Up and Down, Up and Down...
The last few days have been up and down. I’ve been well, but I heard that a friend died. Guess things like that make you question your own mortality. I’m now determined to take better care of me. I was a vegetarian before getting pregnant last year. Around the third month I couldn’t stand vegetables and had a hankering for meat. My poor husband didn’t know what to make of my demands for jerked pork…pork, which I haven’t eaten for over twenty years. I really tried having vegetables, but my stomach rebelled and I had to eat...I mean the little one needed nourishment.
So now that the little man is approaching 9-months old, yikes, I’m getting back to vegetarianism. I didn’t know it would be so hard to resume. Of course, my darling Owen also fell off the vegetarian wagon in support of his wife…isn’t he nice? He bought a hunk of tofu a week ago which is still sitting in the fridge. Anyway, I’m only on chicken primarily, so it’s not so bad.
Oh, in case you’re wondering about my water situation, it’s a bit better, but still not over.

Jess, you really ought to try Cheez Whiz sandwiches. When nothing else will do, it's tops in my book. No need for meat when there's a jar of Cheez Whiz in the pantry. Oh man the uses. Bait on mousetraps. A must at my house. Then, if the Cheez Whiz runs out, I reach waaaay inside my cabinet, pull out the mouse trap and if the little varmint hasn't beaten me to it, it makes a tasty treat!
I respect the vegan lifestyle and in theory I believe in it, but I've seen so many many suffer from certain deficiencies in their diets I've not been able to get sold on it. I do try to lower my meat intake as much as I can...I know that makes me the enemy in a way, which is funny, considering I interviewed the lead singer in a band yesterday whose principles reflect my own and she's totally righteous...I love animals and question why I eat them. It's a double-standard, I know.
