No stick of gum will satisfy this craving…

  I like to watch the Biggest Loser. I find it inspiring. Though maybe not that inspiring since I am usually eating ice cream while watching it. ;) And while I do like the show, it has a lot of things I hate about it. The number one thing being all the product placement. Ugh. Between them and Top Chef I am not sure who is worse. And the thing that the pimp the most is gum. I wont say which kind because I feel they get enough advertisement. But I will say this...in no way will a stick of tropical fruit gum stop my craving for a chocolate souffle. And anyone who truly believes that a stick of fruit gum will kill their craving for chocolate needs to visit the head doctor. I'm not sure there is a cure for a chocolate craving, except, well chocolate. It's like the people who love to say, “nothing tastes as good as thin feels”. Clearly these people just aren't eating the right things. Because there is a TON of food that tastes better than being thin. Not all foods mind you. … [Read more...]

Thanks for caring…

Wow! Over 70 emails to me, letting me know that you too have either allergies or carpal tunnel (not including all the comments left on here). Just want to say thanks to all of you who took the time to write me and let me know what worked for you. I am writing this mass thank you, as writing back to each one of you would be next to impossible given my current limited computer time. First off, I just thought I would let everyone know that I have had allergies all my life. These are not new to me. I just have not been to an allergist since I was a kid (I had full testing done then as well). So I have dealt and coped with these for quite sometime. Also, I have no reaction to my dog or other dogs which is why that was so surprising to me. I am allergic to cats and definitely have reaction to them. So I found it interesting that I am more allergic to dogs than cats, especially given no reaction to my dog or any dog I come in contact with. I do clean the house often. I vacuum several times … [Read more...]

Less than stellar two weeks….

I have always known I was allergic to things. Certain foods, grasses, trees, etc... And I just always dealt with them. But this last year that got really out of control and so I broke down and went to see an allergist. I had put it off for quite sometime because I have a deep fear of needles (a phobia actually) and to test you the poke you with a needle...a lot. And second I was afraid I would be allergic to wheat. I know a lot of people have that allergy and deal with it beautifully. I would not be good at dealing with that beautifully. So off I went. They were kind of rude, they kept telling me, “you think you have allergies” and I kept thinking to myself, “no, I have allergies, I don't just get hives for shits and giggles”. But none the less I just smiled at them. My smile turned to smirk when my entire arms went aflame and before she was even done with the test she said, “oh, I guess you do have allergies”. Gee, I guess I do. But here comes the … [Read more...]

15 minutes….

I'm was pretty sure that my 15 minutes of fame was up. I mean I was in a Jif peanut butter commercial when I was 3 ( great, I peaked early ;) ) and last year a woman in the grocery store asked for my autograph (more on that in a bit). And now I am featured on the Pioneer Woman. If you go over there and scroll down, there I am on the left (or at least when I wrote this I was :) ). I was all giddy when a reader from over there came over here and told me that she found my site from PW. I was like, what??? Holy cow (or holy roping cows if we are talking PW). So very cool...oh, and try her Cajun meatloaf, it was a big hit. So back to my other moment of fame if you will. The autograph. No doubt the first and last time that will be happening. I was in my favorite grocery store in the produce section. I could feel this woman staring at me. I smiled and moved on. I noticed that she kept staring at me. With my track record of great outfits and what not, I quickly brushed my purse (hiding my … [Read more...]
