Not for the feint of heart–the stitches are really ugly looking.

Was sitting here thinking how my foot was aching and how miserable I was when KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

I have the best friends EVAR! (I’ve received other loot, but as it wasn’t perishable, I haven’t yet documented its existence.)

Thank you so much Natalie & Larry and The Pink Thing! (TPT ordered the balloon.)

People must know I love flowers! Because I got flowers on Saturday!

Note: I did not take these pictures, Michael did. I’m not yet up for standing still, and I’m pretty sure taking pictures while balancing on crutches is an invitation for another trip to the ER.

The card from the UCF was Teh BEST!
“To the Most Graceful Member of the UCF. Heal Fast!”

I’ve got some extra color in my life while I’m stuck here in my chair!

Happy Birthday Eric!

You’re 47 this year, right?

Yesterday was WV’s Primary Election. In honor of that is today’s word: upset

Grandmom: I just don’t feel up to going out to dinner.
Michael: That’s fine.
Grandmom: Don’t be mad.
Michael: I’m not mad!
Grandmom: And I’m gonna pay for it.
Michael: That’ll make me mad.
Grandmom: No it won’t.

I’ve been making bread fairly regularly since the beginning of the year. This week I decided to try the recipe from Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread.

His ingredients and technique are different from the recipe I’d been using out of the The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion, and although I didn’t follow it 100% (I make my biga right before I go to bed, I wasn’t about to wait 2 to 4 hours, then refrigerate, then pull it out and let it warm up for an hour before continuing; never mind the lack of room in my refrigerator.)

Yeah, there are a couple purchased annuals in here, but I have a lot of flowers blooming already. (I cannot take a good picture of the lilac, but it’s blooming so heavily you can smell it all the way up on the porch.)

Go here. Really. I mean it.

Thanks Eric/Evan!

It’s Wednesday! It’s finals week! The traffic in Morgantown is improving on an hourly basis! Thus, this week’s word: exam
