Yesterday I did something I’ve never done before – I passed a 3 hour glucose challenge! I haven’t had a gestational diabetes-free pregnancy since my first-born 8 ½ years ago! It feels really good to know that I can eat whatever I want for the next few months without having to worry about pairing proteins […]
Took my 3-hour glucose “challenge” today, and since it was SO fun for me (sarcasm adundant), I thought I would spread some of the ‘cheer’ by giving you a run-down of what this medical test entails. First, why do they call it a glucose challenge? To provide extra motivation, maybe? Whatever the reason, I think

Came across a few really cute animal-themed emails lately, so I thought I’d share. The first one is for people who don’t have a dog or just have a very disobedient one. Enter a command in the text box and the cute doggie will do it. Try ‘kiss’. [swf]https://www.idodogtricks.com/site_template_v10.swf[/swf] Then there’s this video, which features
I didn’t blog all weekend because we made a few-hundred-miles trek to the Chicago suburbs for my nephew’s 5th birthday party. We stuffed ourselves silly over there because as much as we love where we live, the restaurant choice can grow kind of boring. So, being in a different area had us stopping for food every chance
A couple of quick updates I have to post: 1. After just one episode, your favorite new show and mine, “Secret Talents of the Stars” was CANCELLED!!! Just kidding.

It may be cold and rainy outside, but the weather has not affected my emotional state inside! I’ve had an awesome day! It is our ninth wedding anniversary today, and so far, the day has been just short of perfect. The only thing that could make it better is if we could be together all day,
If you’ve been to a movie in the theater lately, you may have noticed a very clever and funny Starburst commercial they play during the previews with Steve Buscemi called Ernie the Klepto. If not, see it here, but watch carefully, the humor is subtle at first and happens quickly! Lisa
If I had to name my most useful kitchen tool, I think I would probably choose my retractable Sharpie.

All my life I’ve had to deal with a less than optimal anatomy. In Kindergarten, my teacher wrote on my report card, “lacks hand-eye coordination.” Not lacking in hand-eye coordination, she definitely wrote LACKS – as if I didn’t have any at all. My vision hasn’t been the best and neither has my hearing for
I should probably introduce myself, but right now I want to talk about something else. I might introduce myself next time. Anyway, I have a friend who at the moment is having a big decision to make. Her brother and sister-in-law have invited her down to Texas to be a live-in-nanny. Her brother is going over
