Is that normal?

Is it normal that I have this burning desire to get type 1 diabetes pun t-shirts made and wear them around?

In my mind this is the best idea ever. It sounds like a blast!

This idea entered my mind the other night through a pin on pinterst (as many great ideas do).

I saw and repinned this pin.

This pin was the funniest thing in the world to me at that moment. "So so funny!" I thought. I couldn't wait for Aj to get home so I could share this saying with him. I thought "He is going to roll over in laughter." and yes he did also get a good chuckle out of it like a good type 3 diabetes husband should.

So I'm not going to explain to you why this is the best type 1 joke ever if you don't get it. If you don't get it you don't get it, if you get it you get it. Because you know, they always say that if you have to explain a joke to someone then it's not funny anymore.

I want this on a t-shirt, minus the wolf. I don't get the wolf part.

I would wear it around very proudly. and giggle as people asked what it meant.

The best part about type 1 diabetes for me is finding ways to make it funny and laugh about it. Diabetes isn't fun, but laughing is always fun.

Watercress

Why is grocery shopping so challenging sometimes?

I know I know. Mom's out there, please roll your eyes at this twenty something who has no children calling grocery shopping challenging. But, I really did have such a hard time doing this said activity today.

I had strategical planned to go grocery shopping at 11am today cause I thought the grocery store would be pretty empty.

My thought: Who's free to go grocery shopping at 11am on a Tuesday besides mom's and graduate students?

Well everyone is apparently.

and on top of that, every single Christiansburg Kroger store employee saw this as the appropriate time to bring out those Home Depot like flat bed carts to block the aisle's and restock the selves.

Struggle much?

Why yes I did. Not only could I barely maneuver throughout the store, but I couldn't find frickin watercress! Some may ask, "Ummmmm what's watercress?" Well I say to you, that's I darn good question that I also had before heading to the grocery store. Before yesterday, I really didn't even know what it was either. The only reason it was on my grocery list was because two new recipes I'm planning on trying out this week called for it. I've never had it. When I first saw the ingredient I thought it was a type of nut (Clue: It's not a type of nut).

Just like every other street smart person out there, I made sure to google it before I went to the Krogery store. To me, it just looked like it was regular lettuce that's was gonna cost more because it had a fancy name. But I decided to still get it and added to my grocery list because it's fancy name made it sound healthier than one's normal leaf of choice.

Watercress. Couldn't find it. Produce section right? I don't know!

I wandered and wandered around the produce section. I mean, I wandered for a good 10 minutes looking and reading every label and then went off and did the rest of my grocery shopping and then wandered back to the produce section again at the end just to look some more. Now, this wandering wouldn't have been a problem if the place was empty like this girl strategically planned for. We all know/we all should know that you can't just wander around and take your sweet time when other human beings have their crap together and are just getting their bizness flat out done. You get in the way and/or start to look a little crazy. When a store is busy you quickly go from just looking like that confused girl that's float float floatin around to that rude girl who lacks any awareness of others.

So.........

I bought spinach leaves instead. Was this a comparable choice? No idea.


Immmmmmmmmaaaa baaacccck :)


Believe it or not, I actually already have a blog post written to post tomorrow too!
