down for the count

Where the heck have I been? Down for the count. So sick. You would not believe. I cannot believe. It's been over a week, and I feel like I've lost so many days of work life. In the middle of all that, Michael and I had our long-planned weekend in Montreal, and since I woke up each day totally optimistic that "I'm turning a corner today" we went anyway. Well, it wasn't what we hoped. I was pretty sick with this painful, devastating head cold to end all colds the entire time. And was happy I loved the hotel room (we stayed at the Westin and it was modern and stylish and perfect), because I saw a lot of the inside of it.


But hey, it wasn't all bad. It was beautiful driving through Vermont.


And here's the one and only pic I snapped in Montreal on the evening we arrived. So romantic with the perfect snow and charming streets.


We had a few nice dinners, but nothing tasted too great. All I wanted was soup (get Martha Stewart's minestrone recipe here). And hey, if anyone wants to drop some off for me, that'd be great ;-)

So I'm still on the mend, but really hoping I can get back to life very soon. And get you some updates on client work, kitchen progress, and random design stuff too. Thanks for standing by. How is everyone, by the way? I have some catching up to do.

I wish I lived close by so I could drop off my famous ginger chicken soup. It's famous for curing a cold! Get some rest and feel better soon. xo

Well I must say that I have been missing you. So sorry you felt bad during your trip - I know you were looking forward to it. What a treat to pass through beautiful Vermont. Feel better.

ohhh, what a pity you didn't get to enjoy Montreal - hope you are feeling better and that gives you an excuse to come by Canada again?

So sorry to hear you've been sick Casey. I thought maybe you had been busy with your kitchen or something. Feel better!

Sorry you've been sick, Case! I would certainly drop by some soup if I were close to you -- we could share it together being that soup is the one food I've been able to eat for the last 6 weeks as I recover from intestinal surgery. Rest up and feel better soon!

Ok I was so ready to post my dining room color search on your site and see that you have been sick. I hope you are doing better! Guess I will try later when you have had a chance to get back into the swing of things.

I was wondering what you have been up to! I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but it looks like you've taken a lovely little trip. Hope it was great!

That's a shame - I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing better soon. I was home yesterday with my daughter. It's no fun being sick. Get lots of rest this weekend.
