Almost Wordless Wednesday: Wait, WHAAAT?!

I LOVE hellogiggles.com & follow I'm both a fan and a follower of their Facebook book page.

So you can imagine my surprise when  the following picture HG posted yesterday, showed up in my Facebook feed last night. 

YEP, I damn near spit out my juice because I was LOLing so damn hard!

HelloGiggles.com wrote about these 'movie obsessed prints" posters  and the company that creates them, Cutestreak Designs.

The above "Steel Magnolias" poster is part of a group of movie themed movie posters from CuteStreetD.
Personally, I prefer "The Big Lebowski", "The Princess Bride"; "House , and the  "This Is Spinal Tap," (OK, ESPECIALLY the Spinal Tap) prints they sell. 
But I still think it's cute - Not really sure how my pancreas feels though ;)  

“Looks Like I Picked The Wrong Week To Stop Sniffing Glue.”

“Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.” Steve McCroskey - Airplane

Every single time I think about (or attempt to start) basal testing, that’s the line that goes through my head- cause I'm weird like that. Sidebar: I LOVE the movie AIRPLANE!

But seriously- it looks like I picked the wrong week to start basal testing.

As of late, my numbers have been all over the place. I’ve been running low after dinner straight on towards midnight and waking up with high numbers the past 3 days.

The Trend graph on my borrowed CGM looks like the letter M, except of course when it looks like the letter W.

I’m not used to this crap- my a1cs are normally around 6.8. Is this what 6.8 looks like?

I don’t bloody think so!

I’m getting frustrated for several reasons, all of them valid.

1. I don’t like the thought of not eating and I don’t like the thought of being still.
2. Lets face it, the morning high numbers are not the best way to kick start my day folks.
3. There’s a chance that I might be fighting off an infection that’s causing these highs (I have to get a molar pulled and my sinuses are still clogged,) and there’s also a good chance that I’m just making excuses for said blood sugar highs.
4. Basal testing during the Easter weeks makes it difficult to enjoy Sunday’s carrot cake.
5. I have a meeting with Gary next week to discuss my basal rates and have to turn in my borrowed cgm, so the whole window of testing my basal rates is running out and I need to take my “big girl” pill and get on with it. So I am.

Today’s basal test will commence at 1pm and last until 10pm. No eating, lots of blood sugar testing, and of course, uber amounts of bitching on my end, which should make work veeerrrryyy interesting~

“We have clearance Clarence.” Proceed with the basal testing- and don't call me Shirley!

War is hell - so is basal testing…

So I was on Twitter last night, and I noticed under Trending Topics, there was something called 'Movie Misquotes."

Now, I love movies and television & I have absolutely no problem admitting it.
I've even been known to qoute movies from time to time, and sometimes, I even give them a diabetes spin!

Anyway, I starting movie quoting with a diabetes twist and couldn't stop myself! A few of my tweets told me they were LoLing, which made me very happy! I could have continued all night, but I stopped at around 14 quotes.

I added a 6 more to this post to make it a round 20.
