Meh, neither am I. I'm sure Jessica is pleased for your company, Rie, and I would like to hear more about how you make your artichokes!

Shannon, on the one hand I feel better about the junk I've been eating when I see that I'm not the only one eating junk. On the other hand, I feel like non-maintainers popping in here are going to think that we always eat this much.

The frustrating part is that my real food is all healthy 95% of the time. It's just the ice cream, chocolate, etc. that has been sneaking in due to emotional eating which is the problem. Then again, dessert has always been my problem.

I had an upset stomach earlier today, and I thought the banana or string cheese I had brought would make it worse. So I went looking for something in the vending machine to make my stomach feel better, but there was no ginger ale. DH had been talking about m&ms so I bought peanut m&ms. The crazy part is that they actually did make my stomach feel better.
