker would not be done, until and unless I have cataract surgery.

So for now, they are monitoring both conditions, and my next appointment is in 6 months. I guess we all have issues when we get old.

Sympathy like.
Good luck with both conditions. Glad they are monitoring closely.
Hope all goes well when you eventually need surgery. I'm sure it will...! :)

Yep, also one of the joys of working the Box Office at the Disney Store...upsell, upsell, upsell.
Even at Kay Jewelers it wasn't as bad. :cyclops:

I'll do alterations but don't sell clothing. Most of what I've sold at craft fairs has been items I've painted mostly Christmas ornaments. My sewing is more for the love of it and not being able to find clothing in the stores that fits me. Well that and my need of quilts to keep me warm
