Well, he started it. By winning, I mean my numbers were lower. You should see the blood bath when we do blood sugars in the morning.:ROFLMAO:

I just love it when someone posts something and it makes a reminder for me. Have to test my sugar. I have been trying to remember to test it at least once a day. I am so bad when it comes to testing it. Sometimes a week can go by before I remember. And I keep the glucometer right next to my bed along with the strips and lancet in full sight. I look right past it. :angel:
 
Now that sounds interesting! Will keep that in mind. I too love cream cheese frosting. Just never thought to flavor it! :angel:

I had heard of cream cheese frosting Addie, but I assumed it would be as bad, if not worse, than buttercream icing.

But actually, cream cheese frosting is delicious!

Mind you, I suppose it does depend how much sugar you add to it!

I made mine with Mascarpone, coffee, and icing sugar. Honestly, I was licking the bowl out! :LOL:
 
+1! Dueling blood pressures???

The daily ritual of taking blood pressure readings, he gets his machine out, I get mine and we GO!!! Yes, we don't share one...Shrek keeps forgetting to move the button to the second person and I get very erratic data when I upload my readings for the doctor.:rolleyes:
 
I am thanking the Internet and whoever invented "cream cheese frosting"!...
Katy, if you want something really yummy to put under that icing I suggest you make a Hummingbird Cake. I have an old recipe (1979) from a fundraiser cookbook and can't find the exact recipe online. However I did run across a lightened up version that I think I will try. No guarantee how this recipe turns out but it sounds good. Also, the directions tell you to pour the batter into 3 round cake pans. I would make 3 cakes in throw-away foil pans (about 7x10 inch?) and freeze two of them without the icing and make just 1/3 of a recipe worth of icing. That way if I wanted a quick dessert I had the cake part ready.
 
I'm listening to intermittent cat complaints. I put Shreddy in the guest room, with food, water, and a litter box. We're not supposed to sleep with him for two weeks. I don't want to wake up and find him snuggled up next to me. Well, actually I do, but I'm being cautious. Shreddy is not happy. Poor boy.
 
Separation Anxiety. How sweet! He'll probably "mark" all the upholstery furniture when you let him out in the morning. :ermm:
Oh dear, I hope not. His urine is radioactive. He doesn't mark upholstery, but he has been known to pee on the floor when he's ticked off. That's bad enough. I have to wear disposable gloves to clean up any messes he makes for the next two weeks. And, then it has to be flushed or put in a bag that stays outside the house for three months before going in the regular garbage. :ermm:
 
Kitty diapers?

I just finished lunch, two Canadian bacon sandwiches and a piece of cheddar, and just walked by the front window in time to see my one neighbor standing on her porch and snapping a picture... of the septic tank pumping out their tank.
hmmm...
 
You have a strange neighbor pac. :LOL:

I'm stalling. I have to wash my hair. It has gotten so long it takes a while to rinse, and then to dry enough. I'm trying to get it long enough so I can donate to Locks of Love. They won't use it for wigs because of the gray, but they can sell it to offset the cost of other services. I have to get it long enough so when I do get it all cut off what is left is not really short. Like Miley Cyrus short. :ohmy:
 
Futzing here too. I took the afternoon off, as it's supposed to be the last warm day for awhile. Planned to dig up the stuff I want to overwinter, like rosemary, but my chair is so comfy and the court shows are on.

I usually get a Pixie cut with the hair as close to the scalp as she can get it. I have her leave a small bangs and some shag hair at the back. Wash and wear. I love it. Right now I need a hair cut desperately. I am going next Sat. to get it all off. Last night when I took my shower, I took a look at my hair and it is a disaster. So I got out my curlers and set my hair. Good grief, it has been years and some eons since I had to set my hair. But when I combed it out this morning, it looked pretty good. My whole head is one mess of curls. I have really thick hair. The envy of my sister. It will hold this curl for about a week, before it will need to be set again. By then I will have it cut off. My hair is salt and pepper. Locks of Love does make grey wigs for women whose hair is grey. I have often thought to let it grow out to donate it.

We have a store over in Malden that specializes in wigs and breast implements for women who have cancer and have had mastectomies. The Cancer Society helps pay for the wigs if a woman can't afford the full price. A lot of insurances will pay for the special bras and other needs. Even the Susan Komen Fund. Helen works very closely with any organizations that will help a woman feel whole again. When my daughter developed a serious and debilitating case of Alepeica after the death of my youngest daughter, she had two wigs made up for her. They didn't cost her a cent. :angel:

I do! They are quite the family. They should be a movie. Maybe they already are. :LOL:

I'm taking a breather right now before starting dinner. Watching the NFL Network and thinking about how much a new puppy is going to rock my other two dogs' world. Poor poochies.

No short hair for me anymore. I had really curly hair and Mom always made sure it was cut short once I became school-age. Looked like a stinkin' French poodle, especially when the style was to wear a little bow in the space between the hair coming down into bangs and the rest of the hair going back. *shudders* Thank goodness wearing it waist-long for years and pregnancy "messed" up the hair composition. Now I have, at most, a wrinkle. Can't even call it a wave. :LOL:

You must be thinking of some other organization Addie. I checked the LofL website just a few days ago and it says "Gray hair will be accepted and sold to offset the manufacturing costs".. Age 21 is the oldest they will donate wigs to.
