Well we got back fr our 2 day trip abt 10ish last night. It was a super wonderful 2 days (even though I thout abt & worried abt my cats). We did a lot of laughing, well, actually a lot of all good things. We went to this reptile garden & my sister had her picture taken with a phython snake wrapped around her. This guy was abt 10 ft long. Saw tons of really interesting, lets say, creatures there. I even stood & looked at tarantula's, me, the queen of spider phobia. Mind you they were behind glass but usually I can't even be in the same room type of thing. We went to this house/museum dated in 1882. Wow was that COOL. Walking through all the rooms, etc. Found this restaurant which has a Celiac menu. Get this, I had a rueben sandwhich, my 1st in abt 4 yrs. And I had pizza LIKE WOW ORDERING PIZZA IN A RESTAURANT. And, ceasar salad. And, chocolate chip cookies. Anywho you're all gonna think I'm nutso so I won't ramble on but suffice to say when you live Gluten Free these things are pretty exciting. BUT, I'm pooped today I tell ya. My Lupus behaved quite well, but my sister made sure we paced ourselves good & always ate when I needed a meal. Gonna go for a facial this afternoon & take a few days to rest & get caught up on life.

OMGoodness, tarantulas, you crazy lady. I have a real phobia too. but Dr. Phil says that desensitizing yourself the way you did it really helps and I agree. I used to have the pet shop owners put them all in another room before I\'d go into their shop for something with my kid LOL. but as I think about this topic, I can\'t let my feet rest on the floor -- too creepy. haha
I don\'t know how your sister let that snake wrap her. I\'d be gasping for breath with fear.
So, the celiac menu... was it OK with your diabetes? I get confused about things that are gluten free but still high in carbs... how does that work for you?
anyway, I hope you have a lovely facial. what a lovely thought. xoxo
Celiac menu. You where in luck girl. By the sounds of it you fully enjoyed yourself. Snakes, reptiles and spigers. yuk!!!! I couldn\'t do it, no way.
Seriously, glad you had a wonderful time. I think those holidays are truly good for us.
Lots of hugs Nancy
