Chili going too. I am looking forward to later this afternoon, fun stuff. As James Brown said " I feel good"

I remember the first fireplace that we had about 35 years ago. Did not know anything about buildup in the chimney. Burned oak in the fireplace. Kept getting less and less efficient. One day the fire was just puny but finally there was an extremely loud roar like a jet engine and the fire took off like crazy. I went outside and looked at the top of the chimney where flames and sparks were shooting out the top. Extremely scary!

Oh i'm so stuffed, Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Corn and special secret (so don't ask) iceeed tea

You guys should call Goodrich Chimney.

I thought I was doing good till I saw that pick on CG day had come and gone.

I ended up making two pots of chili - huge ones, so I can freeze it and have meals later too - so, one chicken chili and the other regular chili.

Smells good in here.

She just now threw another log onto the fire and plugged in a DVD. Pretty soon she will begin fixing dinner but in the meanwhile she has brought me a glass of wine. I believe that after dinner she is going to take the SUV and fill it up with gas and check the tire pressure.
All in all, a pretty good day.

rofllol got a kick out of this. so are you spoofing vl's post?

Currently purusing patterns for a winter cowl for stepdaughter, since those seem to be the college rage rather than scarves, already done some laundry,started the chicken chili but realized I'd forgotten a main ingredient - the cheese - so I need to go to the store in a bit. Have some new versions of antique ornaments to make as well, but since I'm undermotivated, sitting in my chair (after trip to store) and crocheting may be about as motivated as I get all day.

You do know that my wife is the undefeated, undisputed chrochete queen don't you? I can't believe you and her have anything in common. Surprised

I love to crochet.

Take heart I hear they make it a monthly event.
