Acid reflux, Gerd, and Bravo!

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 28, 2008

Dr. had a cancellation after the disasterous fiasco of last Monday when the monitor that went with the Bravo capsule wouldn’t work.
Ta-Da!  Today it did.  So now my body is technically challenged, instead of just my brain.
Throat is a little sore when I swallow but I sure can’t tell that capsule is attached to my [...]

YUMMY! PRETTY! (why it’s food, of course!)

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 28, 2008

Isn’t this a gorgeous taco cheesecake?!  It was delicious….no one wanted to cut into it – but we did! Food, friends, bowling, it doesn’t get much better than this!

Bowling birthdays!

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 28, 2008

Isn’t this the most adorable cake?!  Four people in our Sunday night league were celebrating birthdays – one had a real big birthday, he was 40!  Ahhhh…..I remember those days!  The lady that made the cake put each of the 4 birthday people’s names on the bowling balls.  She is talented!

L to R: Charlie, Earl, [...]

To The Melting Pot for dinner with friends…..

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 27, 2008

Pat and I had convinced our husbands that we needed to go The Melting Pot  in Nashville for dinner last night.  I called and made reservations.
When we arrived, there were lots of people waiting to be called to their tables.  Finally, we were taken to our table – a table with only “one pot”.  I [...]

Cat has come to the other side (AKA: when your hoo-hoo dries up!)

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 25, 2008

Knitting coffee group again this morning at Panera’s; was a small group – maybe because of the bitter cold.  But there’s enough hot flashes going on around the table, that Panera’s could probably have turned down the heat!
Cat, poor, poor Cat, found out this week “she’s in menopause”.  But being the woman that she is, [...]

When your hoo-hoo, is hot-hot!

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 24, 2008

Yesterday at bowling, a friend, who shall remain nameless, was telling the story of her husband becoming “frisky”.  She has a problem, yep, she shares everything with anyone, and said “hold it, I’ve got to run up to the bathroom and get my cream”. She is at the age, where she really needs to be [...]

Celebrating another birthday!

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 24, 2008

L to R: Emily (or Fast Emily as we call her), Cat (the youngster) and the birthday gal, Jan! I’m thinking this is the first birthday celebration we’ve had at Rafferty’s. It was fun – we were in a corner and could be as loud as we wanted to be!

Front row L to [...]

Gloomy, gray days = SAD disorder = me being crabby

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 22, 2008

I absolutely despise gray, gloomy, cold days!  When we first moved to KY 15 years ago, we were so excited because it seemed like there were very few gloomy days; not like in northern IL, northern IN and in MI where winter starts somewhere around mid-Sept. and it (in my mind) doesn’t get warm and [...]

Gorgeous scarf – please help in the fight against Breast Cancer

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 22, 2008

If you haven’t seen or made the Breast Cancer scarf (it’s a kit) please go here to see it. http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/2008JanNewsletter.asp   A friend, Cat, has it made up and every time I see her and she’s wearing it, I drool!  So I decided, to go for it – a portion of the kit money goes to [...]

Perfect time to work on an afghan is……

Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 20, 2008

when it’s freezin’ ass cold out! Like today!  It’s so bitter cold, the dogs don’t even want to go out!  And our 4 dogs love to be outdoors. So what was I to do to keep warm today – besides turning up the heat and wasting more money on that?
I worked on an afghan that [...]

  • Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009
    At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee.  Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking.  Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]

  • A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009
    Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful!  Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning.   Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee!  Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]

  • Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009
    For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me!  This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]

  • Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009
    OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy.  So [...]

  • Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009
    I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words.  How absolutely dumb do [.
