Time to Wake Up!

I am beginning this week with a whole new outlook - and keeping that in check with a new grading system. I know, it seems strange to have to grade myself. Seriously, though, my productivity was so low this winter that it was like I slept all season. My blogs, poems, stories and all creativity slept with me. I can say I read a lot which is always a good thing.

Late Nights and Gluten Free Stuffed Olives

I was in quite a mood the other night. I was hungry, working with low blood sugar (meaning VERY cranky) and nothing sounded good to eat. Yep, I was in a full scale I-miss-gluten-filled-junk-food-so-I-won't-eat-anything funk. I hate it when this happens! I think I'll blame T.V. It's all those commercials for huge hamburgers (with fluffy gluten filled buns) fried onion rings, pies, cakes, ice cream cakes, donuts... You get the point (and now I'm hungry again).

So, I'm sitting there at 11:30 at night and Poj (the bestest husband in the world) says, "What can I fix you to eat, baby?"

The Ranch

I've been out of touch for a little while. It makes me feel totally disconnected to think of how long it has been since I have posted any articles or blog entries! I feel better when I think of the fact that it has been for an excellent cause, and today I'm excited to take you on a mini tour of where I've been :)

140 Characters or Less

I am truly blown away at this moment. We can call it information overload, we can pass it off as an “emotional day”. I’m going to call it a moment of understanding. One of those moments when the whole world comes together to overlap and steal me away to a reverie.

Oddly enough, Twitter is the culprit here. I don’t know about you, but Twitter has always seemed a bit trivial to me. Say all of the important things that you want the world to know in 140 characters or less and hope the world reads your message the way it was intended. Little bites of information, most with links that carry a promise of the full meal at the other end.

The Silver Lining

It's facelift time again (apparently). To be honest, I wasn't even aware that I was planning a redesign here until it was already underway. This time I went all the way with it, though, holding nothing back. Truth is, nothing about the old style, including the name, fit me. Maybe that's the reason that I never could write as often as I should. I was spending too much time thinking about what to write, and no time writing what I feel.

My Little Valentine

Wow! It's been a busy week! I'm sure it should be Friday... but, alas, Wednesday prevails.

D.D. and I have bee having a lot of fun the last couple days preparing for the big Valentine's celebration at school. It was (what else) a pizza party!

My husband, blessed soul that he is, planned for this a week ago. He made sure to get some Udi's Pizza Crusts (see the review) for us. His plan was to cook the pizza the night before and send it to school in the lunch box the next day. Yuck!! But, D.D. wouldn't have minded (reference her pizza habits in the previous post).

This Post Has No Purpose!

Since this is a 100% gluten free blog, I have decided that (for today anyway) it is a good place for anything and everything gluten free.  Yes, I have stated the obvious... I just wanted to be upfront about the fact that there is no great article to follow, no important information to pass on. This post has no grand purpose such as that.

Instead, I am going to use this post to share a bit of what is going on in this gluten free world of mine.
