Where ya been girl...

Well, since I asked... let me tell you where I've been :)


I am so out of the loop. Justin has missed more school in the last few weeks than he has in the past three years combined. Including missing this entire week. DAMN FLU SHOT THAT DIDN'T STOP THE FRIGGIN FLU!!!!!


Make that STUPID DAMN FLU SHOT TIMES TWO!!!! Because now Leighanna has a fever.


We had fevers up to 103.5... low blood sugars... then high blood sugars. I have stacked insulin like nobodies biz-ness and still couldn't budge those 200's.

He's been hungry... CONSTANTLY! It figures that the Flu that runs through my house would make you want to eat. In that case... I'm sure to get it.

I have been out of the loop for a little over two weeks, but if feels like its been f.o.r.e.v.e.r.

During my hiatus... I dove it to a few good books.


DON'T LAUGH!!! But the roll my eyes, no thanks cuz I'm not interested in Vampires and Ware wolves girl turned overnight Twilight J.U.N.K.I.E has been away reading all.four.books.


Fuck yes people... I read Twilight in ONE DAY. That shit is addicting.


The fact that Justin was sick kinda helped because I laid there with him (to keep him company of course) and read while he watched T.V.


I am not exaggerating when I say... had it not been for a sick child, work, a birthday party, volunteering at school, a field trip, cooking lunch/dinner and etc... I would have had a four books read in 4 days. Because of all the above mentioned distractions... it took me eight :)



This all from a girl who has NEVER finished a book in her life.


YEP! I had all four books finished 8 days after I pick up the first.


I became lost, absorbed, engrossed in those books. I couldn't put them down.



THEN... would you believe that I re-read Breaking Dawn AGAIN this week while Justin held me hostage in the room.


SURE DID!!! And it was just as good the second time around.


I can't wait until the movie comes out. I know - I know... J.U.N.K.I.E!!


So that's my story. Sickness, birthday parties, field trips, work AND TWILIGHT!!!!!!!

You guys were right... the books are awesome :)

Wazzup Wednesday...

Wazzup Peeps?

It's that time again... Man did this week go by fast! What do you suppose has been happening around our house?

Let's see...

Justin had an Endo appointment today. His A1C was a "not-so-shabby" 6.7.

I'll take it since I have seen non-insulin-budging numbers in the upper 300 and 400 for the last 6 days. We also experienced our first "HIGH" on the meter since diagnosis(that one was actually a bad site... but still).

The TV in our family room broke so I have not been able to do my Latin hip shaking... dancing with the stars exercise video in the last few days. But I have been good with eating. I hope to be doing the Meringue again as soon as we get a new bulb :)

TWILIGHT!!! EEEEK!!!!
I have watched those damn movies several times since Friday. Anthony is ready to scream.

I however, LOVE THEM and could not believe I got any response at all about that last post. I have to admit... though I am not going to leave team Edward... Jacob is HOT!!!!

AND, I am listening to your suggestions about the books... turns out... my friend has all four books and said I could use them... so I have one question...

Should I start at the beginning or should I jump right to Breaking Dawn to find out what happens next?
PLEASE... I need your help on this.

 

Around the D.O.C

There are TWO... YES, I said TWO giveaways this week.

This weeks Sugar Bolus is being hosted by...

And a two year D-Aversary giveaway is happening at...

SWEETNESS!!!! That's all I have to say :)

Well I think thats it... please let me know if I missed anything.

 

Hooked...

I've never been the type to get hooked on certain "hyped up" movies such as Harry Potter(no thanks), Star Trek(not.so.much) Etc... you get the picture. I have always been a sucker for a good love story or love/comedy; like Hope Floats, The Notebook, How to loose a guy in 10 days and all the other mushy, the girl gets the guy, make you feel all good kinda stuff.

So when all the Twilight hype started I took my usual "who cares" approach. I had no desire to watch it, not into vampires and wolves, bla bla bla.

Well... a few weeks ago I caught the last half of Twilight because it came on Showtime and the curiosity to how the movie started was born.

This brings me to this past weekend(Friday to be exact). The family went out to Buffalo Wild Wings and we ran into some friends. OF COURSE we crashed their dinner and we all sat an caught up. During dinner, I asked if she has seen any of the Twilight movies. She not only seen them... she has them ALL on DVD. Hello!

Long story short... we stopped by her house so I could borrow the movies.

That night both the kids wanted to watch... with a little hesitation on the matter, I agreed. The first movie was Great. I kept thinking that I should have watched that a damn long time ago. After it was over... I put the kids to bed and was like... shit, my ass is wide awake... I just throw in New Moon and even if I fall asleep... I finish tomorrow.

FALL ASLEEP MY ASS!!! Though New Moon is not my fav... at the end... I was left ready for more.

So there I was... should be sleeping because I don't get a whole lot of that and its like 2am... but NO! I HAVE TO KNOW! And at that point... wide ass awake... I slip Eclipse into the DVD player.

Yes! At this point I realize that I have serious issues :/

At the end of Eclipse, I was still left wanting more. I seriously can't wait until the next one comes out. And, at this point, if I had to choose, Eclipse would have to be my favorite of the three so far. However, don't forget that the first one had me hooked so it is pretty up there in the "that's a good movie" category.

Definite intense love story that makes you want more.

I leave this post (that came out of left field) with these words of admittance...

Hi! My name is Lora and

I AM SO TEAM EDWARD!
