Yesterday was a good day!
First: I commented on the blog Quaker Large Rice Cakes Now Labeled Gluten-Free and Giveaway at http://glutenfreefun.blogspot.com/ and won the giveaway, a free sample of Quaker Gluten Free Rice Cakes. I’m so excited, I never win anything. Well that’s not really true. For some reason I always win A LOT of gifts but only at wedding and baby showers. It’s really kind of strange and my family (well my sisters) gets very annoyed. I walk out of these showers with almost as much as the bride or mom to be. At one shower they were pulling names for a door prize, my name had already been pulled so my niece said “Come stand by me so I win something”. I went over and……..she won lol.
Second: I qualified for a survey about Crohns Disease and they are sending me a check for $50.00. YAY!!!
Other than that it was a lazy Thursday. We are in between baseball seasons so I’m enjoying a nice break. It feels good to stay home and eat!!! I’ve been lounging around in my sweats with my hair pulled back and no makeup….it feels so nice. However, I am getting absolutely nothing done around the house… “I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.” (She says in her Scarlett O’Hara voice)
I did make my first loaf of gluten free white bread. I’ve made several cinnamon and raisin loafs which I love but I wanted some gluten free bread for making sandwiches. I was very pleased with the outcome. I used a Red Mill Mix and it mixed up easily and baked up light (not heavy like some mixes) and made a good sandwich.
So what can I win today??? Anyone have a good giveaway out there for me???
Love, Laugh, and always know where the nearest bathroom is

My beautiful niece Kassandra and my beautiful (big:) sister Carol started the team “Steppin’ Out For Catherine Sarah” for the 2010 Take Steps, Be Heard For Crohn’s and Colitis Pittsburgh, PA Walk on June 13th 2010 in Schenley Park. The goal was to raise money and awareness for a cure for me (Crohns) and my beautiful niece Sarah (Colitis) and the million plus American adults and children who are affected by these diseases. I hope we can all walk again next year

Favorite Bathrooms
- Home Sweet Home
- When I'm @ someones house: the one farthest away from the crowd
- @ the Mall: Macy's (as public bathrooms go this one is very nice)
- If I can't make it to Macy's...JC Penney's will have to do (they recently remodeled so it is better than it was. I don't know why they didn't ask for my input???)
- Monterey Bay Fish Grotto in Monroeville has a great bathroom
- Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, My fav place to vacation, their rooms have the most wonderful bathrooms

@Crohns Humor
Signs you are a crohnie: You're the only person you know that wants to eat salad but you can't.
I'm convinced everyone in this world has some form of OCD. My OCD just happens to be "Obsessive Crohn's Disease".
A good Bowel Prep Can Prevent A Crappy Day!
May your life be like toilet paper, long and useful.
Bathroom graffiti under a sign that said "Employees Must Wash Hands" someone wrote: I waited and waited, but I finally washed them myself.
Sign on bathroom door: Do not disturb, busy battling Crohns Disease!
My life is full. 70% in waiting rooms. 20% in bathrooms. 5% with the doctor. 5% sleep.

Baseball Quotes
"You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time." Jim Bouton, Ball Four, 1970
"A ball player's got to be kept hungry to become a big-leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family ever made the big leagues."
Joe DiMaggio, quoted in New York Times, 30 April 1961
"The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love."
Bryant Gumbel, 1981

Fun Facts
The three days of Christmas: It will take up to 72 hours to digest your holiday dinner. Carbs (stuffing and pumpkin pie) will be processed first. The dry, overcooked protein that is your holiday turkey will come next. Fat (gravy and whiped cream) will be the last to go. However if you have Crohns I predict that it will be out in less then 72 minutes.
The small intestine contains so many folds-down to the microscopic level-that its total surface area is about 2,700 square feet, enough to cover a tennis court.....1 inch of that with crohns = tons of horrible, unbelievable pain and it is amazing how quickly food can pass through it!!!
The gastrointestinal tract is a 30 foot tube....unless you've had some of it removed like me!!!
In 1953, Hasbro gave Mr. Potato Head a family: Mrs. Potato Head, a son named Supd, and a daughter named Yam (http://www.mentalfloss.com/)
Who started the Gatorade shower?
Although the exact origins of the tradition are hotly debated, former New York Giants defensive tackle Jim Burt often gets the credit for the first bath. (http://www.mentalfloss.com/)
