You know what’s boring? The Republican convention. I am enjoying that guy dressed up as Lincoln.
You know what’s NOT boring? RibFest. It was awesome.
Choices, choices…Also, yes, Damon’s hair is getting long. I can’t remember how long we were dating when he said, “Do you want me to grow a mullet? I’d grow one, if you asked me to.” He’s brought it up on several occasions, and now I think he’s just having a go at it.
He’s looking at me like that because I was so excited about documenting EVERY SECOND of his Rib Fest experience that I was like a fucking scrapbooking mom: ”Damon! Point to the corn sign! Point to it and smile!”
(this lady had a little egg shaker thing that she shook to the music…)
Jenn: ”That is so you and me in twenty years.”
Damon: “Ten years!”
All you need to learn in life, Little Hoosier: Shootin’ and NASCAR!
It was friggin’ hot. I drank about a gallon of lemonade. Helllooo diabeetus.
I named this on “Amerrikuh,” pronounciation a la George W.
Damon, sampling ribs from “Pigfoot.” I put it in quotes because I couldn’t live with myself typing it out like I was trying to be serious about it. The ribs were okay, but not as good as the ones Damon makes. I’m not just saying that because he’s my lover/roommate. His are seriously the best.
Uhh…

I do believe I would commit murder to get me a huge ear of sweet corn. Alas its still around six months away, if everything goes according to schedule, and then I will have the wait till it grows again. Of course by then I will be ready to eat many ears and drink lemon shakeups till I have the diabeetus again. One of the great side benefits of the surgery I had is no more blood sugars out of control since I was about 3 days out.
By the way, the sign may have been serious. I had some Vietnamese food once that burned hotter coming out then it did going in and thats no shit. Well, I wish it had been no shit but it was fiery shit instead :P

It was pretty fantastic, I’m not going to lie. Wait - so did you technically have diabetes, and now you don’t? Awesome!

It got so bad for a while that I had to switch from pills to shots of insulin but then I got back to pills on a pretty strict diet. Two or three days after the surgery my sugars started dropping and havent been above 130 since. Thats 130 around half an hour after I eat a meal and then it drops to normal. I have read that in Europe they are beginning to use the surgery I had as a cure for diabetes. I am normally 85 to 110 now and loving it :)
