This morning was a rough one, nausea-wise. My first mistake was brushing my tongue too far back while hurriedly trying to get ready for work. I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, thankfully, because I knew my stomach wouldn't support it, so there wasn't anything to come up. The 'hurlie swirlies' got worse on the drive to work, though, and it was then and there I decided I needed some grease - good old-fashioned grease. Originally hailing from Southern Indiana, I have a serious love of grits. Give me a plate of cheesy grits* and I will make out with you on the spot .
Upon getting to work, I grabbed my friend Tiffany and we walked over to the House Office Building "HOB" cafe so I could load up on grits (with lots of butter and salt!), bacon, and cheesy scrambled eggs. On the way there, I told her that I needed grits, STAT! And then I said "There's nothing grits can't fix!" And that, my dear friends, just might need to go on my tombstone someday. ;o)
*Mmmm...cheesy grits. That reminds me of the one of the best meals I ever had when I was in New Orleans for a bachelorette weekend (hi, Jilly - love you!) in 2008...NOLA - one of Emeril Lagasse's restaurants - is the place where dreams are perfectly prepared, folks.
LOL!!!!! I swear, a book should be written from all of your crazy quotes and stories! :o)
ReplyDeleteSoo...did it stay down??!! :-) Hopefully it did!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I know, Tiff, you are so right!
ReplyDeleteYes, it did stay down, Kelly! Soooo glad. How tragic it would be to lose grits! ;o)
Oh man - morning tooth-brushing is like my arch nemesis. I had a dentist appointment a couple weeks ago and the gal was all, "hmm...you have some tartar on your back teeth, which is strange because you usually take such good care of your teeth" - but she understood when I explained it was the baby's fault, lol. I guess careful brushing went out the window for a while :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE NOLA! They have a dessert called the Buzz Bomb that is heaven on Earth! Not to mention the Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes. But I shouldn't be allowed to mention food with alcohol in it on your pregnancy blog, I suppose ;-). Seriously, the next time I go to N.O. will be specifically to go back to NOLA. <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better this afternoon!
I should've been born in the South because I LOVE me some grits!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Chickpea will too :)
Amy, I just caught up on all of your posts. These are great! You are quite the writer. I agree with Shareece - I see a book in your future.

Hi! Just reading this now. That was a GREAT meal and so hilarious since we were all dressed up in our bachelorette gear. I still have those penis ears in my closet. :)
