WOW, those bars look amazing! I happen to love almonds and dark chocolate, so they are up my alley, indeed. Where does one find such delicacies?

So here’s the deal (yes I follow you on twitter and saw your msg about dairy-free chocolate..)

As someone who is allergic to nearly everything under the sun and in the factory, I’ve found a dairy-free, gluten-free, organic, etc. etc. chocolate bar that is actually quite delicious. It’s called Crispy Cats Toasted Almond (and here’s the weird part..I borderline strongly dislike both dark chocolate and almonds, and yet this bar is AMAZING). But before I over-sell (only for the bar to possibly under-deliver), here’s a link for your visual taste buds to judge: http://store.nugonutrition.com/products/00006.html

FIrst and foremost, thank you. You are giving me way too much credit. All I can do is to be honest, and to laugh at myself….just like you said, so eloquently, we are all human and in this together. And your life, in no way, is petty! I think we all cling to that which we can control; that which is a constant. Change is scary! But, good. To think, on this day last year, my baby was only a wish. It’s amazing what a difference a year can make (there’s a reason why it’s a cliche, I think). Thank you, again, for all of your amazing comments. They inspire me to keep writing!

I have to tell you, this post really touched me. So much so that I pulled myself out of bed to face the blaring light of my office just to whip out the laptop and tell you about it.

You see, I find myself continually amazed by you. I read your entries and I think, “wait a minute..isn’t she supposed to be hormonal? tired? frazzled? irrational? at least a little bit?” There are times when I struggle to digest the changes in my own petty life, when I cling to what tiny amounts of control I can exert over things, when I’d almost rather run and hide than walk through it all…but then I remember that’s all (mostly) normal. It’s human. We’re all in this game together, and I’m grateful to you for sharing some of your human-ness with us today. Ripple effects, man.
