The 30 Day Diabetes Miracle

I recently heard an interview with one of the authors of the The 30 day Diabetes Miracle on the Diabetes Powershow podcast and picked up the book today on my way home from work. So far (I’m on page 60), it’s well written and filled with loads of information. I think my […]

senseless tragedy

This news article about the 11 year old girl in Wisconsin who died of diabetic ketoacidosis is so very sad. While her parents sat by and prayed for her, she suffered needlessly as her body shut down.
When my youngest child was diagnosed with type I diabetes at age 10 (she is now 11) in […]

a dinosaur and a tree

I pass this dinosaur each day on my way to work.  I’m not sure why he’s at this particular place of business.  It’s some sort of concrete or statuary place, I think.  I don’t think it’s an icon… er, mascot… uhm, symbol… whatever it’s called.  My mind is blank right now when it comes to […]

Imperfect men are just… better

I recently read this article by Claudia Goulder and wanted to keep a link here.
There’s something endearing about someone who is not afraid of being true to who they are.

Thanks, marijose for posting a link to the article on The Johnny Depp Zone.

interview

The Barnes and Noble Meet the Writers podcast with Steve Bertrand is one of my favorite podcasts. Recently, I listened to an interview with Steve Cojocaru. He’s recently written Glamour, Interruped. In the interview, Steve Cojocaru spoke about his diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease, his career, and his outlook on life.
My […]

Sophie

I was trying to get a photo of Sophie’s smile. I’m still working on that. When I lay on the floor to take photos, she and Smokey wind up on top of me.
When I looked through today’s photos, my favorite one was this one. I like the bookshelves in the background […]

LibriVox

I recently discovered LibriVox. It’s a site full of free audio books that can be downloaded right into your iTunes. That’s right… FREE!
From the LibriVox home page:
“LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the net. Our goal is to make all public domain […]

ketchup.. always a family favorite

I’m currently reading Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34 by Bryan Burrough. It’s about John Dillinger and his gang, Bonnie and Clyde, the Barker Family, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, Alvin Karpis and the FBI guys led by J. Edgar Hoover. For […]

sssssssssssssssss

I know someone who likes to drag out the “s” sound at the end of her words. It’s only when a word ending in the “s” sound is at the end of a sentence.
Like,
“I’m so glad it’s almost Christmasssssss.”
or
“Would you like some mintssssssss?”
It usually does not bother me, but today I wanted to scream […]

a book review

Last week, I received a book in the mail to review from Turner Publishing Company.
Historic Photos of Oklahoma Cityby Larry Johnson.
I grew up in Southeastern Oklahoma, Broken Bow to be exact, and moved to the Oklahoma City area in my early 20’s. I had not seen photos of the area in the late 1800’s […]
