brrrrrrr

 I think it is going to be cold

    Wind chills tomorrow could very be at -15!  And snow is possible!!

    Gotta love Illinois weather.

    By midweek the temps could hit 40.

    Sigh.

    Right now it is a balmy 25, but by morning it is going to be dang cold.  That cold will stick around Saturday and Sunday, meaning people at the Bears game could experience 4 degree temps.  I can't imagine sitting outside in that weather, leet alone playing football.  The ball, and ground, will be as hard as a rock.

    Jackie heard on the news tonight that the field is actually heated.  There are heat coils under the sod, and the grass stays at about 25 degrees.  Players who get tackled may stay on the ground a little longer just to warm up!

    I do know a couple of people going and I hope they dress warmly.  Just thinking of it makes me shiver.

    We baked cookies today and I did not burn them.

    Sunday is cookie decorating day with Camryn, Jen, Sam, and Jackie gathering around the nook table and frosting and decorating the sugar cookies.

    We have sort of drifted into that tradition.  It started several years ago and I actually look forward to it.

    I think Emily works, and Julia may stop over, and maybe others will pop in....we don't really know.

    What I do know is we have about 5 dozen sugar cookies that need frosting.  

    And yes, the workers get to take some home!

    It's a fun day for everyone.

    And I just may go and buy a couple of lottery tickets, since the prize is over $1 billion!  Holy cow, would that be a blast to win!!

    I will dream about that tonight.

Peace and Love
