If anyone was wondering, I am now not eating dairy, wheat, soy, and corn. And refined sugar. This is only day two, and actually it should be day one, because last night a 7-year-old gave me a valentine and it had a candy heart in it, and even though those things are entirely corn syrup and refined sugar, I had to eat it. I mean, come on. A valentine from a first-grader. It was the cutest thing that has happened to me in weeks!
In other kid-related news, a family that is near and dear to my heart has just let me know that they are expecting another baby this summer. I realized that I haven't been this excited about someone's pregnancy since my Upcoming Baby Brother was announced 15 years ago. Actually, we are coming up on 16 years ago, really. Anyway, facebook would have you believe that tons of my besties are busting out babies, but really, those close to me have not yet begun. But I tell you what, when I heard this news, I immediately began screaming into the phone, "wait WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS OR IS THAT A JOKE? OH MY GOD!!!!!" and got all pumped up pacing the room, spending the next half an hour imagining how awesome the kid is going to be and what it will look like and when I can meet it. "Is this real? Am I sure I didn't have that conversation in a dream world?"
In completely unrelated news, I did a couple of head stands in the casework office at the end of my break today, just to get ready to go back in the milieu, and it was awesome.
