The Highs and Lows of last week.
Lows
1. My great uncle Frank died (as noted in my last blog). There is nothing worse than seeing my Pepe (my grandfather) weep at the foot of his kid brother's coffin. Nothing. Worse.
2. I got a flat tire on the way to the funeral. Note to truck drivers: Make sure those rubber strappy things are secured tight to the truck bed or else they fall off and get stuck in people's tires.
3. The Red Wings lost in Game 7 to San Jose. They rallied back from being down 3 goals. I don't care what anyone says, the Wings are awesome.
4. There is roughly 6 loads of laundry sitting in our bedroom right now. I'm sure Kasia is gently and oh-so-carefully picking out all of my underwear and socks for a mid-morning snack.
5. I thought May weather was suppose to involve sunshine? Maybe I missed the memo indicating that half way through May we would be experiencing 40 degree nights?
Highs
1. I was in Bloomington, IN for my sister's final baby shower. It was great to meet Carrie's work friends. (Her pal Mande is awesome and a great organizer of baby rooms (if anyone wants to hire her)).
2. Baby Greta's room is finally finished. With the help of Mande, we put away all of Greta's little clothes (that resemble pot holders and circles of soft material) and staged the furniture.
3. This morning I took a gander and tried on a pair of pants that haven't fit in 2 years. Yahtzee. Those bitches fit AND they're too big! I was skeptical at first but I'm beginning to think that a life without gluten is good.
-I started the gluten-free diet to help with the itchies. My head would itch, my arms would itch....
gross.
-Essentially, I cut out any flour products, oats, barley, rye, pasta, etc. I do however, eat corn, rice
and buckwheat.
-Without the massive amounts of carbs being ingested (and substituted for veggies, etc) I have shrunk.
4. Kasia's namesake, Kathryn Shannon Whorf graduated from medical school. Now equipped with a MD from George Michael, I mean George Washington University, KSW can start to kick some hospital ass. I couldn't be more proud-- Tater Tot is an auxilliary sister to the Mofo Ohana and has worked so hard for this accomplishment!
5. The Real Housewives of New Joyzee starts tonight. Holler. I love me some "gaw-bidge".
