Welcome back!

Yup,. it is coming. Valentines day is coming, Christmas is coming, New Year’s Day is coming and so is Easter.

All of these holidays are on the way. Thanksgiving has passed, my tummy is still happy. Of course, pumpkin pie is also good for Christmas. For me, that type of pie is good all of the time.

It has been a while since I have had mincemeat pie. I still miss it, along with snow.

I saw something on Facebook that had my juice glands watering.

It was an advertisement for cheap cookie gift baskets. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.

The cookies were designed to look like different types of animals and they also had other designs. Someone must have a great imagination to do something like that. My problem is that I would be tempted to eat what I was decorating instead of making them for sale to others.

With all of the stuff happening, right now I am a mess.

At least I do not need to use a fat burner. The things going on have taken away some of my appetite. That should help with weight loss, but I am not so sure that I will lose any.

The times when I do get hungry, I find myself wanting to eat a lot to make up for the times that I don’t eat a lot. Not having a lot in the fridge does help at the same time. We have food, just not a lot of junk food. :/

Dandelion, dandelion, glowing so bright, with your little heads nodding in the sunlight.
Why it is that you don’t glow when the light is gone, mom did not like you much when you were in her lawn.
Get some running water, pluck those yellow flowers, pat them dry with paper towels, then dredge with seasoned flour.
Fry them in some cooking oil ’til they are golden brown. Eat them up ’til they are gone, your tummy will not frown.

Okay, I know - bad poetry. I am serious about the dandelion flower heads, though. When they are fixed as mentioned in the ‘poem’ they have a great taste. If you like fried mushrooms, you might like some fried sunshine.

My sis and I did that a while ago. It took about 2 years for that neighborhood to get some dandelions back. Talk about weed control. Too bad we did not know how to fix the greens or the root. I’ve heard that they are edible, too.

When I was still in grade school, we were told to talk about what we had done during the summer. Mom and I had spent our time working on her garden and lawn. She did not appreciate the dandelion very much. There were so many of those yellow flowers showing in her lawn that she created a new name for each one she dug up. I had the chance to tell the teacher that we both spent our time digging up ‘damdelions’. The teacher explained that that was not the right name for the flower/weed. I explained that mom called them that as she dug them up.

I understand, now, why she grinned.

There are more diets out there every day.

Now there is a question - does sensa work? I checked out what sensa was and found it to be a diet.

I just wish that there was a way to diet that did not include exercise. I enjoy eating fresh vegetables and fruits. I am not hooked on fats, and carbs.

I once read a book where there was a pill that aliens gave to humans that let the person lose weight to their perfect weight, within one week. Of course that would mean getting a new wardrobe full of clothes and who can afford that these days?

Summer is around the corner.

If you are thinking about going camping and you have an RV, you also need to think about getting rv insurance.

Not only do you need to think about insurance, but you should also think about the last time that you used your RV.

Did you clean it out? Did you leave some things in it and forget they were there. Now is the time to think about these things before the days comes and you find the old veggies that have now been turned into penicillin cultures just waiting to be found.

All through this mess we have been going through, my husband did not run.

I am surprised that he did not try to find out how to boost testosterone, in order to handle the mama grizzly that he found himself married to.

I did try to keep it down, but there were sometimes that I just wanted to growl, or howl. I was not really sure.

So, I kept checking my blood sugar levels, injecting insulin and calling the pharmacy checking if the pills had come in yet.

Well, it is finally over. The pills came in, I have taken my medicine, my temper has eased, the mama grizzly has gone back into hibernation.

Have you heard the one where a friend asks another…how bad was it?

Well, it was sooo bad that I could have gnawed up a cypress tree all by myself. I know that this type of tree can withstand lots of moisture, they do not rot easily, and seem to last forever.

I guess it is saying a lot to imagine that i was irritated enough to act the hyper beaver, or wood chipper. Chewing gum would not have helped at all. I did spend of lot of time sleeping. At least that way my husband could have some peace away from the grumpy woman that I had become.

We have been running around a lot lately. We have used over 80 dollars of gas. We have stayed in the same county, though.

That is a lot of running. On top of it all, my blood sugar has not been at its best since I had been having trouble getting a refill on one of my medicines. I finally got it today, but, after a look in the mirror….I neeed the best eye cream for dark circles.

I almost scared myself as I looked in the mirror this morning. My hair was on end, my eyes of course looked as if I had used them to imitate a raccoon. ( I am not trying to criticize raccoons here.)

High blood sugar can cause a lot of disturbances in your life. You might now even notice it at first, but it all adds up to lack of sleep, severe irraitability, people wanting to hide from you (me), frequent trips to the potty, itchiness all over. When you add all these things up, I was not a happy camper.

Do you have a pet? If you do, then you know that they have opinions and are not afraid to let you know that they have them.

The other day, as I was occupied on the ‘throne’, I was told the opinion of one of our cats. She came in, visited me, sniffed, left, stopped by the litter box, sniffed, shook her tail, looked at me and then left.

The feeling I got is that the litter pan smelled better than me !?! Considering some of the odors that have come from that box, I am surprised that I was being criticized.
