You know when you go over to someone’s house after a vacation and they make you look through all their vacation photos. What is it about blogging that makes it somewhat acceptable?
How about we get through all of the vacation pictures in one post?!
What you’re looking at includes:

Playing with my camera settings by [...]

Whew! I can’t believe I haven’t posted in days! Even with two weeks off work, it doesn’t seem like enough time. My mom and I just got back last night from visiting my brother and his family in the Vegas area. Of course, you will all be subjected to those pictures later! Another great part [...]

The Glory of Christmas

Whew! It has been busy here in Southern California since I got home. I got in late Friday night, and my mom and I spent all day Saturday shopping. We were really looking forward to a relaxing Sunday afternoon after church.

What do Wii need?

Before it gets too late, I wanted to finish my Thanksgiving holiday posts. While their mom was putting out the breakable Christmas decorations, I helped the kids write their letters to Santa.

What would NPH do?
I almost ALOL the middle of the movie theatre when I saw this poster.
Sure, they mean Neil Patrick Harris, but I wonder how many diabetics thought of their old insulin.

For me, NPH was my first experience with insulin. It was an interesting ride – as I was never exactly sure [...]
