So after much dragging of the feet, and in a way quite similar to beginning LiveJournal, I got a Facebook account ( Read more... )

I finally got my insulin pump last week. I have been on it for seven days today, have had to change out the set twice by myself, and will be a lot happier when my rates stabilize and I start seeing some better blood sugars. I don't like it, at all, but it is becoming more tolerable. Which is good ( Read more... )

I've just spent the past ten minutes scrolling through the past two weeks of LJ posts. For some odd reason, every time I read LJ I get sad. This time was no exception ( Read more... )

My mom's annual Halloween party was a smashing success this year. The theme was "Hawaii" because we hadn't had that theme yet and Mom was hoping it'd be cheaper to decorate and such. Turns out you can spend a ton of money on just about anything. John's brother's in-laws are Cuban, and as such John and Tim have cooked an entire pig in a china box ( Read more... )

Last night was interesting. John and I drove over to mom's after work to pick up Sarah and Robert, and we decided to go to Jack in the Box for supper. After scrutinizing their menu and nutritional facts online, I've since decided that no one should ever eat there, but consoled myself with a sourdough jack that was only 39 carbs. But I digress.

My favorite month is finally here. Thankfully I managed to skip September entirely...well, sort of. I'd love to be able to say that nothing is happening, that my life is going smoothly and worry free, but that isn't the case.

So in three days it'll have been two years since I filed for divorce. So much has happened since then that it feels like that life belonged to some other girl. Like it was a story I read about. I am very glad that I did it though. Chris and I are *so* much better off this way. I know that I'm happier, and from what I can tell, he is too. Yay ( Read more... )

So I've been lax on the garden update because quite frankly, there is nothing but bad news on that front ( Read more... )

Last night I confirmed the appearance of 8 tarragon sprouts and 2 sage. Still nothing from the 2006 seed kits, and by this point I know I should have seen something. I'll give them another week or so, and if still nothing by then I'll just buy newer seeds and start over ( Read more... )

Carrabba's last night was fantastic. We had the best waiter, the food was phenomenal, and my whole family showed up. Mom, Dad - who has been having SERIOUS back issues and wasn't sure if he could make it - Angie, Jennifer, Lucian, Evelyn and Luke, and Sarah and Robert. John has bronchitis, so he stayed home and slept ( Read more... )
