Hi Jen,
How are you doing today? Hope your fibro isn't giving you too much trouble.. Doesn't it know that Sunday is a day of rest????
Is that insect anything like a locust??... do love the sound of locusts. I don't know if we have your bug in Houston, but then, I'm not a bug expert. One thing though, if you put up a picture of a "big" ugly, disgusting roach on your post I wil scream so loud you will hear me all the way there....

much better day today.
sticking with bread and marmalade for my sweet tooth tho i think i may do the pineapple angel food cake for dessert tonight.
i miss salad the most i think.
i'm a C so the imodium won't help me - i just get horrible double over on the floor gas pains.
pizza without cheese isn't a bad idea.
i'm trying something new tonight hoping will work. I'm making beans in the crockpot (15 beans mix with a bit of onion, potato and garlic and a half cup of marinara sauce and water)
then i'll make some ground turkey and drain it really well. I'll serve the family the meat, beans and rice with cheese in tortillas.
I'll do mostly rice and beans in my tortilla with a tiny bit of the meat and see what happens.
but sheesh. no more pizza. Glad i'm not alone in my idioticness (is that a word?)
and i'm day two coffee free

Way to go on being coffee free! I was a committed coffee drinker from age 12, and was up to SIX cups a day during my senior year of college. When coffee started bothering my tummy I switched to about 4 cans of diet coke a day. My tummy still hurt so I exclusively ate popcorn and basically no other food. When that didn't work I went right back to drinking coffee. When I finally quit for real, I quit all caffeine cold turkey. Man was that hard! I literally lay in my bed in a dark room for about a week. I felt like I had a brain tumor. But now, I've made it through my first year of law school without being a regular coffee drinker. When I am particularly stable, I go for one small soy latte from starbucks, and I seem to be fine. But, I love the feeling of waking up and NOT needing a cup. I used to wake up feeling sluggish and puffy until about my 2nd cup. Now I wake up and can put my rings on right away (because I'm not addicted to the diuretic effect of the coffee), I can face bright lights and honking cabs, adn I don't drop dead at 3pm. I miss coffee terribly, the taste, that first buzz, the look of it in my hands, but I fake myself out with tea, and I give in to the occasional craving. I'm just really glad that I'm not hooked the way I used to be. I wish you lots of luck, and plenty of silence this week. Be patient with yourself -- it's a tough habit to kick! I give you credit for being able to face the glare of a computer screen.

Hi DanaNoel,
Thanks for the response! Yeah... I'm still trying to get used to the live music and water idea myself... sigh. I've only lived in Austin for a year, but we love it. We've moved around a bit and so far this is our favorite place we've lived! We'll only be here for four years or so... so can't get too adjusted.

You SO have the diet of a law student. We grad students have very similar diets.

i think they are really related to a locust.
and i will NOT post a cockroach if you don't post a spider. UGH. *Shudder*
and no, my fibro does not know it's a Sunday, but i'm not too too bad today. i've been taking it easy, knitting when my hands allow, playing on the computer when they don't.
thanks for asking! hope you are well today??

You mean normal people don't eat like that?
Actually I need to toot my own horn just a little bit. While my eating habits in college were awful, I've been really good since starting law school. I owe most of it to IBS since anything unhealthful hurts. It also helps that they just opened a Whole Foods a few blocks away! I do need to start being better about incorporating vegetables and fruits in a safe way, but for now it's chicken, rice, cream of rice, soy milk, cereal, sushi, and potatoes ... oh and hummus too. As far as produce, I haven't really ventured beyond mangoes, bananas, and avocados. Thank the Lord hummus is safe because I honestly don't think I could live without it!
I'm going to be spening the summer in London near my boyfriend, so I'm sure cooking for two will force me to be a little more conscientious about veggies and fruits.
OK enough about my eating habits -- I need to finish studying for my last final! At 1pm tomorrow I will officially be done with my first year of law school!

That's great. Well, enjoy Austin while you are there because you will miss it terribly when you're gone. I sure do
