Would you believe it? It's snowing in Chicago today. Not just a few little flakes, a full on snow! Am I dressed in a weather appropriate manner? Of course not. I have on a skirt and mary jane's. No pants, no hose, no socks. I did manage to wear my (light) wool coat this morning. Maybe the Land's End people made a pact with God, because their winter wear catalog arrived at the perfect time. I'm going to have to take a look tonight and see what provisions we'll need.

I was in a cooking/baking frenzy yesterday and managed to turn out a chicken pot pie and chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Perfect food for catching up on television shows. It was a yummy night. Monday night we had crock pot stuffed peppers. So far, we've been good this week about eating healthy and at home.

Yesterday, I got my blood test results back and found out that the doctor is going to increase my synthroid dosage. Maybe this explains my recent weight gain? Probably not, but it feels better to blame that than all of my culinary indulgences. Maybe increased meds + new workout room x eating healthy & at home = getting back into shape. I hope so. I'd really like to fit into my slacks again, if it's going to insist on being all snowy and stuff outside.

Here's a photo of the Miami gals at Old Man's Cave. Can you see AS's baby bump?

Ok, the bump is not really visible, so you'll just have to use your imaginiation.
