Seven Things You May Not Know about The Savvy Celiac

We bloggers have to stick together.  In fact, Wendy at Celiacs in the House tagged me and asked me to reveal 7 Things You May Not Know about Me and then ask others to do the same… So here goes.

7 Things You May Not Know about Me

1. I once almost jumped the counter at McDonalds once when workers screwed up my newly diagnosed, 16-month-old daughter’s gluten-free hamburger and put a bun on it.  Then in their “fixing” of the problem; I watched as the person just took the patty off the bun and stuck it back in the box. Still angers me to this day 8 years later.

2. Still about once or twice a year I grieve over Emma’s celiac disease. It happens when I least expect it – then suddenly “woe is me!” I’m usually over it in a day.

3. I am a horrible texter. Takes me forever!

4. My favorite place to be in the whole world is with my husband, hanging out on a beach listening to the waves crashing.

5. One of the best moments for me was finishing the IronGirl Duathlon in Bloomington, Minnesota.

6. I have sung in Carnegie Hall.

7. My favorite quote is from my husband last year after I was complaining my legs ached after a run and I felt unmotivated. He said “Take two ibuprofen, get off your lazy butt and go change the world.”   The quote is something that keeps ringing in my head — all I can say is I’m doing the best I can.

I am tagging the Gluten Free Optimist,  Mom Cooks Gluten Free, Daily Delights, Mrs. Gluten Free to do this list and send it on to others.  I know it should be seven…my apologies that it is not.  Just call me a rebel.  These ladies are all in the Celiac Awareness group on TwitterMoms!
