Watch, Bowling,

My watch stopped over the weekend and I got tired of looking at a blank wrist so before I went bowling, I went to Walmart who deal with Timex. Unfortunately our local Wally World is only a small store so they don't have a jewellery dept. I was about to leave and suddenly decided to look at the few watches they do sell there. I ended up buying a digital watch for $13 tax included with a 2 year warranty. I would likely have paid nearly that for a battery. Bowling alley owner helped me cut the thing out of it's box and then set it for me. Wasn't til later that I realised it was running on 24 hours. Haven't checked on how to change it yet.

My bowling was pretty useless today, just about maintained my average. At least I wasn't the only one on the team this week. Don't yet know if I maintained my high average though. I was being chased by two other ladies.

Gotta get up early to get himself ready to go ro the fracture clinic as well as have a CT scan on my back too.

Pasta, pasta, pasta - I am not that familiar with ditalini, but... I must try this, sounds good.

Ditalini with No-Cook Bean Sauce

1 cup thinly sliced celery hearts, with leaves

1 15-oz. can artichoke hearts packed in water, drained and quartered
2 Tbs olive or vegetable oil
2 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs Dijon mustard

2. While pasta is cooking, combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. When pasta is done, drain and add it to chick pea mixture and toss to mix.

  2. I do not wear a watch. They always stop running when I put them on. I tell folks it is because I have a magnetic personality.

    1. I think I remember you telling me that before Denise. Can you wear a fob watch, like nurses do?

  3. Since I carry my phone everywhere, I stopped wearing watches. But I have so many of them, I should start again.

    Here's to getting good news at the doctor's office. Fingers crossed.

    1. Yup it was, will write about it tomorrow Liz. I don't use a cell phone, I have one, but a very simple affair.

    1. Your comment surprised me Gary but having read Liz's comment, I see why. I have a simple cell phone and it isn't carried everywhere.

      CT scan was a tad painful, they make you place your arms over your head which stretches the back.

  5. I've used ditalini in pasta fazool. Sorry your CT was uncomfortable. When will you get the results? I once brought all my watches into a dept store for batteries and was floored at the cost. I think I only ended up getting one done. I don't even wear a watch now. Just use the cell phone or computer!

    1. Thanks JoJo. Not for about a week - have an appointment with my doc. Yes, batteries are not cheap by any means. I don't carry my cell phone on my person and it is a flip top anyway.

  7. When you have a CT scan do you have to have the dye injected? If so, what does it feel like?

    1. No Pinky. Or at least I didn't this time.

    2. Oh. I suppose it depends on what part of the body they are looking at. I was supposed to have Dye when I had a CT scan on my kidneys and bladder but I was too scared because I didn't want radioactive dye in my bloodstream.

    3. I have had radioactive dye a couple of times over the years Pinky without any ill effects or even being aware of anything odd being inside me.
