Bought some plants on Sunday, and got about half of them planted before it got dark.  I just need to figure out where to plant the extras.  My flower beds are starting to look pretty good.  I just need to put my weed mat and mulch down next.  I bought some new things this year:  red salvia, two double pink peonies, and two double red peonies; some mint, cilantro, parsley, jalapenos, and bell pepper.  I added some more daylilies, hosta, and sweet potato vines to the existing flower beds.

Jalapenos, you say?  The girl who has to search through the depths of the grocery shelves for her extra mild picante sauce???  Yes, jalapenos!!  Since I learned how to "take the heat out of the jalapenos", I am now a jalapeno lover.  Yes, I LOVE jalapenos!!  When I make jalapeno poppers, I de-vein and de-seed the jalapenos, slice down the middle, remove the stem, then...(here's the secret....) SOAK the jalapenos in ice cold water for at least thirty minutes.  I do an hour, just to be on the safe side!  Then, I drain and pat dry.  Stuff with a mixture of one-pound J.D. sausage(fried loose and grease drained), one package of softened cream cheese, and a half cup or so, of Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 for about thirty minutes, or until cheese mixture is slightly brown.  Remove and add grated cheese, then, put back in oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.  Remove and enjoy!!  Great to eat while watching OSU/OU game, Super Bowl, etc.!

Unfortunately, Morgan is extremely ill again.  She just had the flu during Spring Break a few weeks ago.  She went to the campus physician and he prescribed antibiotics.  I just hope the meds. are strong enough and her symptoms don't turn into the flu or pneumonia.  That would not be good.  It's so hard to be three hours away from her when she's sick.  Good news, though....the campus physician knows her Cardiologist and actually went to school and graduated with him.  I'm hoping he will communicate with her heart doctor, and get some inside tips on how to best take care of her.  I'm hoping the meds. will kick in quickly and make her feel better soon.

Phone issues.  UGH.  I quite possibly have THE worst cell phone on the face of the earth.  Unbeknownst to me, I have been unable to receive text messages for at least two or three days, thus, contributing to my lonely pity party this past weekend.  Ha!  Finally, people start calling me today, wondering why I'm not answering their "five texts", "three texts", etc.  After getting home, downloading all of my pictures, backing up my contacts,  and talking to the telephone rep for at least and hour and a half, (fingers crossed) I THINK I have resolved the text messaging issue, with the help of the oh, so patient, telephone rep.
