Updates...



Had an interesting dream last night...dreamed that a gluten-free brekkie had been added to a local restaurant's menu in my honor. It was poached eggs, baked ham, baked potato wedges and fresh fruit. Not bad, eh? Unfortunately, I also had some nasty nightmares, one of which left me in tears. Yep, it was one of those toss and turn nights, even with the Ambien.

Went back to Penney's to exchange the jeans I had bought last weekend that didn't fit. Guess what? The pair that DID fit (the ones I had tried on in the store) was the fluke! Apparently that style of Lee jeans has huge waistbands, and the pair that fit was the "mistake". I am very hard to fit since I have a size 12 waist and a size 16 abdomen. So I looked around for something else. Had to try on SEVEN other styles of stretch denim size 14 before I found anything close. Lee makes something called "slim fit" now...from what I can tell, all it means is the waistband is smaller.

Left the store with not enough time to go home before church, but too much time to go straight to church, so I had Dan take me to a new scrapbooking store called Archivers. Photo albums are pretty much the only thing I do that could be considered a craft, and I've got more "gear" for it at home than you can imagine. I got this great set of 18 different types of scissors for Christmas, but I'm out of paper, so I looked around for some. Wow! Every kind of paper you can imagine, plus albums, pens, stickers, stencils and stamp stuff. The line at the cashier's was too long for me to purchase anything before church, but I will definitely return there sometime.

Talked to the pastor after church about my dilemma with communion (I can't eat the bread anymore)...she said she would look into acquiring some gluten-free wafers. They last practically forever and so can be used as needed. I was concerned about requesting special treatment, but I think this would be a good solution, especially if someone else joins the congregation who can't have bread.
