I love to cook!

This past Friday (after I got home from going out with friends) I came home and sorted out Pampered Chef orders. Last week, I had a Pampered Chef party. I love to have people over, and the demonstrations with food are even more fun. So Friday is when the UPS delivered all of the orders to my house! Too much fun! The best part is all of the free stuff you earn from your friends ordering. I grew up with a grandma who loved to bake, and a father who loved to cook, so I am always up for doing either. Unfortunately, in my house there is just my husband and I and we are never home. When we are home, he is a picky eater....so that leaves myself to eat whatever I feel like whipping up that's out of the ordinary. None the less he is getting better with trying new things and I am learning to be more patient with him! I grew up in a house where you ate anything. Where in his house if it looked weird or they just plain didn't want to try it, his mom just gave in. All of the kids are horrible eaters. The oldest one has since gotten past this habit, but she is a business women in Chicago that has to eat with other business people all the time. She says that this has helped her broaden her horizon.

I am excited that vacation time is almost here for hubby and I! We are going to visit my dad. He lives quite a ways away from us, so we only get to visit a couple times a year. This year we are traveling up with his girlfriend who lives closer to us than to him. We always have a great time together and we are looking forward to it! Usually a stop at the casino is in store for us and of course lots of sight seeing. My dad lives right on Lake Superior, so it will be a cold and windy visit, but it's always a beautiful stay.

I am off for Columbus day today and normally I would do something fun, like shopping with friends and going to lunch. However, today I am at home sick. Just a cold, but none the less not fun! Hubby says better now then when we are on vacation. We leave at the end of the week, so that should give me plenty of time to get better. Well, that's all from me. Time to go warm up the couch.
