If you…
General life advice for you.
If you know you are allergic to MSG, you should not assume that all Chinese places have removed MSG from their ingredient list. In fact, it should be a significant sign to you that they do NOT have any signs at the store or on their website, indicating a lack of MSG. If you do not check this, you may end up sick for an entire night. Wishing that you could just die instead of live through the rotating nausea and cramping.
If you are up way too late from an allergic reaction, caffeine may not be just enough to stay awake for your 54 mile commute.
If you are having trouble staying awake, you should not drive in the lanes closest to the bushes. Although, accidentally “grazing” a bush was probably better than “grazing” a car.
If you didn’t put a diet coke in a fridge, you should NOT take one out. Because a VERY tired person might think you a HUGE douche. Especially if it’s the second time it’s happened.
If you drive a convertible, you shouldn’t pick your nose.
If you spend most of your day touting the wonders of sunscreen to elementary school kids, you should probably apply it to yourself so you don’t end up sunburned after lecturing them.
If you can’t keep up with work and one blog, the best idea ever is to start another.
If you are going to BlogHer in a week, please join me in a big giant freak out over the fact that it’s one. week. away.
If you want to learn to cook and have anything special you’re yearning to learn, go to The Kitchenettes and tell us. By tonight if you want your input involved in the first recipes.
If you want to share any life experience, please see your way to the comments.








Welcome! I'm Katie, a 28 year old, full-time graduate student who just happened to have brain surgery in November of 2007 to give my ginormous brain a little more space. This blog chronicles my daily life, from relentless headaches to being a doctor's wife. Sit down, get comfortable and stay for a while.











Please tell me the convertible info was an observation and not an account of your personal activity.
Please.

Sounds like you're a walking, breathing object lesson for the kids. Go you!

So… about the diet coke… got your solution. Keep one in your car (I know, hot but caffeine is good) for the next time and do this at the same time:
Shake the can really really really well before you put it in the fridge. Or get a 20 oz, do the same thing.
Hee hee just the image of someone walking around soaked in stolen diet-coke stain makes me laugh.
