The Sock Stash

So I know I am totally stealing this from my Chai Tea Master but seriously, it is about the coolest thing I have tried in a while.

Wearing my pump in my sock.

If you have not checked out this sweet spot then I suggest you try it.

You may be saying, "George. Dood. Really? How does it reach?"

Well although I do have lengthy ninja stems my thigh site [slash] 43" tubing combo works quite nicely.

"So what makes the sock stash the newest latest coolest spot ever?"

Well, I went to buy some pants last week and I have never had an easier time in the dressing room. I did not have to worry about Master P getting tangled up or getting torn out when I am trying on any pants! It was as if my pump became a part of me.

You may be thinking, "I do not need to try on clothes as often as a Sliminja like yourself. What else makes it saweet?"

Well, the fact that I have freed up a pocket, rocks! You see, I do not like to wear stuff on my belt unless it is a grappling hook or a ninja star holder. I also never put my money clip in the same pocket as my pump so I won't scratch P's delicate display.

"Well what is the down side? There has to be a flip side to this awesomeness."

You are correct. I cannot use the sock stash when wearing shorts. I also feel a little strange when I am walking around in my office at work and people hear the "BEEP BOOP BEEP" from my foot! And bolusing while being hunched over as if I am tying my shoes is strange but I would still recommend it.

If you do try the sock stash please let me know. I would love to hear what you think about it.

I am not sure what this talent is used for except maybe to end up on this blog!

Enjoy.

Meeting Kerri

“SuperG, the plan is Starbucks at 8:30.”

I stare at my Blackberry reading Kerri’s text. I never go to Starbucks! I am like the only person in the world that does not know what the heck to order there. Oh well. I figure I will ask her what to get and then reply back.

“Sweet. See you there!”

When I finally got to the Starbucks I saw Kerri and Chris at the counter ordering. I waved, said “hi” to both of them and let the Ninja emerge.

“Okay, so I know nothing about the Starbucks. What should I order? I have no clue.”

Kerri suggests a Chai Tea (sp?) and says, “It’s cool there is nothing in it.”

I tell the Coffee Queen behind the counter, “I’ll have what she’s having.”

All three of us sat down on the patio and just talked. It was strange how someone you only know from reading their blog can feel so much like a friend you have known forever. I instantly felt comfortable to let my ninja guard down and let loose.

I may have been a little too “double O C” (More lingo for you Kerri. That would mean Out of Control!) at times but as Allison and Sara know, I can not always control myself. I am like a puppy dog when a new person comes over. Ya know what I mean? All excited and stupid. Yeah, I’m that guy.

Kerri is just as nice and funny and witty and cool as she seems. And can I just say that Chris is awesome too. I love it when two people that are so great find each other. They are quite the team. So perfect for one another.

We shared funny stories, serious situations, our past, our hope for the future and not always about diabetes which was nice. We discussed movies and music and how 34 really isn’t old. We had a lot in common.

I made a comment about how something made me feel “all honked up.” After she stopped laughing hysterically at my vocab I explained how that is my PG version of being “effed up” to which she gave a G rating. I will have to reconsider my rating standards it seems. When I get comfortable I say the strangest things. So embarrassing!

All and all I had a fantastic time. The only bad thing about the meet up is that time flew by. I probably could have sat there and chat chitted for hours longer. I just feel like we were old friend playing “catch up” and it felt really good.

The night proved to me that having people to connect with makes for a more tolerable “D” life. I felt so alone for so long.

Before Chris snapped this pic, I said, “What’s my inspiration?”

Kerri spoke through gritted teeth in a sort of Mr. Howell from Gillian’s Island voice and says, “We’re writers.”

And this is the stupid face I made. LOL

Here is a normal one.

Thanks again Kerri and Chris. I had a blast!

This week’s clip is a favorite around the Simmons house. We must have watched this thing a hundred times or so.

It’s a clip of Gwen Verdon (and her dynamic dance duo) performing a dance called “Mexican Breakfast” on the Ed Sullivan show. I am not sure who wrote the original music BUT someone decided to mash up this video with a new sound track. It is so great how even though the music was so different, it works pretty good and is very entertaining.

I hope you like it!

Enjoy!
