Feeling better today…
Happy FRIDAY, everyone! I’m feeling better today. Just thought I’d announce that.
I think, perhaps, my biggest problem yesterday was the lack of sleep I had the night before due to a food allergy. As usual, when I’m tired, I become a true blonde — This includes forgetting to read labels of food that I’m preparing.
Duh. See, I’m very sensitive to bell peppers. I can eat a couple of peices, but then I have to step away from the rest, or I’ll have heartburn all night. I’m talking, serious pain… So, when I prepared soup for M and I on Wednesday night (after having a few too many peices of red pepper *the night before*) I was so tired that I completely looked past the Campbell’s Soup label that clearly read: “Blended Red Pepper Soup”. I ate the whole bowl. Of course, that meant I was up all night.
So, I guess peace of mind comes from a good night’s sleep as well as balance. Last night, I got both. Feeling loved, and getting a whole night of cuddles really does make the world a better place. [[big grin]]
What’s everyone looking forward to this weekend? Me? I’m looking for a few good people to hang with tonight (email me if you want to catch up!) and tomorrow, we’ve got a dinner party early in the evening, and then a get-together out in Burnaby afterwards. Good times!

That’s not an allergy, it’s an intolerance. I have the same reaction to broccoli and can’t even eat the smallest bit of it. The difference between an allergy and an intolerance is vast. An allergy means a reaction like hives or mouth numbness or even an anaphlactic shock, which is deadly. An intolerance means your body just can’t tolerate the item, but you don’t get an allergic reaction to it.
Step away from the peppers. Actually this is a fairly common reaction. I can’t eat green bell peppers either, but I can eat the dutch yellow, red and orange ones. Do you react to those, too?

Holy re-skin, batman!
Wow, I like the changes to your site.
Glad you’re feeling better.
It is so bright in here——*sun glasses*— that’s better, nice look: pure, simple, yet easy to read. I love the logo! A blog should be like fashion: a change is always good to mark the season with–reminds me of winter.
Very nice. Congrats on the new look!
watch them labels girl, me Im so lucky I get to work all weekend!
The family bon voyage party Saturday night, then I’m driving halfway to Houston on Sunday. Hope yours is wonderful!
looking forward to finishing the unpacking process at my new place, getting the home theatre setup and watching some movies. and finding some “me time”
I’m not allergic to bell peppers. I just can’t stand the taste of them! It’s the only food I can think of that I actually LIE about when I go out. I ask if there is bell peppers in a dish, and then lie and say that I’m allergic so that they take them out! (Does that make me a bad person?)
Anyhow, sorry to hear about your discomfort! I’m looking forward to going out tonight for cocktails with my best girlfriends. Tomorrow night we’re going to hear some music at a club in NYC. Sunday… SLEEP!!!!
Hope you have a great weekend. Oh, Michele sent me, but I would have made it over on my own eventually!
Could it be acid reflux that you’re suffering from?
Have a good weekend!
sounds like you got a busy weekend… I am going to do some relaxin, maybe some bloggin, and maybe heat up some soup on a cold winters day….
Careful there. Next time you might not get lucky…especially if you’re taking medicines.

I understand your pain, I get really bad heartburn from certain foods and often go into automatic mode and don’t pay attention to what I’m putting into my mouth…not the brightest thing I can do!
