I love the State Fair

Seriously. Where else can you not only purchase, but be acceptable to society walking around with a 1/3 lb slice of bacon, fried, caramelized with maple syrup, on a stick?

I won't be buying one of those today. I will be buying cheese curds though! And, perhaps for old times' sake, Jaime and I will buy the giant pail of Sweet Martha's cookies and go to the "All The Milk You Can Drink For $1" booth and have ourselves a good time!

Oh, memories of being 17 years old, and having the metabolism that let me get away with eating 30 chocolate chip cookies in one day! Wow.

Worried 'bout my baby

My Ryan went to the doctor this morning and returned with a diagnosis of very high blood pressure. Not good!

In the end it may turn out okay: he was instructed to drink less and exercise more. In addition, there are basic dietary things that should help--obvious things like less sodium, more fruits and veggies, fewer sweets, less meat, etc.

My family has a history of hypertension in addition, so it's a good idea for both of us to do these things. Plus, we could both stand do lose a pound or two!
