I'm right there with you. (I worked at Six Flags Great America.)
Get out! I worked at Marriott's Great America.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I get pretty bad blood sugar crashes if I'm not careful. What I've found is that, for me, the problem is generally when I let my blood sugar go up really quickly, it then crashes pretty quickly, too. So I usually try to moderate my sugar a bit -- I won't have anything sugary unless I'm having it as part of a meal that included a bunch of protein and fiber -- it tones down the effects a whole lot.
For snacks, I usually keep a few cans of chickpeas on hand. If I feel like I need something to eat, and there's nothing really healthy in the house, I'll just drain and rinse those and eat a handful or so, and they've got enough carbs to up my blood sugar a bit, but also enough protein that I won't get hungry again too quickly. Same thing with cheese on whole wheat crackers.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm at school right now killing time before my last final. Whee! It's almost time for
SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!
Of course, that doesn't feel the same when you still work full time.

Those are good ideas, Hil. And I probably need to go back to keeping crackers on hand to spread with peanut butter (I loves me some all-natural peanut butter--I used to call Annabel my Peanut Butter Baby, because there were points in pregnancy when it was practically the only form of protein I was willing to eat.). Also a dorky-sounding but tasty invention of my own where I toast whole wheat bread with bean dip, salsa, and cheese on top.

Dorky sounding? Possibly. Also very tasty sounding.

Well, it's Mexican toppings on wheat bread. Maybe more weird than dorky.
I'm bored too, but I should be writing. I've decided I write more when I'm busy--end of April, I was judging contest entries and doing grant writing for the main freelance client, and somehow I was writing 20 pages per week and more. Now I have nothing to do but write, and I've spent the entire day playing on the internets.

I went to Marriott's Great America once with my 8th grade class. This was before it moved. In case anyone cares.
