Little Hawkins Romo.

Now listen. Don't beat me up, here. But would you look at that baby? Now I'm sure that baby is just as beautiful as can be (one can hope, right?). With two parents that look like that, how could he not? But when I first looked at this photo, I kid you not, I screamed. Out loud. That baby looks scary! Or pissed! Maybe even a little possessed! I mean that kid right there is giving his parents the glare from hell! I'm not sure I'd want to be taking that little sucker home.

Welcome to the world Hawkins! You go on with your bad self!

Thanks People for the image.

Oh happy day!

My dr.'s office called:

All of my numbers are down! WOOT! Yes, even my diabetes risk!

They aren't down tons & some more than others, but they have ALL lowered!

My weight might be up, but my numbers are down! That makes no sense, but ok! I'll take it!

Now, back on the treadmill tonight - no more stalling! And today, I'm going to allow myself a diet coke! Obviously, they aren't harming me too much, because my numbers are are coming down! Just one coke, though. Then water (which I'm already drinking at 9:00 a.m.). Ü

And sometimes parents need to be reminded.

"Teach them to love to discover the earth, this life, this world for themselves. All the entertainment of today - I'm not against it. . . but I guess I just hate seeing kids sit around these days, eyes glued to something, fingers doing all the movement - but true adventure and creativity and living being lost.

Kids have to be taught to know what is good for them."

Me: "Do you know what you are? You're a 'tomboy'. Do you know what a 'tomboy' is? Have you ever heard that before?"

Jaguar: "Yep. I said it today to Tom. I said 'hey, Tomboy!'"

OMG. LOL Girl is hysterical. I love her!

Getting' skinny - 4.4.12.

Weight loss: .02 oz.

Saw my dr. this morning. In 8 1/2 months, I've gained 7 lbs. I have not gained weight in years, literally. Day to day my weight may fluctuate, but as far as the end result is concerned, I've always maintained the same weight. Dr. & myself are contributing the gain to me no longer smoking. I'll take that. Though now my struggle is even more difficult, at least I'm not smoking.

Basing my blood sugar levels off my last results, & though I'm not technically diabetic, she introduced me to two different drugs today that would regulate my levels. Even though I don't need the medication, essentially, I 'qualify' for it. The reason she mentioned them to me is because they cause weight loss. She said people who are not in danger of diabetes are calling her asking for a prescription. Ha! Taking the medication would involve giving myself two shots a day. Ack! Don't know if I'm that brave, but I told her I'd research them. I would only take one of the medications - she just gave me two different brands to look in to.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm fixing to indulge into the biggest bag of M&Ms I can get my grubby hands on, & I'll happily rinse them down with a caffeine free diet coke. Tonight, I just don't care. I hope to slip into a sugar coma & then into bed.

M&Ms aren't near as good as I remember. Sweet. :)
