Good news but....

I am not out of the woods. I finally got my blood work back. (I was supposed to hear in a couple of days--it has been a week.) I do NOTHave diabetes!!! My fasting was 108, my one hour was 164, and my 2 hour was 128. I did not take my metformin that morning, but I had it the night before. I think that made a difference.

This morning I met with my friend Karen who is working with her doctor husband doing diet advice. I am going to start The South Beach Diet this weekend. I told her I wasn't going to try now because I am going away for a retreat for work this week. She agreed it would be good to wait.

Eye Glasses Holder

Are you tired of losing your glasses? May I suggest the collection of chic eyeglass jewelry at EyeGlassHolders.com? They have a huge selection of handcrafted beaded eyeglass leashes, leather eyeglass leashes, gorgeous glass beaded eyeglass necklaces and hand cast pewter eyeglass pins that express your personal style AND keep your glasses close at hand.

Soft, delicate look designed in pink clear and off white beads give you a pretty way to hold on to your eyeglasses. This feminine beaded chain has silicone ends that slide over and tighten on the arms of your eyeglass frames. When you aren't wearing your eyeglasses, simple let them hang around your neck handy for the next time you need them. Approximately 27" in long. Handcrafted by fair trade artists in Guatemala as part of our mission to create economic empowerment for women in disadvantaged economies.

I am fortunate to not need glasses (yet! remember I am turning 40 soon!) But if I ever need glasses, I will definitely wear these. The designs are beautiful, and there is a style and color combination for any taste. If they sound kind of familiar, you may have read my review of the BooJee Beads. I have a lanyard that I wear to church every week with my nametag.

I am: Possibilities Review

One of my favorite songs to sing to my kids is

I am a promise, I am a possibility, I am a promise with a capital "P"

I am a great big bundle of potentiality

And I am learning to hear God's voice, and I am trying to make the right choices

I'm a promise to be, anything God wants me to be

(Except I change it from "I" to "You" because I want them to know that they are a promise!)

So I was thrilled when I received a puzzle piece from www.thegoodcheercompany.com with the word "Possibilities" on it. (Here it is on my keyring.)

It is such a simple concept: affirm people (and pets!) while reminding them that they are a part of the puzzle. Our lives are all interconnected. The pendants are made of peweter and are available on necklaces, braclets and rings. You can also buy the pendants loose. There are more than 40 words available, but my favorites are: Blessed, Authentic, and Unstoppable.

Teething Bling

SmartMom Jewelry sent me a sample of their teething bling. And all I can say is, "Where was this when I had babies?" I am not a big jewelry wearer. But with babies, I rarely wore any. If you have ever held a baby, you know how enticing pretty jewelry is for them. And my babies always had a strong grip! The colors are beautiful and the shapes are eye-catching. It doesn't look like a teething toy! These should definitely be on your list for baby shower gifts.

Made from the same material as many teething toys, Teething Bling® looks great on Moms, Grandmas, Aunts and Caregivers but is safe for curious babies to handle and chew. Teething Bling® products are non-toxic, phthalate, BPA, PVC and lead free and all pendants come with a breakaway clasp.

Many celebrities have been sited wearing Teething Bling® (including Holly Robinson Peete and Angela Bassett.)

BowHausNYC portable water bowl

Do you have a pampered pooch? If so, BOWHAUSNYC is for you (and FiFi!) . Manhattan fashion designer Ruby Chan couldn't find fashionable accessories for her pug Mao. Fortunately, she knew what to do. Taking the Bauhaus design movement as her inspiration, she created BOWHAUSNYC to create luxury dog accessories with great modern design, highest-quality materials and the best workmanship that are both beautiful and functional. I think she achieved her goal! What do you think?

Collapsible water bowls:
I had the chance to try out the Wristlet Water Bowl. When I first opened the package I thought it was a coin purse. It folds almost completely flat and zips up to remain thin. But unzipped, it is a HUGE water bowl. To give you a perspective of the size, I photographed it with my keys (2 car keys, 3 door keys, and a padlock key with one key fob).
