And...

The midwest is evil during the winter, weather-wise at least. We midwestern people are actually quite nice and fun! ;)
How 'bout pizza? :)

Bummer! Both for you and your family, as well as all those people excited to take a class from you!
I am glad to hear you are doing another version of that class at CKU. It sounds wonderful. Sure hope I can take it.

I am so going to Orlando next year! sorry you are stuck but room service is always gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling.((HUGS))

oh Ali, you sound like you are having such a great additude about the whole thing and using your time well anyways..now for what to eat? gotta get a super huge strawberries and creme frapaccino from starbucks ...mmmmmm! one of my favs,
check out the description off of their site: "An indulgent and creamy creation combining swirls of luscious strawberries, blended with ice and topped with whipped cream" drool or what?! {{{hugs}}}

i agree with "CD" since we dont have a starbucks in town.. the only time i indulge is when traveling ( theyre always in airports ) and when i teach at ink about (2morrow YIPPEE) they have one right around the corner ;)
have a safe flight ali and have fun in your class!

Oh Ali what a way to spend a few hours. LOL. Enjoy your "me" time.. LOL.
Travel safe.

oh dear! I vote for more beer and nachos... that's what I'd be into anyway ;)
Hope you have better luck tomorrow!! :)

Ali, Sorry you got stuck in our snowstorm. Wish I would have known...I would have headed the Jeep to O'Hare to at least take you out for dinner! I was right by the airport at a photo shoot all day! If you get stuck in Chi-town again, be sure to call and you can get an insider view of the town! ;)

I always think that wings are a safe bet almost anywhere you go... but I'm not sure how that would mix with the nachos and beer? Did you have jalapenos on the nachos? If not, I think you're OK to have wings. ;-)
Sorry you got stuck. I know the feeling. I always seem to get delayed or stuck on the runway -- at least you're in a hotel now!

sounds like a LOT of my trips:)

AEzine Challenge: Try On Style I forgot to post a link to the challenge I did... Sorry but here it is just the same.

Isn't winter weather grand? Have a save trip when your allowed :)
Cheers!

Girl I'm glad you on the ground when they figured it wasn't safe shoot! I was always wanting to take that class from you. I am glad it is going to be online so I can!!! I am soooooooooooo exited. And hey...eat a lot! Food is one of the greatest pleasures we take part in! later -Karla

Hi Ali!
We were on the way to your crop and classes in Springfield from where we live in Wisconsin, and had to stop in the lovely city of Rockford for the night because interstate 39 was at a standstill and REALLY dangerous. Today doesn't look any better; they're telling us that I-39 is still 100% ice and snow covered. We won't be making it, and we're SO SAD.
TRAVEL SAFE... Shannon, Katie, and Julie

I feel your pain. I was trapped in Milwaukee's blizzard yesterday. I flew in on Thursday night from Austin to give some presentations to employees. I woke up to a blizzard AND they closed the office! So, I was in Milwaukee for nothing. Luckily, I was able to get out of there and back to Detroit because my plane left later in the afternoon. It was touch and go there for a while. They had originally delayed my flight. They did, however, lose my luggage. Good times. I'm sending you good travel vibes!

Hi Ali;
Hope you are able to get where you are going today. Sending you good travel wishes,and safe flying, and lots of happy scrappers for you to teach when you finally get where you are going.

you know i would never really giggle. more like, amusedly observe.
I was secretly hoping they would re-route you to Minneapolis.
Speaking of Minneapolis, stores here should bring you out! Then i could chauffeur you around.
: )
can i take your CKU class?

how cool would it be to have the wonderful CZ in A Week in the Life?

Ali, I'm so glad you updated...I feel a little stalkerish - watching Chicago on the news and knowing you were flying in there - yikes! I couldn't help but worry - be safe!

Sorry for your travel problems! Glad to see that you make the most of it.
Quick question...What is the CKU format this year? I went to the website but there's not much info. I went to the first CKU-A in Dallas and took Becky's track and loved it. I saw your track and wanted to take it too! Please tell me that it's an albums format! Love that concept.

Yeah!! WooHoo! I just talked to the Scrapping Bee & Ali made it safe and sound & just a little late!!!
Glad you're safe and having fun!!!
