10 things that make me happy!

From Saffy at T1mommy.com :)

Saffy from T1Mommy.com is encouraging all her blog readers to join in the fun and list 10 things that make them happy. If you're reading along, and have 5mins to spare, have a go! I would love to know your top 10!

The rules are as follows:

1. Copy and paste the award onto your blog

2. List who gave the award to you and add a link to their blog.

3. List 10 things that make you happy.

4. Pass the award onto other blogs and let them know you have done so. (that's you, my dear readers!!!)


Ok, here goes. These things make me happy:


1. Thinking of my wedding day :)
2. Coming home from a good day at work to find Hubby has bought groceries and is cooking me dinner!
3. Waking up with kitty sleeping next to me on my pillow.
4. Having a laugh with my friends.
5. Shopping with my sister. Shoooooes!
6. Relaxing with my family. Especially if it involves a roast chicken dinner! Yum!
7. That adrenaline rush I get when I upload a new website for the first time. Yes, I'm a geek :P
8. Having someone understand. Doesn't matter what the issue is, and it doesn't matter where in the world they are :D
9. Chocolate.
10. And feeling healthy while getting good blood sugars, despite number 9!


Oh and I can think of so many other things that make me happy! Like getting out and taking photos. Going exploring. Dinner at our favourite little Italian restaurant where the waitress knows our drink orders by heart. Cooking a big dinner for ALL the family and kids. Watching a whodunit on telly and figuring out the mystery. Seeing the kids faces when they open their Christmas pressies. I can think of heaps! How about you?


Post a comment to let me know you're taking part! :D

Diabetes Blog Week

So I've only just started blogging about diabetes and stuff, I'm pretty new at it all. But I really like Karen's (from BitterSweet blog fame) idea to blog together as a community for a week about set topics.

I will give it a try :) Should be very interesting to see what other people write about too. Here is the "agenda":
  • Monday 5/10 - A day in the life . . . with diabetes


  • Tuesday 5/11 – Making the low go


  • Wednesday 5/12 – Your Biggest Supporter


  • Thursday 5/13 - To carb or not to carb


  • Friday 5/14 - Let's get moving


  • Saturday 5/15 - Diabetes snapshots


  • Sunday 5/16 - Dream a little dream - life after a cure
Should at the very least get me writing a lot! :D

Found a couple of great blogs to read

I have been bored at work, so have been idly surfing the interwebs. I always find myself reading something diabetes-related, usually I'm looking at insulin pump stories, or seeing the flash products available in America. Today I found these two gems:

Hope you enjoy them! :)

Wonderful ladies who blog about diabetes and pregnancy

I just found out that you don't normally get an obstetrician until after you become pregnant, and even then you may not need one.

I feel a bit special, since I've met my ob/gyn already. Have a read through some of my earlier posts to find out how that happened. :)

I would like to share a couple of links with you, to two blogs I am following:


Both of these women blog about their experiences as type 1 diabetics having their first child.

There are plenty of IVF blogs, and even some on youtube, but nothing that has caught my fancy to follow yet. And no luck yet finding a blog dealing with diabetes, pregnancy, IVF, and vasectomy! I will keep looking!

Have my first ob/gyn sanctioned blood tests tomorrow, and I can't wait! (Unusual, I know: normally a blood test is the last thing a diabetic wants!)

Wish me luck! :)
