Hi all, I've had a great evening and then some bad news. First off the great evening my DH and I had a real date. Dinner at the Japanese SteakHouse where they cook infront of you (we had a certificate from some friends from Christmas - about time we used it) and then another friend was in the play Agnes of God - played the psychologist. We enjoyed the play and then went over to their new loft apartment - just a 2 block walk down the street from all the theaters/galleries/eateries in Springfield on the historical street. Their new loft is so cool - I could live in something like that for maybe a week or two (much too small for me 995 sq. feet). It had a red cement floor in the great room then up a few steps and the bedroom/bath area was wood floor. The walls are all the old brick. We had a nice party there with the cast members/director/theater manager etc..

When we got home, the bad news hit. A dear friend who just finished cancer treatments (breast cancer) she is 34 has two children 5 and 2. She's been having horrible headaches for 7 weeks and they just told everyone that it is brain cancer -menanages or something like that (the web finger like things that carry the spinal fluid). Marilyn and Dean could use all the prayers and good wishes they can get right now.

Jul--I am really sorry for your friend and family...Unfortunately, I see it alot in my profession and everytime I have to stop and pray for the families. Hopefully it is caught early and they will do some aggressive things to help...Keep us posted...

Doing great on the diabetic diet..Still having problems with bedtime sugar and early morning one...Dont know what the deal is...It is not in the insulin range or anything, just higher than the MD wants it to be..The crazy thing is, if I was a normal diabetic, it would be great sugars!!!Hey..maybe I am just a "sweet" person!!!!:D :D :D

Take care all!!! ON a good note, we are probably having this baby the first week of Dec or the last week of Nov to prevent too much weight gain of the baby and prevent shoulder impingement from occuring if Ms Priss decided to gain in the last few weeks~!!!!

hi! 4 pages this week - wow!

Had such a fun day yesterday - went shopping w/friends at the grand opening of a mall - packed, chaotic, fun! Then went out to dinner last night w/friends. I had a gift certificate I got last year for my birthday ($100) for dinner at this restaurant and I noticed yesterday that it expires next week! So we used that last night & all had a great time. Could not let that go to waste, so glad I pulled it out this week & checked the expiration!

Also got some great new clothes yesterday!

Karen - so cool to see you so excited about the little one!:cloud9: ~ I know I had a really tough time in school when I was pregnant. (I was 19 & a full-time college student. also single). The baby was all I could think about & my grades suffered that semester.

RR - interesting info from the dietician.

Greek - good luck with the headhunter! Also have fun at the wedding.

Jul - those Japanese places are alot of fun and always have great food. ~ that sounds like such a cool loft. ~ So sorry to hear about your friend. It is heartbreaking.
