Rainy Monday

Today is a sick, soggy day. I feel just fine, but I am about to do some old fashioned witch doctorin' on my Kamrin. She has some sort of yuck going on, with a rattly, chesty cough, headache, fever of 101.7, and sleepy.
Whiny, too.
But, hey, aren't we all? When I'm sick, the world has to know every nuance of my aches, every update on my gastric maladies, and every bitch on my mind. When Mama's sick, EVERYONE knows about it.

I've been running ragged this past week. I'm so darn tired of drivin' around, even though I have a sweet, new ride. I did treat myself on Saturday, while I was up in Columbia for a MADD meeting. Columbia has the closest Hobby Lobby, which carries my favorite brand of yarn... it's called, "I Love This Yarn." And I certainly do.
I loaded my cart with yarns, but in this sweet little dishcloth, I used "I Love This Cotton" in Too Pink Print. It is variegated, but just look at the stripes that occurred! Bless their little hearts, those yarn makin' fools, for making miracles like this happen!


Well, it is time to wash up and start drivin' around again. Picking up kids, going to the doctor, getting stuff for dinner. Tonight's selection is to doctor up Miss Kamrin. Homemade vegetable soup. Got this from cooks.com:


1 lg. can V-8 juice
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can carrots
1 can green beans
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 c. water
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. chili powder
4 stalks celery, chopped
Add above ingredients in large pan. Bring to boil, reduce heat. Simmer 1 hour or until celery is tender.

I think I'm gonna omit the peppers and onions and substitute other veggies and onion powder, cause I'm picky like that. I'm the Queen, I'm allowed.
