A week ago today: It has been a long time. Way too long. Not since sometime in September had I done it. And not since July had I posted it. Do I miss it? Yeah, kind of – I mean,…

Due to popular demand, I’m ending the Used Test Strip Contest a little early. We had GREAT participation in this you guys – I was so excited to see how many guesses we got! That was just super. There is…

I am a creature of habit. I can’t reach my arm two inches further in the opposite direction to throw these into the trash. That being said, I’d like to share a picture with you all.   As many of…

  Penny has posted a Call to Action. Please go take a look at her post. She really makes some great points about the general lack of awareness that exists in the public eye. The majority of what we do…

Ryan over at Ryan Bruner’s blog has tagged me! Ryan – I’m honored! There was a round of tag that worked it’s way through the OC last year, and I was bitten on or around December of 2005. Wow, that…
