Advice?
New Years is usually a fail for me. I feel like there’s three kinds of parties: 100% drunk and nervous as you watch others drive home, OR buy a $200 dress, $100 shoes, and pay $300 a couple at a hotel ballroom OR celebrate at a kids event with 300 6 year olds
Any advice? - LisaUnCut Gems

Sorry Alderman
Apparently my privacy settings have been set to only show my posts to alderman T Anthony Zielinski. I’m guessing it’s been this way at least a week!
omg. Hope the alderman has enjoyed the content! - LisaFriday, December 27, 2019

Helping at the Food Kitchen
Lisa and I spent part of the late afternoon helping the Street Angels prepare 100 pork dinners for local warming stations. Well, she helped with food - I got stuck washing dishes in the church kitchen. D 'oh.

Ms. Heidi
Smiley considers this lovely lady his most important teacher. Smiley has speech apraxia, and Heidi Reid was crucial in his speech development. We finally hooked up on Facebook to insure a connection after our youngest leaves Humboldt Park school. Happy to have her in our fb circle - Lisa

Flappers
Dan's sister Chrissy recommended The restaurant/bar “Flappers” to us. It’s on 76th and Becher. It used to be called “Beacher Street bar and grill” years ago when we were regulars to their Fish Fry. It was delicious! Best burger I’ve had in a while Great prices too! We’ll definitely be returning! - Lisa
The State Fair Light Display
So we did the state fair drive through light/music display tonight. Not crowded, $20 a-car Sun-Thursday. Really enjoyed it. Question to my fb friends: what other drive through displays have the synchronized music? That was neat! - Lisa

Nope. Nuh-uh.
Nope. My kid’s phone will remain on them 100% of the time. If you catch them using it, then you can punish them. Until then, they’ll keep it on them. Parents, re think rolling over on these phone rules. Their phones are their most immediate means of help in an emergency. If it’s locked in their locker or with their teacher it’s of no use to them. If in doubt look into the most recent events, the KIDS with phones are calling 911 most of the time!

A Gift
So the oldest wrote a thank you note for a professor who’s class she enjoyed, and got a gift. I’m impressed I don’t remember liking any of my college classes THAT much
