My 365...
Happy hot summer day! Thank goodness for air conditioning, or I would be mighty cranky.
I was trying to photograph the sprinkler in the yard last night when a certain little someone thought it would be a fun time to be silly...
He is such a little ham. Needless to say he was soaking wet. Instant cool down.
My photo of the day...
Watermelon...it is what is for breakfast. :)
Today I plan on relaxing and doing a whole lot of nothing other than web design, graphics, and some tablet shopping. My PockeEdge reader will not be updating the Android OS, and the company that made them is out of business. :( It really is too heavy for my hands anyway, so I been looking for a new Android tablet that offers the new Honeycomb 3.0, and something lighter on the hands and easier on the eyes. I have picked the Acer Iconia. It offers Flash support and expandable memory unlike the iPad, and the features look amazing. I have been reading on my HTC Evo 4g, but the screen is too small for extended reading at night. My eyes get too tired. Can't wait to get it!
This evening I am cooking up some whole wheat pasta with one of the sauces from the Farmer's Market I purchased yesterday, and baking some hot fresh bread for the boys.
Supplies...
Will update with my cooking adventures this evening.
Garrett and Kori are stopping by later, and I am off on Monday, and we will have Brandon, Amber and Cooper over and then head on to the fireworks display at the park in the evening. I love my babies so! <3 It should be great fun, and of course I will take tons of pictures. Maybe try some HD fireworks video too.
Dozer and the Diva.
Music I am listening to today...Kim Taylor.

My 365...
I had the most amazing and fun morning with Brandon, Amber, Cooper and Blake at the downtown Farmer's Market here in Boise. The weather was perfect, and there was so much to see, smell and taste!
Here are a few of the "way too many" pictures I took. :)
Clear gorgeous day in our beautiful city.
The Capitol building.
Hugs :)
Precious Cooper.
Mondo Kobe Beef stick for Blake. Yumm!
Shrooms!
Amber and Brandon buying some pants for the garden.
Alpaca yarns.
Beautiful glass work.
Fun folk art.
Beautiful Amber and baby Cooper.
My purchases...some Organic Heirloom Tomatoes.
Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette that Amber says is delish!
Three different pasta sauces. Puttanesca, Vodka Cream and Red Wine Marinara. Also got a big bundle of fresh basil.
Delicious feta cheese gourmet olives.
And some Salsa! The black bean and corn is amazing.
With all these goodies, cooking some fun food will be easy. Blake stocked up on some Elk and Turkey jerky.
I am so glad Amber invited me to go, we had a wonderful time. There were little tastes of everything there, and I enjoyed the most delicious croissant! I have a whole new appreciation for the awesomeness that is this town. I <3 Boise.

This adorable Great Dane was enjoying the market too. He reminded me so much of Supra.
Music I am listening to today...Market sounds. :)
There were street performers there as well. Here is Blake leaving a tip...
We are having a great 4th of July weekend so far. Hope you are too!

Dinner is served!
Keeping it simple, Summer salad.
Now that I have my glucose meter, I am interested in seeing how different foods affect me, then I can start a process of elimination for all the bad foods.
Of course I know to stay away from all "white" flour products and processed foods. Make substitutions for whole grains always, but I am more curious on the condiments.
Tonight my Summer salad was cucumber, tomato, spinach, carrot and a variety of lettuce. I also added a little fresh watermelon and a little bit of cheese. My favorite dressing in the world is Poppy Seed, and what I have on hand is not low sugar or any special dietetic formula, so I figured I would give it a try.
(No, my tomatoes aren't purple...my camera takes horrible indoor pictures....damn tungsten lighting)
I figured would use the Poppy Seed dressing, then check my levels after dinner and see how I did. I will be sure I update with my results in an hour or so.
The only thing I would have added to this salad is maybe some chicken breast, avocado and whole wheat crunchy croutons. Next time!
No, I am not becoming a connoisseur of rabbit food, I was really in the mood for a refreshing salad. I will still figure out a way to eat healthy Mexican food, Italian food, Thai food and all my favorites!
Dinner was delicious though, and I feel completely satisfied!
Baby steps. I will get there.

** Update ***
1.5 hour post meal my level read 105 which is low, and I feel like poop. :*( But it is late too. I will feel much better after my doctor's appointment next week. I have so much to learn!
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Love,
Happy Friday! And Happy July. :)
I am really excited about this weekend. I am going to the Farmer's Market tomorrow with Amber and Blake...hopefully Brandon and Cooper too. I have never been, and I hear it is awesome. Hoping to stock up on some healthy fresh veggies and enjoy the day with family.
Monday evening we will be going to the fireworks display at Anne Morrison Park. It is always such a gorgeous display, and I am hoping to get some good firework pictures and video.
The forecast for the weekend looks pretty good...maybe just a little hot.
The evenings should be cool though.
My photos of the day, colors in my world this morning...

Stella came to visit last night, and brought Garrett and Kori with her. They brought me a slice of carrot cake from a restaurant they dined at. It looked delicious, but I have to watch what I eat. Is Carrot Cake considered part of the vegetable group? lol :)
