The diet is working so well my blood sugar crashed yesterday. 55 and I was shaky. No warning, just full on scary. Dropped the meds this morning.

Why try to find a gem in the pile of garbage released by Hollywood for the past 30 or so years? Hells bells, some of the 'B' movies from the '30s far surpass the dreck put out today.
My friends tell me that I should make an exception for "American Sniper", so perhaps I will.
A huge problem is that you cannot buy summer clothes around here yet. I am going to drag out all my summer stuff this week.
American Sniper was excellent, you should def see it.
I told you online shopping is the way to go!
oh how i LOATHE julie andrews!
I have two summer sun dresses that I bought last year and only wore once each. I am thinking one for the shower and one for the rehearsal dinner. Just need to accessorize for that. One is navy and one is a black/white print. Both will work shower, just unsure if too informal for rehearsal. The only other options for the shower include needing black pants, and that doesn’t feel sunny enough.
Please do not go there unless you want a screwing like no augur can give.
do you know where the rehearsal dinner is to be? I love black/white stuff, very classic.
An elegant Greek restaurant. A private dining room. I think she is booking it t today.
