I got sick the other day. Not sure what it was, but it hit me like a Mack Truck. Literally ran me over. I was sick for the afternoon, slept it off, and was fine after that. It hit me…

To my new best friend? The power of food in regards to diabetes management is astounding sometimes. As I am learning more about it, and coming to terms with things I have not wanted to admit, I am just in…

Yes, I know I’m late. But – better late than never right?! Scott Strumello tagged me for the 7×7 meme. Thanks Scott! I really do have some stuff to post about, but I’ve been so damn busy. I’m sorry it…

Hi all, I have been insanely busy lately. Lots of work stuff, spending time with my family, and not to mention digging out of the snow that was recently dumped on us. I’ve always been a big “blog when you…

I’m so ashamed that I haven’t come up with a single diabetic related joke. Pitiful. I’m going to have my license revoked if I don’t come up with something funny soon. G-Money has run away with the laughs, and I’m…

A couple of quick updates for the weekend. The latest installment of “Which Way Is Down?” has been posted over at dLife. Go take a look if you would like. I had my endo appointment on Friday. It went very…

It is the holiday season. Office Parties. Potluck gatherings. Treats and sweets. Large family meals, sometimes more than once (you simply have to eat at both sides of the family, if you are lucky enough to have them both local).…

I’ve been tagged by Zazzy! She wants to know my five favorite holiday season songs. Like her, I have trouble picking favorites, but I’m going to pick some ones that I have the most fun with. At the top of…

Within minutes of me posting about my cheesecake fiasco, I got an e-mail from a friend of ours that put an almost permanent grin on my face. Bernard wrote to say (and I quote): You have to be more cheerful…

I was casually flipping through my “Countdown” magazine that recently arrived from the JDRF. Guess who’s face I recognized! I LOVE seeing fellow “OC’ers” outside of the blogosphere! Rock on Allison! You are making a difference indeed. Thank you.
