When in doubt, recycle.
Okay, so I’m not officially doing NaBloPoMo. The biggest reason is that I’ve been doing daily posts for the Days of Grace project, which means I’ll be posting most days until September 21, 2010, only consolidating under the most dire of circumstances (i.e. lack of free internet access).
But since I am doing fundraising during American [...]

Show and Tell: The Shirt
While I usually talk type 2 diabetes, it’s been awhile since I’ve talked type 1.
Doesn’t this shirt tell it all? I saw it on CafePress a few years back and thought it was absolutely perfect for my husband, who has had type 1 diabetes since he was 11 years old (March 1986, to be exact).
So, [...]

Show and Tell: Snow
Here we go, “winter” wonderland in October. It’s not the first October snowstorm I’ve experienced during my time in Colorado. In 2002, I managed to get stuck on four-hour bus commute when roads became icy, then snow-packed.
Even though we have 14 inches of snow (estimated by the husband) here at home and probably a foot [...]

Today I Am…
(Grabbed from Poppy Buxom.)
…reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It was hard to get into the first 1/3, but now I’m finishing it at a rapid pace, hopefully by the end of this week’s bus commutes. Which, by the way, is the only time I get to read anymore. Except when I’m tired and [...]

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 [...]

Show and Tell: Oregon Coast
One of our favorite places to visit.
One of the places we will seek a home should we ever win the lottery or start writing enough Great American novels (me) and Great Science Fiction novels (the husband) to live in our dream home(s).
It’s the Oregon coast. This particular picture was taken near Newport in September 2004. [...]

Show and Tell: Jumping In
This statue sits somewhere in Newport, Rhode Island. Photo was taken in May 2005, as we drove all over New England in the course of two weeks.
This is how I feel lately. Jumping into the water without a care in the world, finding the real me somewhere beneath all the anxiety and depression.
Together with my [...]

Show and Tell: Aspens.
Even though I’ve lived in Colorado for eleven years, I have only taken one trip to the mountains to see the aspens changing colors. Though it’s been years, this photo continues to bring back memories from that one weekend when we visited several spots to see the gorgeous trees in their fall glory. And [...]

Show and Tell: Myth Busting
Yes, I have type 2 diabetes. Yes, my husband has type 1 diabetes. That doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy cooking and eating. Yes, it means we have to watch the ingredient list and make some occasional substitutions.
When first diagnosed, it was a lot of trial and error with the blood glucose meter to find [...]

Show and Tell: Roots
“You know, if we traveled up I-35 and took US-18 all the way to Madison, we could stop in Rudd…” I offered up that morning as we looked over the map in our hotel room near Des Moines, where we had stopped the night before. Our ultimate destination was my brother’s house for a [...]
