The Cheerios Mystery

I like plain Cheerios and apparently my body does too, as in hardly any insulin needed! For some reason, the 25-35 grams of carbs (sometimes I eat more than the 1 svg or I drink the milk) that are ingested on a Cheerio day reacts like I only ate maybe 10-15. I have finally realized that and only bolus 3/4s of what is usually required for that amount of carbs. Makes me feel like the ol' pancreas is working sometimes...

Anybody else have a food that acts back-a$$ backwards for insulin needs?

My new website and blog are coming along swimmingly! I'm going to work on it a lot this weekend-though it going to be in the 70s might make that hard!

"Kitty, that's my pot pie!"

This is what was created out of the leftover roast chicken. I used a 9" deepdish pie plate and only used puff pastry on the top. I have an aversion to soggy bottoms. We had another couple over and between the 4 of us-actually the guys ate 3/4s of it-it disappeared! There were plenty of South Park pot pie quotes laughed at :)

Pelmet Tutorial

Finally here it is! These are super easy, quite quick and don't cost much at all. Things you'll need: Foam board (use your Micheal's coupons!) Cotton batting-I bought the crib-size and still have leftovers Fabric Glue gun and glue sticks-I used 2 long ones Duct tape Picture hangers or small brackets of your choice Step 1: Measure your window width and cut or tape more than one piece of foam board together to fit the space if needed. I made sure it was at least 1" beyond each side of the wood moulding. Remember you'll add thickness and need to attach brackets. Mine were 64" long, 9" tall and the sides were 2" wide, your proportions may be different depending on the window size and style. Duck tape holds it all together nicely. I did add wooden chopsticks to the middle where I taped two long pieces together so it didn't bend. You won't have to do this if your window is smaller....

If you want some blog and web-candy, check out some of my favorite sites. Some are wedding idea sites, and some are just plain pretty. Style Me Pretty is a definite necessary website to check out for anyone planning a wedding or something fancy. Tons of ideas, pretty pictures and also local vendors can be found on this beauty of a site!. Eat Drink Pretty Fresh from St. Paul! Another blogilicious page that has all kinds of creative, delicious and beautiful ideas. Little Birdie Secrets is a new one for me, but it has all kinds of crafty ideas for any occasion. What I'm admiring are the organza flower tutorials .
