Busy weekend

[annearchy]

1. I was very busy from dinner time Friday until almost midnight Saturday. We went to a family reunion on Mr. A's side down near Joliet, Illinois. It's a 3-hour trip in the best circumstances (no stops, no road work to slow you down) and we were supposed to be there by 2 p.m. so I figured I should do my grocery shopping Friday night. So making

Glad to hear you had a good, if busy, weekend. Sounds like DD is doing well. :)

Would love the recipe for your Chinese chicken salad, if you wouldn't mind... sounds very yummy.

She's doing reasonably well, thanks:)

Will post the recipe sometime soon.

And did you know that McCain's favorite song is Dancing Queen by ABBA? o_O Ooookay.

I know, right? McCain... are you secretly GAY?!?!! I THINK SO. :P

Supposedly he's said his taste in music ends around the time he was shot down over Vietnam -- except that Dancing Queen is from about 1977. Whatevs.

Glad you had a nice trip, A. :)

Yeah, it was good. At least I am comfortable with these people. Unlike, say, the 100+ girls (women now) who attended our mumbledyeth HS reunion the same day in the New Orleans area. I didn't have either the money or enough interest to go; I hadn't talked to any of them in longer than I've known Mr. A...

Wow, that does sound like a busy weekend! My parents were in Joliet as well, moving my sister back to college. She loves it there. Glad to hear things ended up going well for everyone. :)

I'd like to second the request for that recipe. That sounds yummy!

What college is in Joliet? This was Braidwood, which is southwest of Joliet, off I-55. The only thing it's famous for is having a Con Ed nuclear reactor.

Will post the recipe soon:)

My youngest sister is at University of St. Francis, which is actually in Joliet. Then my other little sister is closer to us, at Milliken in Decatur. We trek up and down 55 a lot at this time of year!
