Ch-ch-ch-chia!

You might not know this about me, but I’m easily influenced.

Shocking, I know.

I am forever trying random crap I see on the interwebs.

I haven’t found the magic “suddenly perfect Emily” pill yet, but I keep trying.

My latest craze? Chia seeds.

I found them on Pinterest! (and we know how that ALWAYS works well for me…)

Of course, I rushed out and bought some, and I’ve been adding them to my water for the past couple of weeks. It looks like I’m drinking bugs.

I haven’t noticed any major health benefits, but it’s actually really good! I add a few tablespoons of seeds and a shot of lime juice to my water in the morning, and I’m good to go.

I’m sure I’ll move on to something else crazy in a few weeks, but this is my flavor of the day.

What weird things do you eat or drink?

But I don’t WANT to be Jenny when I grow up.

Coffee

The beautiful thing about Jenny’s and my relationship is that we have nothing in common.

See that coffee picture up there? That’s not ACTUALLY our coffee, but it is representative of the coffee we both drink.

She’s the yin to my yang, the peanut butter to my jelly, the salt to my pepper, the republican to my democrat.

We are not supposed to be alike.

But because of my STUPID ADRENAL glands, I’m going to have to be like her after all.

In the worst way possible. (I mean, besides being a republican. Ha!)

I have to be gluten free.

And it pisses me off.

Not because I am going to miss the gluten (because I’ve been doing it for a week and a half and, whatever, it’s fine), but because I am NOW going to have to spend half my time rolling my eyes at MYSELF. Because all this “gluten free” nonsense is annoying. I’m going to have to get myself a gluten free pinterest board and ask servers “oh excuse me, is this GLUTEN FREEEEEE????” and never eat pizza again.

This is going to be AWESOME.

Jenny’s going to fire me.

Oh hi. Remember me? I’m the other cousin who used to write on here once in a while. I don’t know what my deal has been lately, but on most days I cannot think of anything to write about.

Today is no exception – drawing a total blank.

I’m in the midst of one of those stages where there’s 150 things going on at one time, and while nothing in particular is going poorly, it doesn’t seem like anything is quite right, either.

Evidently my meds need to be adjusted.

So, yeah. What’s up with you?
