Hobbit-ish Potpurri: This and That

Good Morning Humble Readers...

I hope you're all doing well.  I'm a bit dopey this morning as it appears that insomnia has made a come back.  I just can't seem to stay asleep.  One good thing about insomnia... It gives me a great time to catch up on my blog reading and commenting. 

*****
A huge thank you to everyone who offered to help me out with my shipping dilemma.  You are all superstars!  Things are now in process, and I'm hoping to have my crib bedding in a couple of weeks. 

*****
So, the diaper bag... this is the one I decided on.

 It's not quite as cute as I was hoping, but it still looks more like a purse than a diaper bag.  I also love that it comes with attachments so that it clips to the stroller handle.  I'm justifying the price because this is going to end up being my purse for the next couple of years or so (at least!) so I was willing to spend what I would spend on a quality purse.

*****
Do any of you remember this little lady?

It's time for the smushed fertility goddess to be on her way.  When Lindsay of "Destined To Be An Old Woman With No Regrets" sent her to me last year, it was under the proviso that I pass her along to one of my bloggy sisters when the time was right.  Watch for her to be showing up on a blog near you!  I will tell you that this little piece of clay is going to be going on a long journey.  I just really hope she makes it in one piece.

*****
I have been doing more cooking... Yesterday, I made a shepherd's pie that is now residing happily in my freezer, along side a big container of beef stew and another big container of italian sausage and black bean soup.  I feel like I'm making a bit of progress on my list!  Yay! 

*****
Just when I think my blood sugars are coming into line, I have a morning like today.  I don't know if something happened with my insulin (when I took the needle out, it leaked a bit) or what, but yesterday was a great day and today my numbers and ketones are awful.  I had the same thing for breakfast today as I did yesterday.  Ugh!  Maybe the insomnia is a part of this equation?

    I have found some diaper bags that are nice and gender neutral so hubby doesn't feel like a dork, but they are expensive so far. I would love to do the cooking you are doing! I want to keep an eye out for a deep freeze so I have room for stored foods and breast milk. Ours is TEENY and prone to ice chunks. You are being so productive !! Awesome!

    stress is a factor in blood sugar... so if you aren't sleeping I'm sure that factors in too. I can never get the needle not to leak so I always add a bit extra so it's covered. And I'm looking into a new doc now because I suffer from the dawn effect and apparently my current doc doesn't know how to deal with it. oh well. Like the new bag!

Hobbits are social creatures, and love hearing from friends old and new. Pull up a comfy chair and let's get to know one another.
