i spent a few hours organizing my yarn and needles into that armoire.

Yummy fabric ready to ship

did anyone else sustain life with saltines from the ages of 13-17?

more earrings! get yours here.

all the sudden i'm 30. i thought i'd be driving a mini van full of kids and happily decorating my own home. but life has shown me again that i am not in control. and as i wait for more children and a sense of being settled,

Off to the kindergarten valentine party

secondly, i must say i know carbohydrates aren't bad. i know bread is life and wheat is the staff of life. a lot of fruits and veggies are quite sugary/ starchy. for almost everyone eating all these foods in moderation will do them fine. but remember, i am trying to regulate an abnormality. to a diabetic sugar is the devil. to someone with celiac disease wheat is the devil. to someone with milk allergies dairy is the devel. and what i've come to believe that for some women who don't ovulate, high blood sugar may be their devil, and it definately is mine.

i am given glimpses of the why and the good and the reasons and the plan. the bigger picture and the necessity for some to not fit the mold. mem

i'm just obsessed with him.

they make me happy.

we gave the universe one out- if grant found a job he loved before springtime, we'd stay put. even though we wanted to go to cali really bad, and even though grant had been looking for a different job for a long time.

grant and i talked last fall about wanting to take control and own a home and make some of our dreams a reality. so we planned to move back to california for some opportunities there.

she follows me around all day, just in case she might be needed for something, anything. cute little penny is just a wee dog, but she feels strongly that part of her duty is to scare the crap out of anyone who gets near our house, just so they know no one is going to mess with her family, not on her watch. she is undeterred by bigger animals and scary men- they all get yelled at to stay away.

what a few hours on a sunny day can do for you...

cate chose these pretty little traditional valentines cards from bunny cakes. i love them.

cause that would make me happy.

from the spring/summer 09 toast catalog.

and then that got me thinking that, really, it's not just while laying in bed that she is watching out for me.

snacks: NUTS!!! i would die without nuts. i love roasted almonds, cashews, peanuts. i also love those roasted edamame. they taste like nuts even though they're not. and nuts taste really good with a few slices of swiss cheese. also deli meat slices, celery with peanut butter on it, a few whole grain crackers with cheese, beef jerky, sugar free snack packs, stuffed mushrooms, hard boiled eggs, string cheese, protein bars, crudites, and more NUTS!

my problem, dear anne, is that it is 2009. kids don't like to get all fussied up anymore, and i don't think they would go to the trouble of making up stories about lost broaches to be able to go to a silly church picnic. in my mind the little girls are wearing spring dresses and holding parasols with their gloved hands while the boys are eating biscuits and drinking homemade rootbeer with their hats and suspenders on. but i live in a dreamland where i want everything stylized. i know you understand me, anne.

lunch: whole wheat pita with tuna or deli meat or a big salad with grilled chicken.

grant and i listened and danced to his music on valentine's day.

just a phone call one night. she had an aneurysm. and although this was a surprise of the worst kind, it was the most spiritual time of my life. much good and understanding has come through that loss.

i got a lot emails about what i eat and how it effects pcos- so i hope you don't mind if i just answer all the questions here, instead of going through each email.

cate: what did you play on the computer, then?

it was the first time i realized that things don't always go how you think they will. and that it all can turn out better than you imagined.
