I'm an exhausted mess.
Yeah, I was gonna take you out for a drink but I thought I'd wait until after Bora Bora.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It was back-to-school night at the middle school. Wow, what a difference between 6th and 7th grades.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm probably forgetting to do something important with regard to work or my upcoming trip with Lee. Thank god for the trip, though.
I am so totally unready, and yet so very ready, I just can't even.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It was brought to my attention that I'm not the only one who noticed me getting thrown under a bus at the start of the week.
That's something, anyway. Here's hoping there is more sleep in your future!
In my job news, we're planning a lunch meeting with someone who requires "no red meat, no wheat, no gluten, no milk or milk products." It makes me so sad for that person! I mean, not that there aren't a lot of good things outside of those categories, but definitely my favorite things are all within them. And also, good thing this meeting is in Boston, because the last time they met with her, it was in a place where you aren't supposed to eat raw vegetables. At least we can give her chicken on a salad! (Not Caesar, though...)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Aargh! I have lost my keys! I have tile, and they say they are at the theatre, but I didn't go to the theatre yesterday and I had them in my office yesterday because I opened the door. Someone from the theatre visited, so I am assuming he took them, but he says he doesn't have them! So now I have to go there and listen for the tiny tiny quiet tile beep.

Yikes, Celiac AND a beef allergy? That eliminates like 75% of what's worth eating.

I'd like to see a note from her doctor.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I can eat everything but read meat, but I am by choice getting pretty close to that list. I would never impose it for a meeting, but my eating is becoming:
No red meat, no pork, no soda
Avoid sugar, dairy, wheat, potatoes, white rice, chemicals

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'd like to see a note from her doctor.
I don't have an official diagnosis of gluten intolerance, but I can tell you what happens when I eat it. I don't need an official diagnosis to make me feel like I have permission to avoid food that I know rips up my insides.
I'm aware there are a lot of people who give up foods/food groups because it's trendy and they think it'll help them lose weight, but still -- when people tell me they can't eat something, I don't ask for their official diagnosis. I just believe them.

not your mom's socks.
Jesse - often there are good choices at GF friendly sushi and Vietnamese and Thai places. Just watch out for the soy/sauces.
My best guess is if she's speaking out in a work situation, there are heavy-duty medical reasons and she'd like to be able to do her best job for her employer and participate in the meeting.
