Now my antibiotics are eating my gut alive! Tethered to the bathroom.
I received some scraps from wonderful members of this board and I am in hog heaven! What fun!
Carrie, I pray your DD gets some answers. We will be with you, no matter what.
It is raining cats and dogs and little baby dolls here today. It is a good day for sewing, and I think I will get at it.
I got a used digital camera today...It is missing the USB cord but I found one on ebay for $1, so next week I can post pictures! I am so happy!

Thank you Leann.
MJ how was your outing with your friend?
Antibiotics always do that to me. I don't know why they have to be so harsh on our bodies. It sure doesn't make us feel better.
We were gonna go to my folks today and plant a garden but the rain has the ground so muddy we can't do it. Don't know if we are gonna get a garden with fresh veggies this year or not if the rain doesn't back off some. I love the rain but geesh does it have to rain every weekend!!

Carrie,
I really enjoyed my outing. She had two good job interviews. It took all day. I left my house at 9.30 and got home at 6!
I read a book, "Alice's Tulips" by Sandra Dallas. Pretty good, kind of slow at the beginning, but an interesting diary of a 16 year old Civil War bride. The whole book is letters to her sister.
I perused the Clotilde catalog, didn't find anything I couldn't live without!
We ate lunch at Shoney's, which was okay. I really enjoyed the company the best.

Grandmas Artichokes
I am giving measurments for 1 artichoke this way if you make 2 or 20 you know what to do.
1 clove chopped Garilc (i use fresh)
1/4 tsp parsley flakes
1/4 tsp onion flakes
a pinch basil
a pinch salt
a pinch pepper
1 tbsp bread crumbs
1 tsp grated romano cheese or any italian cheese you want to use
a drizzle of olive oil
Cut stem from the bottom of the artichoke and peel it. Wash artichokes spreading the leaves as you do it. Set them in a pot, put water in the pot 1/3 up the side of the artichoke. Make sure the leaves are still spread out a little. Stick the stem between the leaves along with the herbs. Top with bread crumbs then cheese. Drizzle oil over top. Simmer around an hour. If you need to add more water. The ones I made the other day took about 2 hours to cook. Pull off a leaf and taste test for doneness. the cooking liquid is great if you dip a pices of italian bread in it.

UPDATE.............my love life........he has not contacted the fake me anymore. It was just the first day and even though I contacted him through the fake person 2 more times he didn't respond. we talk on the phone almost everyday. Sometimes it is 5 minutes other time about an hour. I spoke to him 3 times yesterday now I think what he did was sweet. Joyce's car is having major problems and he said it shouldn't be it is not that old for those kinds of problems the repair guys is telling her. He works on his own cars, he raced when he was younger. Anyway he had to pick up a part for his car and he was walking in the place and said he would call me right back. About 1/2 hour went by and no call. I figured he forgot. He didn't, when he called he told me he was talking to the guys about Joyce's car and they said what it could be. He asked me questions of which I didn't know the answers so he said he wants to talk to Joyce to try and get to the bottom of why there are so many problems with it. I thought that was so sweet that he took the time to find out about Joyce car. I told him wechave been speaking on the phone for 42 days when will we meet. He said he wanted to meet me weeks ago but there has always been a reason we couldn't. He has been working 12 hour shifts and 1 weekend he had plans with his brother then it was my b-day and Joyce kept changing plans on me. Then his car broke down and he had to fix it. Then Jim was here sooooooooooooooooo......if everything goes as planned he is suppose to come here tomorrow. I called the shots as to how it will work. If I could drive we would have met someplace for coffee. Now how long would the meeting have been? 15 minutes to a few hours. If things didn't work out I could have just walked out. But since I can't drive it will be a 15 minute meeting. He will come to my house I will go outside. HE WILL NOT BE COMING IN! After 15 minutes he will leave if he is still interested he will call me if I am still interested I will pick up the phone.

Well, my plans for today was to go to Joanns, the Thrift Store and go buy a summer robe for my hospital stay. My robe is a winter one and too thick. So, I set out. Stopped at Belk first, hoping they were having a sale. Even on sale, the price was ridiculous. I refuse to pay $54 for a robe. Nope... So I went to Targets, where they had absolutely nothing at all. By this time my knee was hurting so I decided not to make the 35 minute drive to Joanns and forget the Thrift Store also. On my way back home, I made a "quick" stop at Tuesday morning, as some of the ladies on the board have been finding FQ at their local Tuesday Morning store. There was nothing in mine, so I came on home. I feel like I wasted half my day. Now, it's to clean the house. DH told me he would go to Joanns for me, "if you'll just tell me what to buy". Bless his heart. I don't think so. Half the fun of going to Joanns is to browse the whole store. I may get him to drive me over there tomorrow. He can drop me off and go to some store he would want to go too. I need some white for my Mom's quilt top, so I need to go soon. I want to get it cut out and have ready to sew while I'm recouping from surgery. I'll go to Kohls after church tomorrow. If I don't find something there, I will just take and wear my winter robe.
MJ, glad you had a good day with your friend. Carrie, I hope your daughter is feeling better. Missy, you are missed!! Tru, hope things go well tomorrow with "him". I hope everyone is having a good day. Sandy
