well I never

I always knew food was important to me but I never really saw the effects of certain things until recently. Things like chocolate and caffeine will keep me up at night so I now must avoid them after work if I want to get any sleep at night. One little piece of chocolate will have me tossing and turning all night long and really make me cranky. Even though I love chocolate, it's rarely worth it. Something I learned from Tosa is that protein helps my mood. I tend to get down and kinda depressed sometimes - more than most people I think. What I didn't realize was that it was because of a lack of protein in my diet. Who knew? Since she mentioned this to me, I've noticed the difference. If I'm ever having a bad morning, it's usually because I didn't have any meats the day before. Now I'll make a point of having a burger or chicken sandwich at lunch and my afternoon will be so much better! It's absolutely amazing to me and I wish I had known years ago. This discovery may just change my life for the better and hopefully I'll be a much happier person in the future! I'll be good tomorrow...I had a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's for dinner.

Of course, I have to take my car in for servicing so I may not be too happy when I get the bill for that. I've been neglecting the poor girl and she's way overdue for a tuneup. I'm heading down to Peoria for Tosa's niece's 1st birthday party this weekend and I need to make sure my car will survive the trip. I've been stranded on the trip before because of car issues and I never want that to happen again. It's a 3 hour drive through corn fields, so being stranded is not much fun. The good thing is the weather should be better by then. No more cold weather advisories and we should have sunshine and heat. It's not supposed to be this cold in May - even in Chicago! I'm looking forward to the trip because Tosa's family is like an extension of my family. I've known them most of my life and have even crashed at least one reunion...maybe two. They're a fun bunch, even if I was trapped in a car with Mom for 3 hours while she was telling me about her sex life. Too much information!! Thankfully, she's single right now so I'm safe this time. When we're in California for Tosa's wedding she'll probably be my roommate so I'm hoping to make a deal this weekend that she keeps any future stories to herself -- there's only so much a girl can take!
