ok, on a lighter note

I added you on Flickr. I don't have any pictures up yet though. I usually use Photobucket to store all my pictures, but I have been less than impressed with them lately.

I'll try to get some pictures taken around here, but I live in the city, so there isn't much landscape to take pictures of, lol. Plenty of buildings and cars though!

I'll have to take some of the lake here. It is so pretty at sunset.

I get the "blonde" award of the day. I thought that first pic was mac & cheese and I wondered how you grew them in your garden.

I finally snapped that it was beans!

It's been a long week.

[Jenn]

Lol, I am glad you pointed out that it was beans. For some reason, I thought it was maybe apple cobbler? Maybe because I wanted so badly for it to be, lol. When I view the picture on my phone though it is obviously beans!

Gosh you all need help, mac and cheese I don't get to eat much of that and apple cobbler , I haven't eat that in over 7 years, it went with my chocolate covered donuts. somedays diebetes really gets me hard in the head, memories.I would love to have some pancakes and syrup dumped all over it right now !!The sugar free suff is good but the real thing is so much better. Sometimes I have dreams of overdosing on M&M s.I guess we all know how I got where I am.

by the way if you all have a my space , and want a nut on it .email address is [e-mail]

[Kristol]

LOL...... When you get ready Helen we will O.D. on M&Ms together.

[Jenn]

My grandma had a gastric bypass surgery so she can't eat sugar either and Helen, you would be amazed at some of the stuff she puts together. They aren't low-calorie, but nothing in the south ever is!

I went to my mom's office for lunch yesterday and she was eating M&Ms with BBQ chips. Interesting combination.

[Kristol]

That sounds like something I would be eating! LOL

[helensbassets]

I've eat that..real coke too...in ahurry,snickers for lunch
no more thou ...I eat healther now and I get out and walk, I got muscles in my legs and I'm in better shape than when I was young. I plan on living to be real old , just to spite my daughter and son.

Where are you Mary Hileman...

[elvismom]

Now I am feelig very guilty - just had an ice cream bar for dinner! I should know better because my father got diabetes late in life and it's a fear of mine.

Lately, though, it seems like making healthy food is just too hard! I get home exhausted and it's so much easier to nibble on junk than make real food!

And I have no one to blame except ME!

[helensbassets]

My mom died because of diabetes and heart trouble , her mother the same thing, both way to young. Jims father too...he was only 50, I make my kids get tested regularly.It scares me to death. I now am off of all meds because I keep a strick diet and walk. I can have sugars but I have to pay by not eatting much and excercising till my sugar goes down. testing more but that is a big pain, so I generally know to eat and not by how I feel now.I drink skim milk and tons of water now!So everyone out there try to eat better and beleive it or not ,more times a day.You well lose weight and feel better ,live longer no joke.
