random update

Did I mentione I'm allergic to sulfites? Yeah, I totally am. It's crazy it took me so long to figure it out. The rashy, itchy chest, itchy as HELL swollen feet, redness, etc. It's so sad, because I love wine and Mike's Hard Lemonade, which have high levels of sulfites. Explaining why when I have hard booze, I tend to be OK, but when I'm drinking shit like Bacardi or whatever, I feel awful. So, I'm trying to gradually switch to beer, or just sticking to hard booze. I'm giving Leinenkugel's a shot.. trying their Berryweiss (sp?) and their Summer Shandi.

I'm working on making devilled eggs. They're one of my favorite foods, and I'm determined to learn how to make them myself. Also I'd like to learn how to make egg salad, but I might wait for a different day for that;) I'm a horrible cook, so trying things makes me nervous. Hilariously though, every guy I've ever dated til now has been proficient at cooking. Matt's a terrible cook, though. Although- he can make bacon, and I'm scared of the grease popping everywhere. I also stay away from pork. I might have one piece when Dad makes it, only if it's perfect looking and crunchy. In fact I pretty much stay away from red meat altogether these days. What's the point. Just clogs your arteries, has absolutely no nutritional value, and is probably highly unhealthy with the way the cows and stuff are treated. Now if only I could talk myself out of chocolate chip cookies and brownies....and into vegetables. Unfortunately I tend to like them only 1) drenched in butter 2) drenched in cheese 3) salted a lot 4) mixed into stuff like mashed potatoes, cuz I'm just gross like that! I also have no idea how to get the best nutritional values out of veggies. I hear all this mixed stuff like steaming removes nutrients, then boiling removes them, etc etc, it's like WHAT'S BEST? Jeeez. If I'm going to eat something I don't like for it's health value then it better have as many nutrients in it as freaking possible.

I can't wait til next weekend... I already hate this one. I am just not a fan of weekends with most of my friends MIA. I didn't get out of bed til nearly 1 today. Just laying there thinking, wow everything seems so pointless. Hmmph. I went to bed at 10:30 last night, and missed Matt's IM 11 minutes later :( I figured he would be out very late, coming home from a funeral in Wisconsin, but he got home early. He called me at 12:30 to say hello and I was completely conked out, and managed to ask how he was doing and tell him I was sleeping and missing him, and that's all I really remember. Today he said I was really cute during the conversation, hehe. Aw.

Brianna might try to come home for the Counting Crows show next month. She has to check to see if she's on duty.... that would be so great. If not, I'm considering forcing Matt to accompany me. The girl who was supposed to go isn't returning my calls, so fuck that.

I think it's going to me, some beer, and Entourage tonight once I get these devilled eggs made. I really hope I don't fuck them up!! Here's hoping :) I have to exchange the hot water for cold water now to cool them off.
