Research and Ramblings




Does all the "research" out there ever make you crazy. I've spent most of my day today reading web page after web page full of contradictions and unclear results. All you med students out there (that I'm sure are not even reading this because who has time to read a blog in med school?) seriously consider doing some hard core, legit celiac research. We need you. We need answers.

Anyways, great news! Yesterday was a good day! I felt as good as I have in probably two weeks yesterday. Praise God for that relief. I was able to get some good things done around the house, plus a little relaxation at the pool. I'm finding that throwing myself into little projects is a welcome distraction. I realized the other day that since we moved the rest of the house is decorated and looking nice but our bedroom was still pretty blah in the decorations department. So, I weighed my options. I could either spend 60-80 bucks buying art for the walls or I could go to Hobby Lobby and create my own for about 20 bucks. I'm all for Design on a Dime so I went with it. I think it turned out pretty cool. It's not on the walls yet because by the time I got home from coffee with good friends it was too late to be banging on the walls. (We have little kids who live in the apartment above us) It looks great sitting on my living room floor though! HA!
Yesterday I also made some more homemade potato chips to have on hand. They are safe from foods that I know are bad for me (and hopefully foods I don't know are bad for me) and they are super tasty. I also decided to get a little adventurous and make some homemade ketchup. Hubby said it's the best ketchup he's ever had. I'm ok with that. :)
Today I got Elizabeth Hasselbeck's book "The G Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide" from the library. I'll let you know my thoughts as I read.

That's all for now.

PS Pics are of the bedroom decs as they are now. On the living room floor but laid out as they will go on the walls.
