And She'll Have Fun Fun Fun...
- the_pilchard friended me. I'm not sure if I should be moving my tassel to the left side and dancing a jig, or if I should shelve the jigger and be frightened. One bad maneuver on my part and he might flick me into non-existence. Semolina of the Highlands has a fierce reputation.
- Speaking of jigger... when I was a little girl I thought it was: "And she'll have fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy takes the jigger away." Come to find out that jigger really IS something. 1) A person who dances a jig (okay, yeah, no-brainer. Like a flicker would be someone who flicks. See how that works?) And the other meaning of jigger is 2) A machine or vehicle with a part that rocks or moves back and forth.
If any part of that vehicle was moving or rocking back and forth, it's no wonder why she'd be having so much fun and why her daddy would take it away.

- September 3rd, 2015 I ate my last bowl of ice cream. Yep. You read that right. LAST. That was the day I gave up refined sugar. I was tired of the way added sugar made me feel after eating it, so I decided right then I was done and I quit cold turkey. After giving it up, I realize just how addicted I was. And to this day I still crave cake, and chocolate, and ice cream, and more chocolate, and pie, and cookies. The two large bags of Halloween candy have been haunting me. Every now and then I take a trick-or-treat bag down from atop the fridge and peer into my daughter's stash. It takes all my willpower not to eat the entire bag.
Aside from the sweets, I gave up all "not a sweet but still has sugar in it" such as... bbq sauce, sweetened almond milk, tomato soup (*sobs*), sweetened tea, many salad dressings, anything with syrupy sauces such as orange chicken, etc. You get the picture.
One of the huge benefits is that, for the most part, I no longer get migraines. Sugar was definitely a trigger. As much as I miss sweets, I will never go back to eating them because the cost far outweighs any temporary delight that they give me.
