HAPPY news!

This happy news is not work-related. : )

Some of you have noticed that I haven't been posting any new recipes lately. The reason? Cooking & baking are pretty low on my list of what I want to do these days with the yuckiness I've been feeling. I'm pregnant! (As soon as I'm back to feeling closer to "normal" again, I'll be back to sharing recipes.) Our little family is very much looking forward to adding a little darling to our family this September.

In other (work-related) news ...

The Mesa, Arizona CK Convention is coming up on April 18th and 19th and I'm going to be there. Come say hi! I'll be available from 9am - noon on Saturday. You can register in advance and check out ALL the convention information here.

I'd like to give some vendor faire passes away! Anyone interested in getting in for free? Just say you want a vendor faire pass (in the comments below) and I'll randomly choose 10 of you to win a free ticket.

I would love free tickets to the vendor faire in Arizona. I have signed up for a few classes on friday--it is my first time ever to do something like this! My husband said he would go with me to the vendor faire and free tickets would make that easier on him!

That is Happy News! Funny, when you blogged about taking a break from teaching classes this year, I suspected a pregnancy in the works. LOL! I'm very very excited for you and your family, Becky. I'm wondering what you'll name your new little one and I'm predicting a girl. I hope you're feeling better really soon. I remember that yucky feeling with my two pregnancies and the only thing that would relieve it was eating more food. LOL! You and baby will be in my prayers. All the best!
