This was the initial reaction that hit me as I was innocently reading my email just now and a new message popped up: "Le Clown is now following your blog" Oh dear...*looks side to side*... If you don't know why I had this reaction you aren't following Le Clown's … Continue reading Sit Up Straight and Suck In Your Gut!

What Have I Done Lately?
Let's see...we went to Tokyo last weekend to watch a friend who does the score board for the local roller derby team. I do enjoy watching these matches, these girls are tough and skilled. It still feels kind of like an underground sport which has it's pros and cons. Not a lot of people come … Continue reading What Have I Done Lately?
Japanese Candy and Snack Experience
I decided with all of the different snacks and candies in Japan, most which have no English on the packaging, to try each one. This one has a strange flavor. Definitely not sweet. And has a powdery coating. It isn’t bad but not sure I will buy this again. If you know what I just … Continue reading Japanese Candy and Snack Experience
Lazy Reader Apology
Recently I have been a very lazy blog reader. I feel like an apology is in order to those blogs I follow for not having the patience to sit down and read your thoughts if it looks more than a few paragraphs and worse has no pictures. There is no excuse and I feel like … Continue reading Lazy Reader Apology
Peach Fuzz Confession
Being mostly half Sicilian and half Czech I am constantly obsessing over facial hair. Waxing eyebrows, upper lip and plucking in between spa visits, buying new products to try them out at home to save the expense of spa's and such. The photo below is from my pre-eyebrow sculpting days to give you an idea … Continue reading Peach Fuzz Confession
The loop-d-loop
Amazing! Happy! Joyful! Exuberant! Energetic! Healthier! In-Love! For the past year or so those have been the words I would use to describe my life. Pretty darn good. Everything came together finally, after 39 years of trying to figure this life thing out. The roller coaster heads for a loop.. Sad, Lonely, Fatigued, Quiet, Depressed, … Continue reading The loop-d-loop
Diabetes = I Kill You!
Newest blood work is back from the lab, I'm not unhappy with the results. A1C - which is the average of the last few months of blood glucose control came in at 6.1 which is really very good. From WebMD: "For people without diabetes, the normal range for the hemoglobin A1c test is between 4% … Continue reading Diabetes = I Kill You!
Blood Bank
Health update...time again for another round of blood work to check A1C level, cholesterol and such. I truly don't mind being stuck with a needle, yes the initial prick is not fun but it's never really bothered me much. What does suck is that I have to fast for 12 hours prior to the test … Continue reading Blood Bank
Mother Appreciation Day
I know, Mother's Day isn't for another month but I have an urge to post about this now so...deal with it. =P There are a few Mothers in my sphere of influence (friends and such) who have stepped up to the plate of Motherhood extraordinaire. A FORMER STEPMOTHER who fights for the rights of a … Continue reading Mother Appreciation Day
Directness to a Fault
I can't think of a time in my life where I wasn't as direct as possible in communicating. Often, there is praise for it and people seem to appreciate it even though sometimes it's dripping with sarcasm =P it just sneaks out. Sometimes, I'll fully admit, my ability to communicate my thoughts hits a wall … Continue reading Directness to a Fault
