Well, my trip got off to a poor start when my fistula re-opened and started leaking again. So no 12-ounce protein shake anymore - in fact, the doctor said to cut out ALL oral intake altogether! It was really hard, but I'm making my way through...it was a nice trip though, considering the circumstances.
 |
| On the way there, I came across the awesome bouncy emporium - I wish I was 5! |
 |
| I quickly drew this for my mom to set the tone for our trip. |
 |
| I sewed this (gulp) in my Fabric Collage class - my first real attempt at sewing since my 7th grade Home Economics class! |
 |
| A second one that I made - with a bit of help from my handy glue gun!!! |
Some sculptures and paintings in the building were really beautiful.
I like the idea of layering canvases over one another.
Erin was so much fun to do the classes with - it's so nice to spend time with old friends.
 |
| Yes, we built a bear together! |
 |
| As a ode to my starvation, I named him Jello and decorated his shirt in puff paint! |
 |
| At the end of the week there was a huge art expo, selling vintage memorabilia for collage. |
Then it was home, and boy, did I miss cooking for everyone!
This was a sort of grilled cheese/french toast hybrid I concocted. I toasted rye bread, slapped some provolone and turkey bacon on it, soaked it in an egg/spices/milk mixture, and fried it - YUM!
 |
| Kasha and onions with scrambled eggs for mom. |
My new toy - a doughnut maker I picked up at Target for 16 bucks!
And to my family's request, I "had" to make Bobby Flay's
deep dish pizza again - they LOVED it!
 |
| Now THAT's a deep dish! |
Yes, it was quite a feast! Soft pretzels, doughnuts, cookies,
Apple Cheddar Pupcakes, kasha, corn cakes, grilled cheese, deep dish pizza...yeah, I'm pretty hungry!
I'm really angry, frustrated, depressed, and disappointed over this major setback. I thought things were really closing up and now it feels like I am back at square one again. But the only direction to go is forward, so onward I march...
