New and Exciting Sh&# That I Seem To Be Suddenly Allergic To:
After my brief bout with seasonal allergies, I've discovered that I've developed a whole new slew of food-related allergies. I was told by my doctor that our bodies change every 7 years, and the fact that I've recently turned 28 seems to have triggered all of this, which only further confirms my conclusion that getting old bites. Now, eating certain foods have triggered a really uncomfortable reaction - my throat feels itchy and tight, like it's closing, and I can't breath very well, and the insides of my ears itch like crazy. I've never had allergies - ever and I've never been allergic to anything - ever - and all of a sudden, I'm allergic to everything that I love! :(So. New and Exciting Shit That I Seem To Be Suddenly Allergic To:~ Apples. I love apples. I eat at least one apple every day. Golden Delicious are my favorites, but the tart, green Granny Smiths are right behind.~ Strawberries. Who in the hell is allergic to strawberries?!?!?! It's a strawberry, for God's sake, but suddenly, I can't eat them.~ Peaches and Nectarines. I LOVE fruit and these are - ooops, were - two of my favorite things to eat.~ Pears. The weird thing is, I can eat canned pears, just not fresh pears. ???~ Plums. I'm going to start tearing up in a second.~ Carrots. We go through bags of baby carrots, so maybe all this is due to overkill? This is the only veggie I seem to have issues with, though.~ Cherries. Not that we get a lot of fresh cherries in Alaska, but when we do get them, I stuff myself. Yeah, no more. :(~ Grapes. These were my favorite snack. I'd munch on grapes almost every day, and now I'm forced to find other snack options. :(~Bannanas. Reactions to bananas are hit and miss, and again, banana bread is fine, fresh bananas kill me, though.Thus far, I seem to be allergic to all my favorite fruits except melon and oranges. :( I quit and I don't wanna play anymore.
As if I needed another reason to be envious of the incredibly beautiful Cindy Crawford - she got her chest autographed by Matt Hughes:
God Is A Steelers Fan
Donovan McNabb, after living a full life and setting many NFL records, finally died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Eagles flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Donovan." said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Donovan felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3 story mansion with a black and yellow sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flag pole with an enormous Steelers flag, and in every window, a TerribleTowel. Donovan looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro quarterback, I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the Hall of Fame." God said, "So what's your point, Donovan?""Well, why does Ben Roethlisberger get a better house than me," Donovan asked. God chuckled, and said, "Donovan, that's not Ben's house, it's mine."
Blogger hates me - SOB!
I'm trying to post pictures from the women's softball tourney in Wasilla, but Blogger is being evil and keeps timing out when I try and attach a picture, so I'll try it later. :( *pouts*
I give up.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
It has been 28 years since my last confession. (That my forgetfull butt remembers . . . . )Today I have eaten:
2 doughnuts - I went to the Bakery to buy my boss and I each a cheese danish since it was just the two of us in the office today, and when I realized that I was going to be a little late I threw in another doughnut to sweeten the deal - a maple bar for him and a cream filled chocolate covered doughnut for me.
1 Key Lime Pie - okay, it wasn't a whole key lime pie. One of our clients brought in these little mini pies for us to try since she was raving about her incredible Key Lime Pie recipe the last time she was in, and I'm not a big fan of key lime, but OMG it was sooooo gooooood . . . . 
3 pieces of pizza - Kev and I had pizza for lunch and I scarfed two slices of the combo pizza before I discovered the garlic chicken ranch pizza, and, of course, I had to have a piece of that one, too.
So, that's it - so far. I'm meeting Karina and Normagene at Brewsters after work to talk about soccer, and I should really have a salad or a veggie appitizer, but Brewsters has The Best stuffed southwestern shrimp, so I'm confessing to an order of those, also, as well as the glass of white wine I'm going to have at the restaurant and the glass (or 3) I'll have later tonight in the Jacuzzi tub.I promise to do 2 extra cardio workouts this weekend and eat nothing but salad until Monday. Amen.(Although I do think the horrible tummy ache I have right now is penance enough . . . . )
If you read the gossip blogs as much as I'm ashamed to admit that I do, you're probably aware that Bobby Brown is hittin' the sheets with a chick named Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans, who's apparently starred in several music videos. From what I've heard, she was given the nickname 'Superhead' by the rappers she was shooting with. This has lead to me ponder the question, how does one get the nickname 'Superhead?' Is it for the obvious reason that I'm sure is skittering around in thoughts of those of you who are a little more gutter-minded, or is the reason behind this interesting nickname a little more innocent? Perhaps she earned this nickname for her exceptionally large skull? And, more pressingly, do you think there's any tread left on that thing, or is it like throwing a hot dog down a hallway??
Open Season on NFL QBs
The NFL has ruled that Robert Geathers' late hit on Trent Green wasn't a foul. I'm not sure how they came to this conclusion as Trent was well into his slide before Geathers went for his head, (the slide wasn't that late - come on!) but officials have ruled that Geathers' momentum carried him into Trent. I'm attributing this incorrect ruling to a little condition I like to call 'headus uppus the sphincterus.' I, personally, think this is a bullshit decision, but my judgement may possibly be a little clouded considering that it was my team's QB I was watching get smashed into the turf. Still, the implication is that Geathers got off on a vicious hit due to a simple opinion. It's garbage, he should be fined and Herm Edwards should be throw out of the league.Don't ask me what that last suggestion has to do with Geathers' late hit - I'm just scrambling for anything that will make Herm 'My Head Is Up My Pooper' Edwards go away. (I'm just pissy that our season is going to poop, my QB is injured and the new coach is an asshat.)
