Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

So, Trader Joe's announced they're opening a store in Metairie (suburb of New Orleans) and my local Twitter feed is split between overjoyed and "Huh? It's just a grocery store, right?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh really? Where at?

The only way I can handle eating low carbs is to keep a ready supply of roasted nuts handy.

I am very sad that I can't eat nuts anymore. Or haven't quite figured out which ones might still be okay, at any rate. I have amassed a nice collection of sunflower seed, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and coconut chips that is pretty tasty. Didn't bring any with me today, though.

I just called to get a moving quote and the guy was away from his desk. I feel like I'm being thwarted in my onerous tasks. Come on, universe! I'm trying to do the thing.

I'm going to eat junk food and try again in a little bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like the right call, shrift.

I'm giving myself a free pass on eating the Cool Ranch Doritos while I'm making this move happen.

Edit: Still away from his desk. I left an awkward message.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am not low carb, and that's one of my favourite snacks.

Someday, I will make it to a Trader Joe's.

Nuts and seeds and nut and seed butters have been very important on my gestational diabetes diet. Especially since I need to have protein with meals and many of the things I would normally count as a protein (milk, beans, etc) actually count as carbs.
