Come on, everyone, sing it with me. I don't care if you're at work. Your co-workers will think you're insane. Maybe they'll send you home early.
Peanut! Peanut butter!
(clap clap)
Peanut! Peanut butter!
(clap clap)
Oh, come on! That was weak! I can barely hear you. I know you're singing it in your head. This time out loud and with a little hip hop flava. So what if your boss is one cubicle away from you. It's Friday. I'm sure he or she likes a little ,
Peanut! Peanut butter!
(clap clap)
Peanut! Peanut butter!

Extra points to anyone who added a little beatbox into the mix. Guilty (raising hand modestly). Extra, extra points for anyone who pulled out a trumpet from under your desk and went all Dizzy Gillespie on it in between verses. Guilty again. (READ MORE)

Quick, top five Halloween candies.
Fine, I'll go first.
5. Baby Ruth 4. Whatchamacallit 3. Twix 2. Kit-Kat 1. Reeses Peanut Butter Cup
And just stop it Cadbury or Mars Inc. or any other bogus chocolate maker trying to come out with your own peanut butter and chocolate treat. Stop it! You're embarrassing yourself. None of you come even remotely close to the brilliance of the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup formula. When the kids get such wannabe candy dropped in their Halloween bags, I instruct them to throw it back from whence it came, like a home run ball to center field from the opposing team. (READ MORE)

Â
My addiction with diabetes blogs began in September of 2006 when I stumbled upon the Diabetes OC. We had spent the first couple of years or so of Charlie’s diabetic life insulated in our own little world. For whatever reason, we rejected the notion of support groups, stubbornly thinking it could not help us.
But I was also going through my own honeymoon period in the very beginning, as Susanne says. I bought into the rosy notion that everything would be fine as long as we tested his blood sugar just four times a day and simply counted carbs correctly. When Susanne insisted that we get up every night, I sided with the doctors who said it wasn’t necessary. I was wrong. In doing this, Susanne took the lion’s share of the worrying during the first six months.

I'm a creature of habit. Partly because I don't like change. But partly, at least when it comes to diabetes management, because I know what works and I don't want to futz with it.
We all have go-to comforts when it comes to just about everything in our lives. And when it comes to blood sugar management, I think many of us tend to err on the side of caution and stick to what we know works. (READ MORE)

When I go grocery shopping, I rarely buy junk food. If there's a big game (Yeah, sorry about last night, all you Rockies fans. Sort of sorry anyway. OK, not really sorry at all....), I might buy a bag of chips. Once in a great while, I'll buy brownie mix or I'll make cookies. It's not a regular occurrence around here, however, mainly because we don't have the money in our grocery budget to buy crap like that and also because, well, it's crap. Of little or no nutritional value.
One of the main reasons, though, is because Olivia will just eat it all up. A pan of brownies will be gone in a day. A bag of Doritos? Two sittings. It's ridiculous.

Well, it's that time of year again. The Web Warren Cookie Labs are setting up for the current season's
That we will be "open for business" is without question. That we will be performing a certain degree of "quality control" goes without saying. The sizes of most of the cookies (small to miniature) have been predetermined by previous feedback. The questions include how many varieties to make, and whether to use wheat flour or another flour, sugar or Splenda, butter or yogurt-based blends, how many versions of a particular variety to make, and which ones to decorate.

It's a bit late, but I figured I owed you all an update on the 2011 Web Warren Cookie Labs' season.
The Brown-Suited Elves delivered our 15-lb carton of Christmas Magic on the eve of 21 December, as expected. We shipped eight types of cookies, plus spiced pecans. Because our printer was refusing to, well, print, we couldn't do a funny little Christmas poem like we did last year. Instead, we printed up a "shipping manifest" over at the UPS Store. The elves there wear black with gold trim. Sadly, we found evidence of gremlins in their printer drivers, so instead of pretty, double-sided printing, we ended up with five pages of manifest-and-ingredients-list.Â
This year, the Web Warren cookie spread consisted of:

In the beginning, there is orange and black foil.  That foil is joined by yellow and red, with the black fading away.  In what seems like an instant, the yellow and orange are things of the past and the red takes hold alongside glittering green and silver. All of these beautifully colored foils, they signify the enemy.  They are the harbingers of what is, quite possibly, the most difficult time of year for me; the dreaded days between Halloween and Christmas.Â

I woke up at six this morning to sweaty sheets, shaking and that feeling in my stomach. I checked my blood sugar: 48. I attempted to swing my legs out of bed, but couldn't find the strength. So I grabbed the emergency kit under my bed and downed the glucose tabs. I think I ended up eating eight or nine of them. I wasn't really counting. I was telling myself, "Eat the sugar. Don't pass out." Not at all concerned about the blood sugar after treating the low. (READ MORE)

It had been a stressful day. I don't even remember, frankly, what was so stressful about it. But what I do remember is knowing I was getting ice cream that night. Just the thought of it, just knowing that relief was coming helped take the edge off.
I waited patiently until the kids were in bed and then promptly announced to my husband that I was going for ice cream. He knew not to argue, not to lecture. He knew to just smile and ask if there was anything I needed to talk about.
"It's just that I'm so stressed and I feel like I'm gonna cry and I don't know what's wrong and damnit I just need some ice cream!" I blubbered. (READ MORE)
