My frustration is building.
I'm imagining the frustration as a 7-8 story high building and the builders never go on break. It keeps growing taller.
I'm trying pretty hard to do this gluten free (GF) diet thing and unknowingly failing at it. I understand it is going to take some time to go completely GF but this is ridiculous. I want results now!
I know when I've gone off the path because I get horrible symptoms and just an overwhelming feeling of "blah." It's so hard not to open the cupboard and grab some graham crackers or wheat thins. Yes, I'm a whiny brat. I feel like Veruca Salt from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. " I want it now!!"
This is actually quite embarrassing. I should stop writing now.

Mismatched Aprons
So I recently got my sewing machine out again. I originally put it away because it kept binding up the fabric and not working correctly. I'm sure the machine needs a cleaning or tune-up or something. I'm not sure where to take it and money could be spent elsewhere. For now, it works.
I have so many sewing projects that I've started and not finished. For instance, I started making curtains for my mom. I still have all of the material and measurements safely together. Every time I try to work on them, the machine quits on me. Now that my machine is working ok, I think I remember packing that material away for when we move. Sorry mom- I promise I'll finish them sooner than later. I have so many projects like this that just need to be finished.
I've seen a lot of really neat patterns of aprons on the web. I've decided to give them a whirl. They're all mismatched patterns but colors that go together. I've started one so far and it's looking pretty good. I'm matching a dark pink flower pattern with a black and white repeating pattern.
All of the scrap remnants from this project will be used for a quilt one day in the future. I've never made a quilt but it couldn't be that hard, right?
Here's what I've got so far. I'll post another photo when it's complete.

In Mourning
Hello fellow Celiacs and friends!
08/10/2010
This is officially my first post to my new blog. I was diagnosed Celiac on July 21, 2010. I was also told that I'm lactose intolerant, and can't have many fruits and vegetables that I love. One thing that I don't understand is that I'm also not supposed to have yeast. Who's sensitive to yeast!? Apparently I am and also to many other foods.
Since that day, I've been floating through life thinking that I have plenty of time to heal my stomach and insides. I've been trying really hard to stay away from the gluten but still occasionally consuming other foods I'm sensitive to. Now, I've had these horrible symptoms of Celiac for years. I need to wake up, stop mourning food, and get healthy!
At my last appointment with the holistic doctor, they told me that I need to start taking all of these vitamins ( 7 different ones to be exact ) and I don't like it. I've actually only bought one of the seven because I hate taking pills. I hate medicine. I feel most of us are equipped to heal our bodies ourselves. Now that I know my diagnosis I think I'm going to try it my way. Every website I read about Celiac doesn't talk about taking a bunch of vitamins. It just expresses the need for diet change.
So today I'm going to try my hardest to not consume ANYTHING bad for me. I'm also going to enjoy the sunshine!
