So, I've got this cold. It's annoying. It really only bothers me when I'm tired. Then my throat starts burning and my eyes get watery and my head starts filling with gnarly gunk. Sleeping is a problem. NyQuil solved that problem for a couple of nights, but the night before last it didn't help at all and I could hardly sleep and when I did sleep I had crizzazy dreams about being on an Olympic swim team and also having to be on the diving team despite the fact that I don't know how to dive...and I did a canonball. Anyway...
Last night I skipped the NyQuil. It took hours to fall asleep. During those hours one of the things I thought about was food. Specifically food that I don't like. I realized that there is a difference in foods that I don't like and foods that I just won't eat. Foods that cause my gag reflex to go into overdrive just from the thought. To break it down for you...I do not like grapefruit but I could eat it if I had to. Same with cream cheese or capers. I can scrape that mess off and still eat whatever it was on. But the following foods creep me right the heck out. Cottage cheese. Thousand Island dressing. Eggs cooked anyway other than scrambled and scrambled until they are very well done. The thought of the runny yolk of a fried egg makes my stomach turn every single time. Sauerkraut and all forms of cabbage. Aspics. Giblet gravy. Chicken Divan. Raw oysters. Lobster rolls. Anything pickled.
That's all I can remember right now, but I know there are lots more. Of course, everyone knows about the well-documented Ouiser family aversion to mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dressing and the like. Yuck.
Okay, my coffee is ready, and after two nights of subpar sleep, I need it. How did I live through having a newborn without coffee?
Have a great day, peeps.

Hey LIAR, what tree are YOU smelling?? You said the Ouisers had an artificial tree!
That sounds like an interesting dream. A & M came over yesterday and we got to talking about dreams, imagining dreaming that you were a basketball, or in the finale of your dance recital everyone is in Hogwarts garb, and singing songs from High School Musical. Well, we'll miss you tomorrow, but more peanut butter balls for me!
this latest installment just solidified in my mind why you and M are so perfect for each other
hope you get to feeling better soon!
