Taxes, Vitamins, and blood sugar.

Taxes have been filed for another year, glad to be getting some money back. I enjoy working on the taxes, I just don't always understand what needs to go where, which is why we always have our taxes done. Tax season makes me a little sad that I changed my major from accounting to human services, but my new major fits me better, I think.

Anyway, so vitamins! I decided that I needed to supplement my diet since starting this nutrition class. I knew I was lacking in the way that I ate, but I had no idea how much! So, I added just a women's one a day, nothing fancy, just a true supplement. It's been five days so far, and now I can't eat! I'm never very hungry, and when I eat, I can't eat a whole lot. What's up with that? Vitamins aren't supposed to make you full, are they? I am also having trouble deciding what to eat. I used to be starving all the time, and knew I had to have, just HAD to have something specific, not the last few days though. I may ask my instructor about this, cause it seems weird to me.

My blood sugars are normalizing a lot over the last week. I added glipizide to my insulin, and it seems to be what I was missing. I am almost normal in the mornings, and my sugars stabilize faster after meals now. Hmm, maybe it's the combination of vitamins and glipizide? Hellifiknow. Anyway, that's it for now.

Easy does it

So J's birthday was yesterday, and we had a nice afternoon and evening. We all went to Cheesecake Factory, and had some yummy foods. I had two snack plates instead of a meal, since I am trying to eat better while I'm taking this nutrition class. I had a greek salad (roma tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and cukes), and fried zucchini. I know, it was fried, but I passed on the bread, so it balances out, right? ;)

Anyway, we also got J some new shoes, he got some green and black things that are nice, I like them a lot. Then we went to Best Buy and he bought Moon. Was a nice, mellow night, and we all had a good time. :)

Baklava

CJ made some amazing baklava on Saturday! I don't know if she took a picture, but if she did I'll have her post it.

On a side note, we tried for the second and third times yesterday, to get CJ her drivers permit. One place was closed permanently,  and the other was closed for MLK's holiday. That poor girl, I know I'd be so disappointed! We will try again next weekend.

Wow

Havent updated in a while it seems. Well, yesterday was the last day of school and AJ and I are finally FINISHED.
Soo happay. =]]
JK's friend from Missouri was in town and came over to visit and spent the night on the big bean bag, and he has long hair now. lol it was epic. I made pie and although it wasnt my best, it turned out ok and tasted fine. You can check it out on my other blog: http://nummyness.blogspot.com/
....soo...
AJ and KK are at the store right now, picking things up fer dinner, and Im at home with JK...heh jk... and he is trying to fix up the sound thingy. Its this AV Receiver or something like that. I can never remember.
Haha so anyway, it shut down from being so hot last nite, and so JK took the top grid-heat-letting-out-thingy off the top and saw a whole buncha fluffs of grey fur!
Turns out it was all Zeus's cuz he lays up there so much. So we vacuumed it out haha. Then it kept turning off so he's trying to make it work or re-wire it or something.

OMG the best song ever this week isss:: You Dont Know Me by Ben Folds and it sounds super awesome cuz its feat. Regina Spektor.
ya so..
Oh on the 18th, we had knights day.
Its like a field day fer junior high, but like, they have those big inflatable thingys and stuff around. People face paint and bring out the popcorn and cotton candy machines. Its so much fun. I had a blast last year and this year I wasnt so sure cuz all my friends seemed to be nowhere and i could never find em. So instead I hung out with one of AJ's friends: Lexa, and he is sooo funny! He and I are like bffs now and Evinn talks to me more. They both are sevies that went to AJs school last year and I like em better than my other friends haha.

Oh dad, if you're readin this, then Im soo sorry about not getting my last concert recored to you. Mom brought the camera and everything but it freaked out and died like ten minutes into the whole choir thing that was up before us. We played well though =]
Did I happen to mention that Im not taking bass/orchestra next year? Yeah Im doing my whole culinary arts thing, and its not like Im good enough with the bass to make anything of it. I might pick it up again later but not this next school year.
Besides, I really need to be able to have a bass at home to practice cuz the time in class is not enough for me to keep up. When I do take it home, I practice for hours willingly. I love it but its also just too darn expensive.

But so ya, thats the news recently and..ummm yeeah.
Peace, Love and Partay ;D
