Near Death, New Life, Stick and String Disaster

T and I started a new diet on Monday.

This diet promptly tried to kill me, and has since been amended to include things that will allow my body to remain upright, conscious, and living.

Hopefully I still lose weight.

It would seem that someone with mild hypo-glycemia issues should not cut all sugar and carbs out of their diet. It can cause something called keitosis, which is bad.

Bad bad bad.

I ate a plum and a whole wheat cracker and felt better instantly.

Praises.

My dear old friend Moni (From Mo and Ozzy, over to your right) welcomed their firstborn son last night. From all text messages received and stalker-ish familial blog surfing on my part, he is a big healthy boy with really rockin' parents. (And seems to be a member of the red-headed club, which rocks!) Congratulations to you both--Many blessings to your family. :)

Due to the new arrivals in this world as of late (another friend of mine had the same due date as Moni, and I believe she is giving birth to her second daughter as we speak), I have been knitting, and knitting, and knitting.....and failing, and failing, and failing.

Seriously? write knitting patterns in ENGLISH, please. Lord.

So all my friends with new babies? I have to wait until my mom deciphers the pattern for me before I finish the gifts for your newest members. I assume this is ok, as it is July and knitted items aren't in great demand at the moment.

Thanks.
