I don't know if fat affects glycemic index, or not. I wouldn't think so, but am not sure.

Fat brings the glycemic index down, I think. Because it slows the digestion of the carbs, or something.

I am so tired I'm woozy. I haven't gotten more than 4 hours sleep a night all week. I think maybe I'm getting too much thyroid medication. Anyone have any experience with thyroid meds?

I've got HGTV on and tomorrow night they're going to air a show on houses withi secret rooms. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Before we bought this house we looked at a fascinating Victorian, that had a passageway between 2 bedrooms. We loved it, but it was in horrible shape. We would have had to sink unrthinkable amounts of money to make it live-innable.

I would love a secret room. One of my recurrung dreams from childhood featured all these hidden rooms off my parents' cellar.

We lived in a great brick Victorian when I was a kid in Milwaukee. My parents bought it from the daughter of the guy who built it, who was an old lady in the '60s. It had all kinds of unchanged things--a coal chute and a rootcellar in the basement, only one phone which was in a built-in mahogany phone booth in the hall, a full size built-in safe, AND a secret hiding place. There were bookshelves in the den which had space behind them. The space was probably put there to hide valuables, but there was room for a kid to stand in it. Since getting back there involved removing a huge drawer, we weren't allowed to go there after one exciting visit, but it was cool to know we COULD--you know, if the Nazis came back or something.

Lunar eclipse at tonight for those who will have the sun set or setting between 6:45 and 9:25 EST. And who don't have clouds in the sky.

bummer. from skytonight.com:

unfortunately, the main event ends before moonrise for anyone west of the Rockies

And it looks like we'll be clouded up.

Too bad she can't do sit-ups to tighten that up.

I've noticed that my one cat that hangs on the door to let me know that it must be opened has really tightened up her formerly sagging belly. Almost inspires me to do some chin-ups myself.

Oh dear. I ran into Lohmann's, looking for a spring jacket, and came out instead with a bathing suit, a skirt suit, and a dress. They were all good deals, though!
