Baked Potatoes discontinued?

-
      Yesterday was a fun day; I went and did some errands. I checked out some stores for sales etc. Then after my interview that I had I came home and kidnapped my hubby and we went to Applebee’s to get the 2 for 20 deal. I love the two for 20 because you get two meals and an appetizer for 20.00. I usually get the steak and baked potato. Anyone that truly knows me,  knows that I love baked potatoes. I don’t know why, but I have since I was a kid. Anyway, when I told the waitress I would like a baked potato instead of the mash potatoes and green beans she informed me that they DISCONTINUED the baked potato. I was like dumb founded. If I hadn’t been so hungry I might have even grabbed James and gone down the street to Outback instead! I kept the urge to myself and ordered the mash potatoes instead. I grumbled to James that this was definitely blogging material. It was still a nice dinner and afterwards James and I went to Books a Million and found some books that we both liked
   I have been wanting to read “Hatteras” by Alice Wisler since it came out in Oct. Now that I have about a week before I start my class again I can sit down and read it. What is fun about reading Alice’s novels, is that I actually know Alice. We met a few years ago at a Renaissance Mom’s weekend that was hosted by Happy Days.   Alice and I hit it off right away and hung out that weekend together. At the time she had only written 1 book and it was self-published. She was in the process of writing Down the Cereal Isle when I met her but was still gathering stories from people about their children.  At the time, I could have written about Jessica and what she liked etc, but her death was still too fresh and hurt too much to write. You can read more about her books etc at her web site.
  Today I plan to work on our closet, make cookies, and read my book! I know that I need to get some of my basic chores out of the way so I don’t feel guilty about sitting down and reading a book for pleasure. 
Until tomorrow,
Katy

What to do at 3 in the morning?

-
Well here I sit at the computer and its nearly 3:30 in the morning now. I started getting sick yesterday at school. I was sneezing like crazy most of the day. When I got home I started taking meds. I took everything from Claritin (thinking it might be my allergies) to Theraflu and so far no real relief. Then about 11:45pm I took something that had an antihestomine (not sure what it was since it was out of the box) I figure good something that would dry me up. Well it actually did dry me up however I have been a wake most of the night. UGHHH!! I was suppose to work today but when i woke up at 11:45 pm and good not hardly talk or do much else i called in to the lady that assigns the subs and told her i could not work. Yesterday, Justin was sick with a low fever and coughing. I am hoping to be able to send him to school today. He has missed 8 days of school so far this year and can not miss anymore than 10 before they decide to retain him. I would rather he not have to stay in 3rd grade a

My Scar

-
                                                                 My Scar     “OUCH”, I said to David. He and I were goofing off during band practice one day. He twisted my right wrist.   I didn’t think much of it at the time. It hurt a little but I soon forgot all about it. Then   about a week later I started having pains in my right wrist.   I was having a hard time being able to bend it. I noticed a large bump formed under the skin on the top of my wrist. I didn’t tell my parents. I figured they wouldn’t believe me and would think it was just growing pains.   It wasn’t until I was in my first semester of college that I noticed that the bump on my wrist was getting bigger. Since Mom used to work with a hand surgeon, she still had connections. So I went to see the Dr. and we set a date for the surgery. It would be on January 13, 1978. This date actually fell on a Friday of all days. I went into the hospital the night before, so I would be ready to go into surgery the ne
