DX PCOS w/IR 01/08. Currently pg with our 1st after 6.5 yrs of IF (thank you IVF)
1. Fantasy football (I'm in my own league, not the IF league)
2. Chicken bones. Really, I have been into making my own chicken stock lately. Last time we ate out, I ordered fried chicken and took the bones home in a doggy bag to freeze for the next cold day I can make stock. I've also been buying those chicken roasters more often. Its a winter thing I guess. PS - I've started making it in the crock pot - so easy!

DH and I just finished building a house, and we have one of those gas insert fireplaces that you can turn on with a lightswitch. I'm obsessed! I love having a fire on in the morning while I'm getting dressed. I feel so cozy.

Aren't they great?! I'm just so happy that I dont have to spend time building a fire/cleaning a chimney/stacking firewood, etc. I think I will occasionally miss having a real wood fire, but right now I'm loving the instant flames!

I stalk DH's and BIL's FF teams too.
thats interseting -- how'd the stock come out with the fried chicken bones?
homemade? winter? dressy chiffony ones? All of the above?
winter (even though it doesn't get THAT cold here), dressy chiffon, all types..not really homemade..I don't make anything homemade other than food..ha!
right now I'm wearing an orange cashmere one, I've also worn my pink cashmere a lot lately and I'll probably wear my tiger print chiffon scarf on Friday or Saturday for homecoming!
shopping for fabric, I'm seriously going to have to learn to sew...
do you purchase and have a ton that you havent done anything with?
I woud love to learn how to sew also!
I've managed not to buy it unless I know who will sew it/what it's going to be, but given my budget and the last project I gave my mom (who sews) is still not done several years later, I think I need to learn myself.

I have not made any, but I'm curious. All the different flours are intimidating (er, expensive).

2. Chicken bones. Really, I have been into making my own chicken stock lately.
