Right now I just got back from the dietician discussing my fiance's diet and diabetes. I feel so much better on what he can/can't eat and I think he does too. It's going to mainly be adding more veggies than he's used to, and portion size control.

Spitfire your fresh carrots, celery, tomatoes and lettuce are on the FREE FOOD list; meaning there is little or no carbs and you can use these to fill up. This dietician doesn't think that a low carb diet is healthy for diabetes. She says the main thing with diabetics is eating consistantly. So if a person is to eat 6 - 11 servings of carbs, and you eat 3 meals a day & 2 snacks, you should have 2 - 3 servings at each meal, 1 at each snack. The same with the other food groups [some food groups will not fit into snacks, just main meals]. Meal times need to be as consistant as possible. And she also said it was important for my fiance' NOT to drastically change his eating habits as this could cause more problems with blood sugar. He's just to gradually taper down. But he's a big eater. Here's a website that almost matches the handout she gave us. The only thing different is the "Breads and Grains" was "Starches" and starchy veggies such as corn, potatoes, peas, and dried beans were added, and the good vegetables were unlimited servings, not the 3 - 5 listed here. And also for my fiance' was calorie conrol, but more emhpasis on starches which should take care of his calories. http://www.lifeclinic.com/focus/nutrition/food-pyramid.asp

In no way am I trying to put anybody down who is on any type of low carb diet. I'm just sharing what the dietician told us today for diabetics. I was just worried you might make a drastic change in diet w/o talking to your doctor or dietician.

Right now, I'm excited(!) about my dentist appointment this afternoon. I'll get to see what my new teeth are going to look like.

Before then, tho, I get to work more on the craft area of the dining room to clean it up. I'm in the right mood to do it--I just want the stuff GONE.

Right now I'm so mad at my brother I could SCREAM. I just got an email that their 10 month old dog ate 2 boxes of Decon. This dog has NO discipline, gets into everything, so why the heck did he have DeCon sitting on the counter? Sure they were unopened but Lucy eats EVERYTHING within reach. She's one of those dogs that will push a chair up to the counter if she wants something on it and can't reach it, then crawls up on the counter. And supposedly it's my fault because I put off my trip to Iowa until tomorrow so I could go to the dietician today. Oh well it's not my fault and I keep reminding myself I'm going to see my mom not the other two males living there that can be total at times.

Right now I'm wondering if Lucy is okay.

Right now, I was going to write that I was surprised--DH unloaded the dishwasher and put MOST of the dishes away. (This tells me that the kitchen is "clean and organized enough" so he'll pitch in there.)

Right now Lkunkel the vet said 2 boxes wasn't too much to worry about. They have to watch her gums for color changes. My dad brought home a shot and some Vitamin K pills. Lucy didn't even realize by brother was giving her a shot; she was more interested in the treats my dad had for her. Thanks for asking.

Spitfire I'm glad it helped. It'll be even better when you get to talk to the dietician. Hope things go well for you and Lil' SF! [Lil' SF cuz I thought Lil Spit was rude! *L*]

Right now, I am about to brush my teeth and head out to the dentist. I started the roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions in the crockpot.

When I get home, I'm going to do artwork to relax a bit.

Right now I am home from the dentist. The next appointment will be for the extractions; the date may or may not be next Wednesday. The anesthesiologist is out of town.

But, I got to see the even and white teeth. They looked so pretty--I cannot wait to smile again.

right now, home with dh. things went fine, but they did give him some brevitol IV, after saying they would only do a local. they were also 4 hours behind, so we sat from 8:15 until 12:30 before they called him in. then i ran to mcdonald's and scarfed up 10, count 'em, ten!, chicken nuggets and a diet coke. i didn't want to eat because dh couldn't and man, was i hungry! not good with my blood sugar, either, to have to go so long. i had thought i could eat something about 9:00 or so, but they were so late taking dh in for surgery...
dh is having soup and grilled cheese for his breakfast-lunch-dinner. so far he has only taken two extra strength tylenol. doc said he may or may not need vicodin; nurse was a real 'downer' type and insisted he would have pain once the novacaine wore off around his belly button. thank you, "miss encouraging"! :-)
guess i'll have to fill the rx in case he needs it.

Right now I am just so happy I could cry. I just talked to my oldest daughter who just returned from her 16 day trip to Europe. After talking a mile a minute trying to tell me everything that happened in the last 16 days, I finally got a word in edgewise to ask her what impressed her the most. What impressed her the most, she said, was that everywhere she went, without exception people were so nice to her. They were really concerned when they went over, with all the stuff they were hearing in the news that they would not be well received, but she said that clearly was not the case...AT ALL.

She said even in Paris, where she walked all over the city...often alone and sometimes late at night, (Thank God I didn't know that) everyone was so friendly, and so nice to her that they went out of their way to help her with menu's and directions. She said she practically had to beat them off with a stick.

She had the time of her life! I am so happy for her, because if anyone deserved this...she did. She is a most wonderful human being. (and I am not just saying that because she bought hubby and me a wool blanket from Edinburough).

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Guess what!?!!?



Right now....

I found a TON of eggs in one of my fishtanks!!!

My little angelfish are having BABIES!!!!

Right now, I guess "Otis" isn't really an "Otis" (or "nigel" isn't really a "Nigel"). I need to figure out which one mom is.
