I love you guys.
Yes, Nick has Celiac. I gave him the recipe books when he moved out. It's been 3 years since I had to think about wheat, but I think I can do it again. I would love to pick your sister's brain for recipes, though, Sparky.
The car thing has been a comedy. The car dies. We bus for a couple of weeks. Greg buys one of those granny carts to get groceries home. Kara ends up homeschooling the rest of the year. We manage. My fil finds out we're carless and loans us an old one of his that, he says, has expired tags. Greg takes off the old license plate, gets a temp tag, and then stuff happens and we don't get it inspected, so he has to get another temp tag, which expires tomorrow, and stuff happens, and I finally say I'm taking it to be inspected today. I get the registration out of the papers Greg's dad gave him and find that the old ones weren't expired. Greg checks the old plates, still in the trunk, and tada! Not expired. That means saving $50.00 until September. We are happy again.
Nora, I'm really impressed with you. I hope they revisit the issue and you get to walk.
{{Deena}} Hooray for not yet expired car tags! Also, I am sorry about Greg's job stuff.
Miss you!
Deena, there is a natural store near me with quite a few gluten free baking mixes. Let me know if I can send any to you. Also, Deena!
Greg's job stuff is a little scary. The pay cut came with an insurance benefits cut. We don't know what, exactly, that will mean to the paycheck until payday, which is Friday. Then in June they'll be looking at the budget and the staff again, and possibly laying people off, and they warned everyone that it wasn't going to be last hired first fired, but would depend on how critical people were. Greg does a lot of reader advisory stuff, and he's taught a bunch of the librarians how to blog, but I don't know how important they think that is. Fiction doesn't move as well as non-fiction, and horror isn't the first thing most people go to the library for. We'll be okay, though, one way or another.
And to P_C - a little late now but my favoratist smoothie recipe when i don't feel like chewing (or when it is super hot out) is Spirutein vanilla flavor with orange juice and frozen berries, blended up. Delicious and full of nummy nutrients from the Spirutien powder. Just drink it out of an opaque cup if you don't add the berries, as it has a tendency to turn green if you let it sit too long and that wierds me out.
Heh. Thanks. I just bought some Slim-Fast shakes, as I don't want to figure out how to make shakes and smoothies for the first time while on Vicodin.

C'mon! Where is your sense of adventure. If House can be fully functioning on Vicodin, you can! (ignore the recent
hallucinations
stuff. That won't happen to you!)
Why yes, I am not wanting to head into work again. But alas, here I go.
Continued ~ma to the list. Ugg, sorry it all rained on everyone yesterday.
Man, I am drinking a Belgian "quad" style beer put out by Harpoon- stronger than the Belgian tripel. Wow, this beer is NOT subtle. Good thing I love the burn! Well, I need the burn. I figure this is like drinking whiskey but will permit me to get on with my day tomorrow.
I love that beer, but, yes, very in-your-face about its strength. And decidedly NOT a session beer.

I think that shakes designed to aid people in weight loss might not provide a healthy young male adult with enough nutrition/calories.

Seriously? 1. Put 1 cup frozen fruit and 1 cup milk in blender. 2. Blend the shit out of it. 3. Drink the smoothie.

You make it sound so simple! Anyway, I don't have a working blender. I could go get one, but that would involve...going to get one. One day, I'll learn how to make a smoothie thing! Right now, everything is stressing me out too much.
If I'd skim more, I'd probably have more time to post, but something catches my eye, I go back three screens to see what I missed, catch up, and I'm out of time, but I send the ~ma like crazy.
Deena my sistah! Good to see you, always.
