I will NOT be held responsible...

... if any of you folks who helped P & DJ move, and ate my chili, are struck with gas! No pointing fingers at me if you start stinking up your own homes! hehe.. And, please get it out of your system before you come over here on Tuesday night (j/k). Honestly, I was so happy to have everyone over today, glad that I could help in the "move" even though I didn't come lift heavy things. Now I'm wishing I had taken a picture of the crockpot before (full of chili) and after (nearly empty). I'm glad everyone enjoyed the meal and if you want the recipe just let me know! I just love my subscription to Cooks Country magazine. I can be pretty much assured that (as long as I don't screw it up) that whatever recipe I pick out of there will come out good. Otherwise I wouldn't have the nerve to serve a brand new recipe I had never tried on 10 of my closest friends. :)

The good news is: I've been feeling a LOT better these past two days (today and yesterday). I just hope that this whole "feeling better" thing will last. I'm feeling like I did before 6 weeks - needing a morning and afternoon snack, but not nauseated at other times, and just really thirsty all the time. I did get heartburn last night, but I attribute that to the raw onion in the chicken salad I made.

I'm also very excited to get started on my very first knitted baby hat. KR was so sweet to let me borrow her knitting needles necessary for this knitting project. Thank you, KR! Now, I just need some yarn!! Perhaps tomorrow.. I may even do a "test" hat with some old yarn I have, but it's BLACK - is that a little too depressing for a baby, to wear a black knit cap? We could just pretend that baby is a cat burglar! Yeah, black is not really a color you dress up your infant in, traditionally. Anyway, we'll see. My first hat will probably be so ugly with knitting mistakes anyway that the black won't make much difference. I'll post pics when I have something accomplished.
