Topic 1: Find A Friend

Karen never makes life easier with her blog topics. Yet, knowing Karen as more than just a name, I get her and why she likes to challenge us. Maybe though she is just being a brat. I don't know. Either way I love her.

So for the first day we have been given this enticing topic: Find A Friend - It seems the most popular thing about Diabetes Blog Week is that it helps us find blogs we weren’t reading yet and connect with some new blog friends.  With that in mind, let’s kick off Diabetes Blog Week by making some new connections.  Think about the d-blogs you read that you think we may not know about and introduce us to one that you love!!  Let’s all find a new friend today!

The funny thing about this blog topic is that I don't have an answer or a real way to actually write something here. For those of you that do read me on some sort of regular basis, you may find it odd that I am speechless. It's just that helping others find a friend or a blog that they have yet to read is hard. I am still new to this blogging thing just over a year old. Most of the people I read you all read. In fact Jess over at Me and D sums it up the best. Well she at least links you to all of the people I typically read and well I am just lazy. Sara who links people to me today calls me out for my blogging issues, yet those are issues of the past. There was a small part of me that didn't want to link to Sara out of spite. Yet I am beyond that.

(New paragraph) <----- That is an old annoying joke at Sara's expense. Yes at times my grammar is bad, however since she called me on it back in July/August much to her chagrin I have tried to fix some of her complaints. So I was a little put out that Sara mentioned my blog as having these issues still. In fact I commented on her blog today and this is the response I saw on the twitter. Yes on the twitter it makes me sounds like an old person when I do that.



I love Sara though and I know she of all people gets me and my sarcasm. If you are new to me. I am going to warn you now in my blogs sarcasm is who I am. And well deal with it! No but seriously, that is how I write and well yeah.

Happy dblog week. I look forward to reading you and hopefully your continued finding and reading of me. 

Wordless Wednesday: Penguins

Not many people can say they have 2 penguin balloon animals. I can.

The songs come and go!

A while ago I had this bold endeavor to start taking songs and change the lyrics to fit living ones life as a person diabetes. They were entertaining and fun to do. However, they took way more time than I ever imagined they would so I stopped. That and trying to do it every week was tedious. Again because of my own BSOS (Bright Shiny Object Syndrome), I can't be constrained even by myself. Whoops. So I stopped.

Every once in awhile a song comes along though that needs to be dealt with in a way to get it out of my head. For my friends who read this you may know where this is going especially if you were hanging out with us Wednesday night. Someone, had this video she showcased sometime ago to us. She RUINED a song for me. Well not really. I think the video is awesome. It just has lost some of its connotation as I watch the American Revolution playing out in my head now. Thanks Sara! I love you.

Butt seriously, (yes I know it should be but, but we all need some butts in our life) I just get this song stuck in my head from time to time. And well now, I am making it my own. I know what you are thinking! Is Brian really going to write us a new song? Is it going to be to the tune of Dare You to Move??? That would be awesome. Well here ya go. Maybe one day, I will sing it for you all, when I go all Ryan Beatty on you and post songs to Karaoke music. (I have no idea where that reference/idea come from. I need help.)

Anyway, here is the latest "new song" written by me to someone's hard work and music.

I Feel Really Low

Woke up early morning.

Woke up feeling low.

Covered in sweat,

Covered in sweat.

Can’t get my hands to work now.

Need to get some juice, now.

What should I eat?

What happens next?

I feel really low,

I feel really low,

I need to eat something

Before I’m on the floor

I feel really low,

I feel really low,

Because I over bolused.

Because I over bolused, before.

I really hate this feeling

Feeling out of control

The shaking is here.

The shaking is here.

It’s between me and my pancreas.

It’s between how it works or should work.

I feel really low,

I feel really low,

I need to eat something

Before I’m on the floor

I feel really low,

I feel really low,

Because I over bolused.

Because I over bolused, before.

Maybe one day a cure will be found.

Maybe a pill or a shot will help out.

What can you do until a cure has been found?

What you gonna do? What you gonna eat?

The cure is not hear. (YET)

I feel really low,

I feel really low,

I need to eat something

Before I’m on the floor

I feel really low,

I feel really low,

Because I over bolused.

Because I over bolused, before.

If you have any issues or complaints tough patoots. I don't really care. Enjoy my fun or curse me in the comments. Not my problem. 

Wordless Wednesday: Satisfied

If you follow my statuses on FB you may have noticed a trend of comments since Sunday. I will just say no longer a worry for me.

First had to buy mix. Had none.

No Griddle either. Sigh.

First batch never browns right.

No comment needed.

Nom, nom, nom, nom.
