Look! on the skin
The symbol of what lies within.
Now turn red to tempt Snow White
To make her hungry for a bite...
--the Wicked Queen, Walt Disney's Snow White, 1937
There's nothing like a fresh fall apple. Crisp, juicy, sweet or tart, whatever your preference. Think of pick-your-own orchards, fresh apple pie, baked apples, candy apples, caramel apples, apple bobbing at Hallowe'en, Mrs. Prindable's chocolate-covered apples at Thanksgiving and Christmas...

While driving to a funeral in the Catskill Mountains yesterday, I called home and Susanne said "don't ask."
Charlie has been terribly high lately. I stared ahead at the cars on Route 17 and a valley of farmlands in the distance and responded sarcastically after getting the wretched numbers out of her.
"Fantastic."
The highs at school have been affecting Charlie emotionally in the last few days. With a blood sugar of 370, he had to skip the munchkins from the first of two in-class birthday parties. He had sugar-free Jell-O instead and was on the edge of losing it.
The kids were being rowdy and loud after the teacher had asked for quiet time.
"The ones who are still talking should stand up and go get a slip," Mrs. R said firmly.
Only one kid stood up.

She flew up the stairs covered in traveling gear and paper bags.
"I brought treats!" she announced.
The last time she traveled to Iowa she brought back chocolates from a local bakery. They were really yummy and mostly devoured by my coworkers and I fairly quickly. One of my coworkers really raved about those chocolates, so it was no surprise when the traveler went straight to her office with a bag of goodies.
When I walked into the room where we normally put public treats, I had, honestly, forgotten they were there. It wasn't the same box of chocolates I thought would have been there. Looking at the box of pastries and plate of cookies I thought I might allow myself a treat anyway.
"What are these again?" I asked to the traveler in the office next door.
Coconut macaroons and some other pastry name I didn't recognize. Not being a coconut fan, it was easy for me to pass up the cookies.
"What exactly is this?" I wondered to the traveler. (READ MORE)

A week ago I was all prepared to write a post about how I was ready to lose weight. I was tired of my muffin top and of my clothes being too tight. And I fear this summer's trip to the beach in a bathing suit.
That was a week ago. A week ago, when I was ready to dig my workout clothes out from their hiding places. A week ago, when I was ready to shun fast food and treats. It's amazing what a week can do. (READ MORE)

A poster named Peg asked a question on one of my recent posts. She wanted to know if I had any suggestions on how to get her grandson to stop sneaking food that he wasn't supposed to have.
I don't know what kind of regimen your grandson is on, so I'm not sure exactly how much help I can be, but I'll give you suggestions for what we've done with Olivia. Maybe one of these will work with your grandson.

I've kind of given up when it comes to the holidays. Olivia's pretty good about not going nuts with the junk, but it's there and I'm not going to tell her she can't have something. I will ration, to a certain extent, but we talk about it and work out a compromise.
It's really hard sometimes, though, especially with the homemade baked goods. I SWAG bolus a lot and I must admit, I'm pretty good at it. Olivia does stay away from things like Hello Dollies and fudge, but she does like cookies and pies and such.

OK, I really don't hate Halloween. In fact, I really like the "holiday". I love to see well-done costumes and to watch my children have so much fun gathering all that candy and showing off their costumes. It's fun to watch them have fun. Even my office-mates enjoy the black-and-orange season. This morning we all walked downstairs to see the parade of three-year-old preschoolers come through in their costumes while trick-or-treating at the downtown businesses. We oohed and aahhed at the pirate, the princess, the flower and the pilot. (READ MORE)

When Oliver fell down the school stairwell, I’ll admit I was skeptical. It was the same footage from the original Hannah Montana episode, and I don’t think I liked it the first time either. I didn’t like that the first depiction of diabetes was that of a kid falling down the stairs.
But Susanne, being the voice of reason, was quick to mention that it could happen; if he was very low.
Charlie had another take on it.
"He’s high," I think, Charlie said.
"I’m silly when I’m low, but if I’m really high, my eyes feel funny and I get a little dizzy."
Hats off to Disney.
Sugar Boy? Gone.
Oliver’s zombie-like lust for sweets that he couldn’t touch? Completely rewritten.
