time to snooze

Ahhhh...finally back to the hotel room - I feel the need to point out, I have the room to myself. YAY for not working non-profit anymore.

I've been at a conference all day - it was great, but now I'm tired. There was a reception with lovely wine and appy's post conference and of course we had to go for dinner before returning to the hotel. Suddenly its 9:30pm and I've only JUST made it back to the room.

Time for a hot bath (maybe) and a nice big snooze.

I ♥ my Katie dog

My Katie went to sleep today.

I looked her in the eyes,
I stroked her face,
I told her I loved her.

She was tired,
And She was ready,
But I'm still sad.

I will miss her,
I will love her.
I will never forget her.

Goodbye my Katie girl.

dim sum, enzymes and wakame!

And the Dim Sum verdict?

My enzymes, combined with wheat-free diligence allowed me to enjoy dim sum, without the post meal stomach troubles. YAY!!

Unfortunately, I did recently have a reminder about the importance of reading the ingredients with a fine toothed comb. On a recent trip to the Asian grocery, I was ecstatic to discover cup-o-rice noodles, I quickly read the ingredients and happily purchased a few to try...Upon emptying the veggie packet into the soup, I was distraught to discover what looked like seaweed floating in my bowl. A quick review of the ingredients yielded wakame.

Unfortunately, I was working late and had no other food options, so I ate the noodles. I tried to avoid the seaweed, and truthfully wasn't overly concerned as I do eat sushi. However, an hour later, I needed to be relieved to use the facilities - apparently wakame DEFINITLEY has soy sauce.

Dammit.
