    The clock radio that I had in my office to listen to the freebeer and hotwings show broke yesterday.  The "power" button got stuck in the off position and wouldn't go back the other way.  Boo.  I'm pretty sure we have another at home, I just have to remember to bring it in.

  • Bummer on the radio quitting on you. I just donated one to goodwill this weekend because we haven't used it in 4 years or so. 

    So yesterday was insane for me. Worked on both the biz and home stuff all day. 2 clients had appointments and then there was the research of other clients who are wanting to buy new machines. :)

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a summer blanket? Our Queen size comforter is to hot for DH and he isn't sleeping throughout the night b/c he will wake up over heating and then later again he is freezing. I need something that breathes but still keeps the chill off.  

  • Good morning.  I have finally visited the amazing store that is Horrocks.  My friend and I went yesterday morning with our youngest kids.  We bought some peanut butter, some produce, and a few veggie plants.  My friend is planting her very first garden right now, and I'm so happy to be a coach for her.

    We had a terrific salad w/ our own lettuce and carrots last night. 

    Willa's last day of school is Friday, which means Henry and I are getting in a lot of good one-on-one time inthe next few days.

  • TW - Have you tried listening to the online steam in the meantime?  I'm pretty sure it's free at WGRD.com.

    Deeder - No recs exactly, I just use a sheet and a cheap old blanket (I think inherited from my parents at some point) and ditch the down comforter.

    GRSP - Yay for your first Horrocks visit!  I love that place but it's so far from where I live I rarely get out there.

    And speaking of gardening, we are venturing into a small herb garden.  We are getting some over the rail deck planters and will plant a few herbs we use a lot and hope for the best. :-)

  • Good morning,

    B signed on for a special project at work so he's working even more for the next month and a half :-|. I should be ok with this seeing as how I take the bar at the end of next month. But... I can only study so much before it's just words on a page, you know?

    I think I'll go to the library this afternoon, just to get out of here.

    I'm thinking of going to the Cottage Bar for my birthday dinner tomorrow.  Since Ottawa Tavern doesn't do their burgers anymore (so I've been told) I need to find another burger place, and SIL recommended The Cottage Bar.  Is this a good choice?  I'm open to other good casual, local places.  No special birthday freebies necessary.

  • My primary doctor never faxed my blood test results to my other doctor so now I have had to leave numerous voice mails. It's irritating me.

    Either asparagus stuffed chicken with steamed broccoli, or frozen pizza.  Depends on what time we get back from seeing a friend's new baby at the hospital.

  • WOP,

    How about Bagger Daves for a burger. It isn't locally owned, but it's not a national chain. There are a few in the east side.

  • We used Togo to Bagger Dave's when we lived in Lansing a lot.  They are good!  They have the best fries and sweet potato chips.
