Well, they think its tendonitis in my arm. They took some x-rays and gave me some exercises to do to help strengthen my arm, as well as some prescription motrin. The funny thing is last night I was able to knit more than one row! I was able to do more reps of the exercises today, so hopefully my arm will continue to let me knit, as I want to work on some the projects for the craft shows.
Well its off to the doctor for me. I have had enough of this arm pain and want to get back to my hobbies! Hopefully its nothing major and will be a quick fix! I have a craft show I want to make some stuff for, for this coming November. I have containers of yarn just waiting to be knitted!
What game systems do you have? We have had pretty much every one out there… Sega, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Playstations 1 & 2 and now the Wii. Just waiting for the boys to ask for the PS3. That they will be told no. The ones we have now rarely get played, except for the Wii and I am the one who plays with it the most. Only because this is the only system that doesn't bother my vertigo. I need to get back to using the fit, to get back into shape. As soon as I finish up my time with the computer I am going to turn the game on and either do the Fit or play Animal Crossings.
We were at my in laws this weekend for Father's Day and for Trent to mow their grass and to visit. I noticed that they bought a new TV for their kitchen, a the little one that they did have in there was too old and wasn't combatable with the converter box. They bought a 19 inch flat screen TV. Now I am wanting one, only bigger for the living room. Now if only I can find one on sale.
Of course if we get a new TV, we will have to get a new entertainment center, as the one we have now, the opening where the TV would go isn't big enough. I would love to have a 60" screen but not sure if my hubby would agree to spend that kind of money right now. So I will sit here in jealousy of my mother in law, as she gets to watch TV, in her kitchen no less, and watch on a flat screen! Now if only we could talk the father in law into getting a new TV for their living room, so we don't have to struggle with trying to see the screen on the one they have now. But that will have to wait until another day.
I got this recipe from Cari. It turned out really yummy!
raising
all done
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/4 c. warm water (105 – 115 degrees)
2 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 c. raisins
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Stir in honey. Add butter, salt and only 2 cups of flour. Beat on low speed with mixer, until blended. Increase speed to high and beat 1 minute. Scrape bowl and beat 1 minute longer. Add remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. “Punch” batter down by stirring 30 strokes with a wooden spoon. Stir in the cinnamon and raisins. Spoon into loaf pan.
Let rise, covered, in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until batter rises to the edge of the pan (not over). Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Glaze:
Mix 1/2 c. confectioners sugar, 1 tbsp. milk and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract until smooth. Spread on cooled bread.
