Foods That Are Making the List

Current mood: amused
Category: Food and Restaurants

Okay so today I was in Portland having lunch with an old friend... not a friend who is old in age, but one whom I have known for a while... I digress... anyhoo, we had REALLY good Chinese food! I mean REALLY good! Unfortunately, an hour later I was headed toward the loo because it did NOT go through my recently altered guts very well at ALL! Now the doctor did say that some people are back to their same eating patterns within a day or two of surgery, and some people have to wait up to 6 months before they are able to eat "normally" again. BUT! Some people NEVER go back to normal eating. As goofy as it sounds, I hope I'm one of those people. I've lost 8 pounds since I got outta the hospital and it's all been because I have to be careful of what I eat. Here's what's on the "no can do" list so far:

Chinese
Mexican
Thick crust pizza with greasy meat
More than 3 ounces of red meat.
Spaghetti sauce
Gravy
Ice Cream
Anything over 2% milk

Wednesday night some friends and I are going to do Karoake at a pizza place. I'm going to try a thin crust chicken pizza of some kind and go low sauce/low cheese. I'll be sure and tell you how I do... on the singing AND the pizza.

Love you all!
Steph

I Ain't Skeered... Ain't Afeered a Nuthin'!

November 7, 2006 - Tuesday I aint skeered...aint afeered a nuthin! Current mood: confused Category: Life I've got some serious issues... I'm the Cowardly Lion, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ugly Betty all rolled into one. How can one person be such a wimp in some areas, a totally confident terminator in other areas and such a sweet and humble mix in still other areas? Where does this come from? It's not multiple personality disorder (despite what some of you might think). I'm not Sybil; I'm not losing time and blacking out and taking on other personas...even though I do enjoy a good game of pretend now and then...with accents. I often joke about being my own conundrum; my own anomaly, but sometimes it's not really ...

A rainbow colored, abscessed, monster of a thing.

Originally started October 2018. Gosh, I've needed to write for such a long time. I can't even get into journaling for some reason. I don't even care if anyone reads this, that's not the point... I just need to talk - unhindered and unfettered - talk. Y'know how when you get a splinter under your fingernail and you can see the thing so you know it's there? So you get your extraction tools: fingernail clippers, tweezers, maybe a sewing needle or push pin, if you're my dad you get a pocket knife... if you're over 35 you get your reading glasses... you get peroxide or rubbing alcohol... everything you need and then you go in for minor surgery. You poke around and scrape the underside of the nail. You pull at something dark and then realize it's just dirt. You pick at it a little too hard and maybe it bleeds a little. Then finally you pull the smallest of little slivers out and think, "Yes! I got it." You look closely at the shard of wood a...

On Again Off Again

August 23, 2007 - Thursday On Again Off Again Current mood: tired Category: Life If I believed in astrology I would make some kind of comment about how today the moon must have been in the 6th house and Saturn was surely aligning with Pluto because why else would my day have felt so "off" and ended up with me in tears? After all, any true music proficionado would know that an ON day would consist of the moon being in the SEVENTH house and JUPITER aligning with MARS... A.K.A. the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. I do not, however, believe in astrology. I am most certainly a fan of the 5th Dimension (Marilyn McCoo was so foxy back in the day!) but I'm not a fan of crediting or blaming my "off" days on the alignment...
