Yeah, I miss those lazy, crazy days of summer. So much fun, so little to do. OH well, they're gone forever (unless I win the lottery, I suppose.)
I read somewhere that you are insane if you continue to do the same thing(s) over and over, in the same manner and expect different results.
Man, that is grad school. I wish someone had told me.
bkwill:
Hope to see you on the 4th of July my man.
This weekend has rocked so far. I love the summer!

Summer is awesome. But there are hints of the hot awfulness to come. And that ex of mine was a generally fucked-up individual, so I shoulnd't have been surprised she acted so badly.
It's a new, week I wonder what it has to offer

Repost from the Health & Fitness Group Gluten Intolerence Thread:
I am gluten intolerant. The Gluten Free Gourmet is a great series of cookbooks with sound advice for celiacs and others who cannot (or choose not to) eat gluten. Not only are they full of recipes ("the gluten free gourmet bakes bread" is awsome) but they have lists of foods with hidden gluten.
I was at Trader Joes the other day and noticed that they have a pamphlet about what foods they carry that are gluten free. How cool of them to accomodate people with special diet needs. It saves the trouble of having to read through all the labels (assuming you know all the ingredients that are hidden glutens in the first place.)
As posted above, there is an enormous wealth of info online. Just do a search on "Gluten Free" or whatever variation. I have found tons of great recipes that way. By searching for example: "Gluten Free" + "banana Bread" or whatever recipe you want.
One of my favorite foods in the world is the African bread called Injera. It's the spongy bread that is usually used as both the serving dish and the eating utensil in some african foods. Since I stopped eating gluten I have been unable to eat it, as it's always made with wheat flour. The delicate fermenting process and texture of the finished bread just does not translate to a gluten free adaptation. I did some reasearch and found that the original Injera was made with a flour called Teff which happens to be gluten free! Bob's redmill sells Teff as well as ALL of the other flours that you will want to own once you start baking gluten free. http://www.bobsredmill.com/ They rock!

My heart is heavy, yet my mind is clear. The inevitable is now upon us, if there ever was an us to speak of. My ongoing loneliness will now be justified by physical as well emotional absence. Change is good when it is for the better; the gnawing pain I have recently been accustomed to will soon end.
I am perplexed by my inability to...

I can't make it to this Saturday's event, but I'll probably make the one after that. I don't even know if Saturday is going on. Hope everything works out for the best.

Some say, misery loves company , what about when the company creates the misery?
Have you ever been with another and still felt terribly lonely?

You have no idea how happy I am its Friday, I need to get some sleep and quality slacking time. Now I only have to complete the 1000 things I have to do today in addition to what I think is an insane amount of meetings and then I shall relax. I love computers, I can't always say the same about end users.

hahahaha.... too true. i feel for you - anyone who has to deal with tech support has my greatest sympathies. Hope you get a chance to relax this weekend.

Wished you guys could have been out on Saturday, but I know it's a hell of a commute.
So its been a tough week, work , work and more work. Some good news at work hopefully my position will be modified a bit for the better. The hours are just long and its been nonstop for the past few weeks. Why do problems always happen at the end of the day? The worst is on a Friday. The joys of being an adult,...

Oh fuck, what happened? Yeah, fix that shit. But how?
It's been a few days since my last entry, I've been sick and working like a dog. I have felt like shit for the last week, I hate winter more than anyone can imagine. Then the chaos at the office didn't help, considering I have sick days an was unable to use them. Fortunately I have the next two days off to rest. I finally...

legionnaire better watch hisself making comments like that out in the open about the SGNYers. Yeah, I saw that!
So when I got out of bed yesterday I swore I wouldnt get drunk. After two beers my boy showed up with a bottler of Johnny Walker Gold, which seemed like a good thing at the time. After pre-gamming we wound up at a friends house with a bunch of old friends people I havent really hung out with in years, it was a great...

Ha, "the best laid plans of mice and men..." Vowing not to get drunk is not alwasy the best plan. Hope you're recovery went well.
hellynn:
thanks. i have the dentist at 2 then work at 5. I took tracker and holly up to the feilds before to play some ball. some guy with a chocolat lab and golden retriever was up there too. they came out of the back and onto the soccer feilds. the retreiver chased holly out of the feilds and across the street. she ran to poppa charlies again. track was good though. he just played around for a little while.
Last night was good the show rocked, dinner was great. It was nice meeting all of you. I am still recovering, I need to hydrate myself.
