you will probably be disappointed with this post because it's not as juicy as i've made it sound. but without further ado: the scandal. all of columbia is covered in a yellow coat of pollen at present (exhibit a: the top of my car). i've never encountered anything like it before moving here. at church yesterday, i scandalized my friend max when i said that if nature were a man, i would have him thrown in jail for what he's done to my car. i find this a slightly more polite way of expressing my friend phil's reading of the situation, which is that we are all extras in nature's porn film. what we need is a hard rain.
and now the confession. i've recently discovered i must be allergic to coconut in high doses. when i was home over spring break, brooke made macaroons for our oscar party and i ate my fill. then two days later, when i was shopping for some new clothes, i noticed i had hives. i didn't know what had caused them until recently, when my friend alicia sent me a care package that included macaroons. when i got hives again, i made the connection. but that didn't slow me down any as i worked my way through the rest of those little tasties. and i would eat one right now if i had one. and i would eat TWO if i had two. and so on.

oh my--sewing your scandalous saying where'er you go!!
as for the coconut allergy...ignore it! that's the best way to overcome & still enjoy. hives=nothing. love of coconut=everything.
(ps: glad you're not allergic to blog posting)
i'll send you a care package with a bottle of benadryl. i'm with caron. hives schmives. eat up.
i'll be an extra in nature's porn film any day. as long as nature keeps making flowers, fruit and nuts, i'm in.
hehe. y'all are real funny. thanks for your support in regard to ignoring the hives. i'd been feeling a little abashed. now i realize, i'm not alone!
hives? what the hellya talkin' about? hives?
you need to write something new.
I realize I'm a good 8 months late on this conversation, but your post was so funny, I had to comment. Bottom line: you make me want to find something I'm allergic to- and eat it. That's what you to do me, sister. Love the blog.
