Help Me Help Others in November.
This isn’t my idea. This isn’t an original idea. But when Hotfessional did it last month for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I knew I had to do it in November.
November is American Diabetes Month. And I’m asking you to help me help others.
For every comment I receive between the dates of November 1 and 30, [...]

I had NO idea.
Up until very recently, I had no idea that…
iPhone apps include a BabyTracker, keeping tabs on diaper changes and feedings and sleep patterns, as I discovered when I visited my brother, sister-in-law and their infant twins recently.
iPhone apps also include all sorts of food and exercise journals, as I discovered when some of the sales [...]

Show and Tell: Foxy
The building where I work is just steps away from a multi-use path in Boulder. Well, not just any such path – the Boulder Creek Trail. As such, there are hints of wildlife even near my building, particularly in the early mornings and late afternoons.
I happened upon this yesterday morning and had to capture it [...]

Growing and changing.
As I have mentioned before, I’m not your typical girl.
You should see me when I go out the door for work every morning. No hair product, no make-up, usually wearing a loose blouse and jeans. Part of it has to do with the casual work environment at my company, part of it has to do [...]

Crunchy challenge.
We’re not perfect when it comes to waste.
We don’t recycle everything we should, only glass and plastic on a weekly basis. And there is the occasional cardboard box run to the city recycling bin.
The amount of waste from our diabetes care is outrageous, of course. There’s no way around that. Test strips and their bottles [...]

Show and Tell: Bicentennial Baby
Aww, look at the cute baby Rachel. Hard to believe that I was ever the size my newborn nieces are now, isn’t it?
Ok, ok. That’s not what this show-and-tell is about. It’s that stuffed red-white-and-blue elephant in the corner with “76″ all over the freaking place, made by a family friend upon my birth in [...]

Start of rant.
This might come as a surprise to some because I’ve never spoken up before, but I despise the “n” word. I don’t use it, I don’t want to hear it, and I most certainly don’t want it staring back at me from the sidewalk at my neighborhood bus stop.
Why, WHY, in this day [...]

The doorbell rang, but I was too lazy to get up and answer it. I figured it was some solicitor hoping to run into a homeowner in the middle of a Thursday. Normally, I am not home in the middle of a Thursday, but I woke up with a massive sinus headache and slept most [...]

What they say is true about BlogHer. You don’t want to try and go to a breakout session in every single time slot.
Other than the “speed dating” exercise at the opening session, I kept busy all of Friday attending Leadership: Owning Your Expertise (wrote about this over at Diabetes Daily), Identity/Passions: Lifeblogging Outside the Lines: [...]

Rock My World.
Redwood Hill Farm’s Goat Milk yogurt. I try to limit my dairy products, as that seems to help my cholesterol levels. But I love my yogurt, that’s for sure. The plain stuff is so good, I made my husband try it. Only downside is that it’s a bit expensive, though about the same as the [...]
