Happy birthday to me!

I'm 27 now. Half my mom's age. My mom looks at least 10 years younger than she really is, but I look like my dad, so I probably got screwed. My little sister takes after the right side of the family, so she'll be drop dead gorgeous all her life. That figures lol. But I'm slowly losing weight, and maybe I'll be super hot when I get skinny too.

But that's not the reason for this post. I wanted to write about how happy I am. I know that I talk a lot about the crap going on, and I figured, with the new age, I should remind myself of what makes me happy. I feel unhappy a lot, but when I think about these things, I can't help but smile.

- I'm married to a great man that wants to make sure I'm always cared for, satisfied and happy.
- I live with two awesome guys that love to make me happy - or torture me.
- I have a great job that is super flexible and allows me to work from home when needed.
- My family is healthy, so I don't have to worry about anyone dying anytime soon.
- I have the sweetest, cuddliest dog ever.
- I have a great apartment, with a big kitchen and comfy bed.
- I have a working vehicle to get me around
- I am the founder of a huge local support group. We hit 175 members this week!

So things are good right now. And I'm working on making them better. I'm bow looking forward to 27.

Food Allergy Test Results

I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I...

Diet and School updates

Dietary Change update: It's been about a month and a half now since I went vegetarian. It has been so easy for me. I really thought it was going to be hard, but I don't even miss meat that much. I'd be losing weight if I stopped eating peanut butter m&ms. I ran out of those last night and don't plan on asking Hubs to buy me any more. I hope to start seeing some weight disappear then. Thanksgiving has been the first holiday since I made this change, and I figured I might cheat and eat a little turkey. But Dad said that he's making a ham instead, and I hate ham, so it's a win-win situation! I'm making my usual from scratch green bean casserole - yum! School update: I finished my Anatomy and Physiology course with a final grade of 96. Woohoo! I've started my next class, Natural Heath and Nutrition. It focuses on the foods we eat that are beneficial for us and I'm really excited to learn more. This is exactly why I wanted to study nutrition! I ...
