Glucose: The Monster Inside

Posted by Candy October 17th, 2008

So I had an early glucose test done (the one hour) because both of my parents are diabetic. And guess what?
I failed. Miserably.
So I’m going in Monday morning for the 4 hour test. Oh yay! I’m dreading the fact that I have to fast after midnight the night before and then somehow try to function [...]

Growing Up Means…

Posted by Candy August 7th, 2008

Doin’ the stinkin’ dishes. On a regular basis, too! Ugh. There are a lot of things in my life that I’m noticing more and more lately that make me feel like I am finally starting to grow up. Sometimes they’re good things… Sometimes they’re not so great. Growing up can mean so many different things [...]

Hit and Run

I thought Marriage was supposed to do that but I still have two more months before that happens and I’m already feeling a little on [...]

Growing Up In A Bad Way

Posted by Candy August 29th, 2007

I’ve probably mentioned my back pain in the past, probably even more than once. A little over a month ago I missed almost an entire week of work due to back pain. It was so excruciating, that I couldn’t take more than a couple of tiny steps without having to hold on to something. When [...]

House pictures, finally!

Posted by Candy June 3rd, 2007

I finally was able to get some basic photos up of our house. They’re on my flickr account, which is located in the sidebar. I uploaded about 40 pictures, so you may wanna actually go to my flickr and check out the “home” set. There are a lot of projects we want to do to [...]
