30 Christmases.....SWEET!!!


Yesterday was my 30th Christmas with Diabetes.

Life didn't stop with the diagnoses
My Christmas continues to be merry
Christmas lights are still magical
Mistletoe still means the same thing
Presents with special meanings still live in my heart for ever
My nieces & nephews still make me laugh
I still know & sing all the words to "I'm Mr. Heat Miser/ I'm Mr. Snow"
I continue to watch "The Christmas Story" Marathon

Fruit Cakes are still disgusting

Christmas cookies are not off limits & I still bake the best damn macaroons EVER
This year I baked a pumpkin pie and it was delicious

"It's a Wonderful Life"
And like George Baily, I want to lasso the moon and swallow it whole

I spread my Diabetes gospel through laughter & validation

Diabetes is part of me, and life is sweet.

Frosty The Snow.....Pig?

So I was out and about yesterday, on my way to various Christmas destinations when I drove by "Frosty the Snow Pig" and laughed out loud!

I stopped my car in the middle of the street, grabbed my iphone, got out of the car and took a pic.

I stood there in the middle of the street, seriously contemplating calling him "Pancetta the Holiday Snow Pig" and creating his back-story, which involved Jack Frost, maple syrup, and a chicken named Hal. Until I was jolted back into reality by the stream of cars beeping their horns and telling me to get a move on!

Anyway,
Frosty/Pancetta and I hope your Christmas Day was filled with love, laughter, and BACON!
