Ooops My Martha is Showing.....

As in Martha Stewart Homemaker Extraordinairre......Actually as much as a homebody as I am I rarely bake from scratch (if I bake at all) I pull off maybe one or two fancy feasts per year.....Key words here 'pull off' and 'one or two' out of like 50 that I try per year.....
Saturday is RaceDay in our household which means waking up early (for me thanks to Quintus and Gabby) Start baking the muffin loaf, side note here: if you make packaged muffin mix and painstakingly measure it into each little cup, spilling over the muffin pan creating hard little nuggets that you have to chisel off when it's done baking stop right now, crank that oven to 350, grease a loaf pan and dump that mix right in there and bake it for 48 minutes. Trust me, it's way better than silly little muffins. WAAY BETTER. The recipe for it is on the back of my box of muffin mix......Today along with muffin mix I am making No-Bake Cookies. All Recipes dot Com has a wonderful recipe for this, followed by spaghetti with meat sauce.....There are a lot of us who talk during the week to plan this all out and I enjoy it. Meanwhile during this time, we do get up and do our power 90 workout, I do cook breakfast thanks to my handy dandy omlette pan given to me by my mother in law. D loads the race trailer I pack up the food, pack my knitting (i don't know about you but I can't spend 10 hours at a race track without my knitting in the vicinity). Today I'm tempted to toss the coffee pot into the bag to take out there. It's nasty, it's raining, and it has high potential to be cold later. So we are off to the races, I'm bringing a few finished objects so I can use the hood of the car as a backdrop but that will also depend on the weater................ooh there goes the buzzer!! Muffin Loaf. Try it. You'll love it!
Happy Saturday All

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
