Breaking news!

OSU football coach Jim Tressel resigns!

Still working on laundry today.

I got a little behind in the last couple

of weeks with not feeling the greatest.

I'd do just enough to get by.

Yesterday I got 3 loads done.

I'll probably get another 3-4 loads

done today as well.

That's if I can survive bringing up

heavy baskets of wet clothes from the

basement and hanging them on

the clothesline in the 90 degree

heat to dry.  It gets a little tough

at times with pneumonia,

breathing,  congestion and all that jazz.

 But in this kind of weather

the clothes dry in no time!

Here is my clothesline this morning.

I have two lines ran.  Then another

one across the side of the carport.

This line is used for the clothes

that are done and ready

to be put away.

I use this little table to put my 

laundry baskets or totes on so

I don't have to bend to the ground

to grab clothes to hang up.

It saves on the back.

This little table used to be a plastic outside

chair.  The back of it broke so I took it

off and now use the base for laundry

or as a outside side table.

Here's what the chair used to 

look like before converting to a table.

Reuse and recycle when possible

to save money! 

The chair and table set was something

I found at my honey's work.

 10:00am

Got a batch of strawberry cupcakes
in the oven.  I didn't get them made
yesterday as planned.  I want to work
on some more cupcakes for the contest.

I am using my silicone cupcake pan
for the first time along side a regular 
cupcake pan.
They make the silicone bakeware look so easy to use on tv.
I'll let you know if it's as
easy as they make it out to be.

11:00am


Well the cupcake pan results are in.
I sprayed both silicone and metal
cupcake pan with cooking spray
before filling with cupcake batter.


I was able to remove the cupcakes
from the metal pan with no problems.


The cupcakes stuck in

the silicone cupcake pan
and broke apart when trying
to remove!

2:25pm


I got two cupcakes made and
submitted to the Jelly Belly Cupcake Contest.

7:30pm


So far it hasn't been a good evening.
I sure as heck didn't feel like cooking
so we all went to Taco Bell.
I don't know what went wrong
with my eating tonight whether it
was where food gets stuck in my throat
and I have a hard time swallowing
or whether I was having an upset stomach.
I got sick 3 times at Taco Bell
and another when we pulled up to 
the house.  I couldn't even wait
to get out of the car and up to the house.
I flew open the car door once we parked.
Needless to say no kids got out
on my side of the car, lol.
It was all I could do to hold it back from
Taco Bell to home!
Sorry to be gross but this is how my evening
has went.
Two weeks of this crap is too long.
Tonight before bed will be my third
dose of antibiotics.  7 more days
of antibiotics to go.

Just took my temp under the arm
with a digital thermometer.
The thermometer says 99.8 degrees.
So whether you add 1 or 2 degrees
to an armpit reading
it makes my temp 100.8 or 101.8.


I knew I had a temperature when
I grabbed a sweater because I was chilled.


I think I'm gonna grab some ibuprofen
and go lay down then get back up
in an hour to take my prescription meds.
