My Little Life

Been awhile since I've done a Talkin' Shop post, huh?! Let's talk about allergies, today, my friends. I'm not talking the sniffles you get every fall from ragweed (I mean, really...who isn't allergic to that stuff?!), I'm talking about drug allergies. Allergy: (Taken right from my Mac's dictionary.) al ler gy |ˈalərjē| noun ( pl. -gies ) a damaging immune response by the body to a substance, esp. pollen, fur, a particular food, or dust, to which it has become hypersensitive . (Pssst...Apple dictionary dudes, you left out "drugs".) (Via Google Image) Many people will cite an allergy to a drug if it causes them nausea and/or vomiting, particularly to narcotics.

Here's the catch: If you list a drug as an allergy, it can prevent you from getting other drugs in that drug class. For example: If you say you are allergic to morphine b...

(Again, see previous post, obviously I find plenty of non-mushroom containing things to eat...) (Via Google Image) ~Goat Cheese...' cuz it seems like the cool thing to do. ~Sweating...See Running, above. Also, then I would have a reason for all this inappropriate perspiring I do. Too bad I don't lose weight with all the fluid seeping from my underarms at the most inopportune times. ~Cutting up fruit...fruit makes itself so inconvenient to eat. Doritos on the other hand? Grab, rip, chow down. ~Shaving my legs...or maybe I wish more that I didn't mind having hairy legs. ~Winter...it would make living in this ice box we call "Minnesota", so much easier. ~Bike riding...my butt bones protest. Loudly. ~E...

...but continue to eat like there is a famine quickly approaching. "Cookie?" " MMMMMM ...ME WANT COOKIE!!" "Ice Cream?" "4 bowls, please...with extra whipped cream!" "Doritos?" "Well, don't mind if I do (have the whole bag)!" The Mr. and I were talking last night...me about my "I'm going to start exercising tomor ...no, wait, I work tomorrow. Okay, I'm going to start exercising Wedne ...no, it's the last football game....it'll have to be Thursda ...oh, that's right...Fall Break. Kids underfeet , you know...so, I'll start next week. But, there's that whole 'sun in the second moon with the wind from the west' thing going on..." And on and on and on. I was really on a roll this summer. Paying attention to what I ate, working on my running...then, we went on vacation...and my appetite and will power for exercises stayed on vacation after we got back. I told the hubby, "When ...
