I finished the 6 in square with the snapdragon stitch and it turned out pretty! I will post a pic in a project link on Ravelry soon.

On top of my crazy week with the wasp sting, I ended up at urgent care as it looked like it was getting infected and it spread quickly over a 10 x 5 radius just under my right arm to across to my breast. It looks like a beast! Got a big dose of something in a shot, antibiotics, cream and a by mouth steroid. It is feeling better – I am not clawing -but it still looks horrendous!

Plus I am making my biggest cake  yet for my MIL’s church. They are having a reception this weekend for the Bishop of one of the bigger Episcopal church’s and they asked me to make the cake  – for 150!! I will have the Episcopal shield as its main centerpiece! I will post pics when its finished later this week!
So what is everyone else up to?

So for the previous 4 weeks I have been coughing up a storm along with a cold. I saw my doctor for my yearly visit and he wasn’t too concerned with my cough at that time – only my blood pressure which tends to run a “normal” high even on meds. He gave me a steroid dose pack to help the cough which I promptly had filled and took it like I was supposed too. It didn’t help! Well, as the next few days went on and week 4 started, I became more miserable with my cough. I was coughing so bad, I felt like an 80 year old woman because I peed in my pants every time I coughed! Yes, TMI, I know but it tells you how bad the coughing was! I had no fever thank goodness, but felt miserable. I called the doc that Monday and they told me to call if I got a fever. Two days later I was so bad I called them again and the doc had me come in to see him. As bad as I felt, I just knew I was going to have pneumonia or the H1N1. Doc was surprised at how bad I looked and sounded from the previous week. I didn’t get a chest xray as he determined that I had bronchitis. And he said that even if he thought it was pneumonia, he would be giving me the same treatment as the bronchitis.

So, during the recovery and trying to get my energy back, I began to crochet like crazy! (As mentioned in another post, Melissa and I have self taught ourselves!) I found the cutest little bag pattern and made a couple exactly as it was written. Then I improvised a few after that. Now I am wondering if I can sell them on Etsy or at local art/crafts fairs!! So check out my Esty Shop and here are some pics of my projects I made while recovering from the worst cough I have ever had in my life!

Well, it’s Super Bowl weekend. Hoorah! It used to always fall on or close to my birthday weekend but now it seems to find itself about 2 weeks later. No big deal.

Today’s game is exciting for all of us at the Starr Household as it’s the first day in about 5 days that no one has been sick with the stomach crud! And of course everyone wanted cheese dip, doritos and tacos! Yumm!

Iz had it Tues/Wed, I had Thurs/Fri, Samantha Fri/Sat, Kev felt icky on Saturday and Curt has been lucky enough to only have a few rumblings.  I lost a whole 24 hours when I was sick — in total la la land. Thank goodness the older kids could help with the little one until their Daddy got home from work. And thank goodness he knows how to dial chinese for take out! LOL

Today we all feel fine and dandy and hopefully will stay that way until….. always!

Until next time when I really have more to say or share…

So it’s been like 2 weeks since my last post.  A lot of things have been going on!!!!  First, Saturday two weeks ago, my kids and I were almost in an accident – could have flipped, but didnt.  My car ended up basically sideways and Sam could almost reach out and touch the grass without moving.  This picture doesnt do it justice.    Everyone was fine!  The kids were fine, the car was fine and I was fine!!!! 

Second, Curt and I went to see The Dark Knight!  with Synitta and her nephew!  We loved it!!! 

Thirdly, I am STILL working on the baby blanket for Carmon’s baby that is due just about any day now!!!!!!  It will be beautiful when I get it finished!!!!  But, damn, I only have so much time to knit and do everything else!!!
